OCZ PC2-5400
3. Benchmarks
The OCZ PC2-5400 memory kit was mainly tested with an ASUS A6JA. There were no in-compatibility issues, either alone or combined with the stock 1GB DDR-533 memory. All tests performed under the same enviroment, using the same benchmark utilities. After installing the memory module, we checked its preferences with the latest available version of Everest Ultimate Edition 2006. The memory runs at 333Mhz with 5-5-5-15 cache latency.
Everest Ultimate Edition 2006 gives us more info about the CPU's current FSB clock/speed. Due to higher FSB speed, we expect higher performance, our test results will unveil if that true or not...

- Gaming Performance
F.E.A.R has one of the most demanding graphic engine. At maximum quality settings, all memory configurations showed equal performance (22FPS average). The 2GB of RAM didn't seemed to affect gaming performance at all.
Same results happened also with Heroes of Might And Magic V (v1.1). Using FRAPS, we got an average of 19 fps, at 1280x800 resolution with best quality settings.
