With a configuration of 200 x 17.0 FSB using stock voltages we benched using Sandra 2005 and this is what we got at a completely stock rig. Ram was set at 3-3-3-8.

The improvement is somewhat significant but nothing to rave about, while this does show DDR2 is starting to stomp on some high end DDR standards. Notice the 3-3-3-8 timings?  Can we say tight! Whats to come next is shocking though!

With a cofiguration of 236 x 17.0 FSB using stock voltages we benched using Sandra 2005 and this is what we got at a completely stock rig with the exception of a 236 MHz FSB. Ram was set at 4-4-4-12. This configuration put our processor at 4.012 GHz. Holy !@#*

We got a whopping 6000MB/s with addition throughput using this configuration. This is some of the fastest ram we have seen on our test rig to date surpassing even the DDR2 PC5400 samples we have. This was ran using a stock Intel HSF, using stock timings of 4-4-4-12, with stock voltages.

This ram is fast, real fast! For the money you cant beat it, we pulled this off at 4.012GHz using a Pentium 4 550 and that’s unreal! This configuration is virtually wiping clean the synthetic test rigs used in comparison that are incorporated in Sandra 2005. One thing is certain this test bed runs great on this ram.

This is our 4th and final configuration and we just broke all barriers with our test rig, being able to benchmark under a 240 x 17.0 FSB using the Mushkin PC2-4200 Dual Channel ram. This is a huge over-clock on air cooling. We also give prop's to DFI for allowing us a sample of the 925X-T2 in order to provide this review. This ram has allowed us to run this configuration at it's fastest over-clock ever!!! (Amazed Look)

With the iSSE2 scores pushing the 6000 MB/s area this ram is just crazy fast. Anyone considering DDR2 should put that ram at the top of the list. It's flexibility and head-room will wake up any Intel system. This is the first time we can boot up to windows and do benchmarks at 240 MHz FSB. That's 4.080 GHz on the richter scale!

This ram rocks!!! And thats the bottum line!!!
