Testing time

Testing:

Test setup:
Intel Core i7 920 CPU
Asus Rampage 2 Extreme
Corsair TR3X6G1600C7
Asus 9800GT
Patriot  TorqX 64Gb SSD
Coolermaster M700 PSU

Due to a lack of a second tri channel kit we are comparing this vs a dual channel kit to show you the difference. Testing was done with Sisoft Sandra 2009, Everest Ultimate and Pcmark Vantage.

Sisoft Sandra 2009, One stick:

In case your memory sticks break or you just need we decided to see if there is some speed difference between single sticks. We can clearly see that the Patriot ram is a bit faster when it comes to one stick at a time.

Sisoft Sandra 2009, Dual, Tri channel:

Here we run the Patriot kit as dual channel and the Corsair kit as tri channel, the difference is quite big as suspected with another memory stick.
