Patriot DDR2-1066/PC2-8500 1 GB Memory Kit Review
Gaming Performance
Contents
Gaming is one arena where changing the memory module by another with a higher speed grade usually raises the performance of the game. Here we used Quake 4, which is based on the same engine as Doom 3.
We ran Quake 4 multiplayer demo id_demo001 on 1024x768x32 with no image quality settings enabled. We run it four times and the results shown on the chart is an arithmetic average of the collected data. The results are in frames per second. For more information on how to use Quake 4 to benchmark your system, read our tutorial on this subject.
The methodology we used you can check on the “How We Tested” section. The results you can see on the chart and table below.
