AData Vitesta G-Series Memory 4GB DDR2-800

AData Vitesta G-Series Memory

Testing:

SiSoftware Sandra XII SP2b

"SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software. It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what's really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCI Express), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc."

We used the Memory Bandwidth benchmark to get a proper look at how the memory was performing. As shown in the results about, SiSoft Sandra reported the memory bandwidth using both integers and floats. As we can see, the results for the Cruical Ballistix 2GB and Kingston HyperX 2GB were pretty much the same, with a small improvement using floats on Kingston's HyperX. We can see the difference when we toss in the other two memory modules that are included in the four gigabyte kit. Once installed we notice that the bandwidth increased from 9.05 GB/s to nearly 9.8 GB/s. You can also see that the AData DDR2-800 didn't perform nearly as good as the two DDR2-1066, as expected with the speed difference. When the AData was Overclocked to 1066MHz with 5-5-5-15 timings the speeds were a significant increase, but still no where near the DDR2-1066 sets.

PassMark Memory Tests reports nearly the same as SiSoft Sandra. With the Cruical Ballistix 2GB and the Kingston HyperX 2GB performing neck and neck, with a slight improvement for Kingstons HyperX Memory. When we install the other two modules, we notice that there is a significant improvement, resulting in a change from 73.8 to 77.5. Although this unlike with SiSoft Sandra, The AData G-Series performed right up there with the two kits of DDR2-1066, performing only 0.5 less than them.
