Benchmark Analysis

We used Rightmark Memory Analyzer to gather some information about the product as well as perform some preliminary reports of the rams overall performance.

Intel 875 (Canterwood) - To hard set your latency times in the BIOS you will have to change the DRAM timing to a "manual" or "user define" setting rather than "auto" or "by SPD". See your motherboard manual for specific details.

Technical Information

This is simple we used RightMark Memory Analyzer v3.3 and found out we do in deed have a super low 2-2-2-6 timings. The chipset is genuine Samsung 5.0ns modules specifically the K4H560838F. The K4H560838F which can process 268,435,456 bits of double data rate synchronous DRAM organized as 4x 8,388,608 / 4x 4,194,304 words by 4/16bits, fabricated with Samsung's high performance CMOS technology, is why Mushkin is at the forefront in DDR Solutions.

CPU-Z v1.24

From 200MHz FSB to 219MHz FSB on this configuration we got a steady and stable 2-2-2-5 timing report by CPU-Z. While our BIOS Reports 2-2-2-6 this is super fast, I can't stress that enough, while it was designed to compete with other 2-2-2-5 offerings it does a great job of doing just that. In fact these modules hold that tight timing at a higher FSB than that of some of the competition out there.

Once we hit a Front side bus of 221MHz the ram shifts into a 2-4-4-8 on our configuration to make up for the frequency changes. Even so, we are running at a 1:1 ratio and will still get top of the line performance.

*Note* RightMark Memory Analyzer & CPU-Z both report a disimiliar tRAS number. Mushkin says its 2-2-2-6 so that's what we go with folks! That's not to say the RAM will not run at 2-2-2-5. Mushkin programs the SPD to 2-2-2-6.
