OCZ 3700 Gold Rev. 3: DDR500 Value for Athlon 64 & Intel 478

Intel Test Results: OCZ PC3700 Gold Rev. 3

To be considered stable for test purposes, Quake3 benchmark, UT2003 Demo, Super PI, Aquamark 3, and Comanche 4 had to complete without incident. Any of these, and in particular Super PI, will crash a less than stable memory configuration. We have also included results for RCW-ET using the Radar benchmark.

OCZ 3700 Gold Rev. 3 is a bit slower at DDR400 than the top-performing 2-2-2 DIMMs based on Samsung and Micron chips. However, performance at DDR400 is still reasonably competitive with 2-2-2 timings. In the range from 450 to 533, the 3700 Gold R3/4000 Gold R2 are very competitive, performing as well as the top DIMMs that we have tested in that memory speed range.
