All tests were run using a clean
install
of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit. For our stock speed tests, we ran
everything at default timings for the CPU. Our 4GB Patriot DDR3 kit was
running at speeds of 1600MHz and 8-8-8-24 timings. The Corsair kit was used at 1600MHz and 9-9-9-24 timings on the ASRock board. We used the latest
BIOS available at the time of testing, which was the 10/03/24, dated 3/29/2010; we used the Catalyst 10.4 drivers for our Gigabyte Radeon HD 5670.
