Looking at the performance of the Corsair Vengeance 4x4GB kit, we found out that not all RAM solutions are made equal.

This is a pretty interesting result! I'd be very curious to see what speed/timings do to the results. i.e. does 1833 RAM give a significant advantage?

Thanks,
Chris

We're not doing any overclocking for these reviews so they're standardized and have stable results. I would expect a moderate bump in performance when OCd.

It looks like the data may be withing the margin of arror for the benchmarks? No one is going to see a 2-3% diff. in speed however.

Some were close, others like that webserver trace had massive differences.

It would be nice to know if it makes any real world diff however. Never under estimate a hardware vendor's ability to figure out a means to inflate benchmarks... ;)

Well in the scope of this review, we weren't looking at the performance of the system per the RAM speeds, but the speed of the RAM Disk itself. Kind of like comparing one SSD versus another.

Understood. My point is typically a few percent change in RAM/CPU/HD/GPU performance is not even detectable is system use.

Even do interesting results, i was missing a lot of data/test i was bin interested in.

Mainly a comparison to a SSD.
And if possible more memory 32GB or 64GB.

Good review.

I am using Qsoft's RAMdisk Enterprise and I am very happy with the results. I use 8GB of my 4x4GB (G.Skill Ripjaw DDR3 PC3 12800)setup.
