The Test System

All testing was done on a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with all the latest updates installed. All benchmarks were completed on the desktop with no other programs running. The Corsair DOMINATOR memory modules were run in triple-channel mode at 1600MHz with 8-8-8-24 timings. The ATI Radeon HD graphics cards were tested with 10.4 CATALYST suite drivers. The ASRock X58 Extreme3 motherboard was running BIOS version 1.4.  The I7 930 processor was running at the default clock of 2.8 with turbo disabled. The ASRock 890GX was running the latest Bios version 1.8. Two of the Corsair Dominator memory modules were run in dual channel mode at 1600MHz with 8,8,8,24 timings.
