First thing to note here is that the HYPER-X is both faster and can operate at faster time intervals. This means that it will be able to process information faster and take in more information at the same time. This can be viewed in the values of the first 2 columns. The most significant difference can be noted in the mem set and the Random integer analysis. Because the Kingston RAM is faster it is able to request the information faster than the Crucial ballistics RAM, therefore the speed in MB/sec is greatly increased. Overall almost all of the values are above those of Crucial which is to be expected from faster RAM. In this particular test Kingston a very impressive job.
After overclocking the system, the RAM itself did not perform as well on in some of the tests as at the original setting which was to be expected because of the higher clock timings. The differences are enough to be noted. In fact at the Random integer test as well as the memset the ram performed much better than without overclocking.

Performance Test Kingston @ 4.032 GHz |
This test's conclusion was rather unexpected. Despite the obvious advantage that the memory itself possesses, Kingston memory scored lower than the underhanded Crucial. This test however was not only designed to test just memory but the overall system performance wherein probably lies the problem. The particular test of interest was the rendering of a plane flying through the mountains. During this test the setup with the Kingston RAM performed about 3-4 frames per second better than with the crucial, and while overclocked performed 6-9 seconds better. This particular test however was not significant enough to outweigh the performance of all the other components of the system.
