Hardware for testing of the DDR3:

• XFX GeForce 7800 GT video card
• Asus P5K3 Deluxe motherboard
• Asus P5E3 Premium motherboard

Software & Benchmarks Used

Here is a list of the tests performed:

• Windows XP Pro SP2
• RightMark Memory Analyzer
• SiSoft Sandra 2007
• WinRAR

Video drivers used were the NVIDIA ForceWare version 93.71 package.

We made the test systems as similar as we could, other than the memory - so it should give us some very interesting results!
