Corsair TwinX PC4400 Dual Channel Memory Review

Memory by jmke @ 2004-01-29

Corsair Micro has released what is currently the fastest DDR on the market. Their Twin-X4400 (DDR550) is ideally suited for Canterwood based 875 chipset platforms. We test them on a battery of motherboards to find out how far this memory can push your system!

3D Benchmarks

3D Benchmarks :

I ran Code Creatures, first at 275FSB, under SPD, PAT enabled in Chipset, and Standard in the Asus BIOS:

Madshrimps (c)

And Code Creatures again at 250FSB under the same conditions:

Madshrimps (c)

Next unto AquaMark3. First at 275FSB, once again SPD, and PAT enabled in Chipset, and Standard. Vcore at default and VDIMM remained at 2.85V:

Madshrimps (c)

To exemplify the difference between Manual and SPD settings under Chipset, I ran the benchmarks at the same 275FSB, with the exception of Manual setting in the Chipset menu, at CAS 3-4-4-8. While I noticed no impact on performance in Code Creatures, there was a significant (2K increase) difference running AquaMark3:

Madshrimps (c)

Next I ran 250FSB, and found no difference between running the memory on SPD or Manual at this frequency? I can only surmise, for this particular benchmark, and while at the higher FSB speeds, there must be some effect on the MCH under Manual conducive to higher frequencies:
