The Test System
Testing Procedure:
All testing was done on a fresh install of Windows XP Professional build 2600 with Service Pack 2 and DirectX 9.0c. All benchmarks were completed on the desktop with no other software programs running. All of the modules were run in dual channel mode! The memory on the Intel and AMD test platforms with DDR2 memory was run with Corsair PC2-6400C3 memory running 4GB at 3-4-3-9 2T timings at 800MHz. The memory on the AMD DDR1 motherboard was running 2GB at 400MHz with 2-3-2-6 timings. The ATI X1900XTX video card used CATALYST 6.6 public drivers.
