RightMark Read

Unlike Sandra, RightMark Read is a more accurate measure of raw potential memory read bandwidth, and it really shows here.

At stock speeds, the OCZ PC3-10666 Platinum Dual Channel kit beats the Corsair PC3-10666, however both are badly beaten by the Corsair PC2-8888 low latency DDR2 memory at stock speeds - although most of the difference can be attributed to the 1600MHz FSB vs. 1333MHz FSB in favor of the DDR2 memory.

When overclocked, the Corsair PC3-10666 beats the overclocked OCZ PC3-10666 - but both lose badly to the overclocked DDR2 PC2-8888

RightMark Write

It is interesting to see how the story changed for write bandwidth.

At stock speeds, the OCZ and Corsair PC3-10666 memories were neck and neck, regardless of the latency differences; and when overclocked, they were still neck and neck, and dominated the chart, badly beating on the Corsair PC2-8888 results.
