Everest Ultimate v4.2

This test is one that allows you to see the latencies of accessing the memory as well as read and write bandwidth, remember, low latencies are best and higher bandwidth is better.

Yet another test for bandwidths and latencies, this test shows the Crucial RAM sliding out ahead of the Kingston HyperX 2 GB set in most cases, but the 4 GB configuration still beat them both.

PerformanceTest v6.1

PerformanceTest6.1 is made to do a more through test of your RAM and try to nail down its transfer rate during specific read/write operations that are typical of normal RAM usage. If you know nothing else about what this test does just note that it is a transfer rate and thus higher numbers are better.

As you can see, the 2 GB Kingston RAM and the Crucial RAM both were very close in all the bench marks and the 4 GB set on Kingston RAM just barely eked out ahead.
