Corsair Quick Time Video:

Here you will get to see the XPERT in action. The Quick Time movie on the left has a custom message programmed into them and the movie on the right shows you out of the box settings and what you will see when you first fire up the XPERT.

Benchmarks:

Ok now that we dazzled you with the fun stuff, lets get right to the performance side of things and see what these bad boys can do!

RightMark Memory Analyzer v3.41

Let's analyze a bit what we are seeing here. The first picture is with the Intel P4 at the stock speed of 2.8GHz and running the XPERT memory at stock 400MHz. Next to that we already increased the bus speed from 200MHz to 220MHz. This will end up on the processor side to a 3.08GHz. At the timings are very strict on the stock speeds we had to increase them from 2-2-2-5 to 2-4-4-8 to get the memory running smooth.

So does this memory have more to give then that? Hell yeah! So let's get going and push for a bit more. We clocked the bus speed to 230MHz which put the processor running at 3.22GHz and the memory at 460MHz. Which gives as already a 60MHz increase.

Can we get any futher? What do you think... We went further and tried the 240MHz bus speed. And we gotten ourselves a 3.36GHz CPU and 480MHz memory kit. Of course the timings in thise case are still set at 2-4-4-8. But this proves once again that Corsair chose the right chipsets to power this memory.

So those that are looking for very low timings and latency can get the Corsair XMS XPERT memory on their shopping list. With an extreme low latency of 2-2-2-5 these XPERT memory modules gives excellent performance at 200 Mhz FSB & 220 MHz FSB on our test system.

CPU-Z 1.27

An extra view on what we have achieved with the Corsair XMS XPERT memory in our Test System. Our CPU could be boosted from 2.8GHz to to 3.36GHz by increasing the bus speed from 200MHz to 240MHz. And this has brought the XPERT memory up to 480MHz.
