2x1GB OCZ Platinum Series PC2-4200 EB (533MHz 3-2-2-8)
2x1GB Corsair PC2-5400UL (675MHz 3-3-2-8; tested at 666MHz)
2x1GB Crucial PC2-6400 (800MHz 4-4-4-8)
Windows XP-64
WD 74GB Raptor
The memory was tested against two other Fatbody D9 based memory kits, Crucial’s PC2-6400 offering, and Corsair’s PC2-5400UL offering, in SuperPi 1M and 32M, SiSoft’s Bandwidth test, and Everest’s latency and bandwidth tests.

Interpreting the Results
The OCZ sticks came out at the bottom in every test, though this is to be expected, given their low default clocks compared with the competing sticks, which were also priced significantly higher than these sticks (the OCZs at $240, Corsair’s at $600 and the Crucial’s at $375). I suspect that this RAM’s riches lie in its overclocking abilities.
