Testing (continued):
Lavalys Everest Ultimate Edition:
Lavalys Everest Ultimate Edition 4.20 was the next benchmark to be executed. Four sets of results are provided, including memory read speed (in MB/s), memory write speed (in MB/s), memory copy speed (in MB/s), and memory latency (in ns). Higher values are better for read, write, and copy, while lower values are better for latency. The chart below shows the results achieved in the 32-Bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium.
The results for the G.Skill kit are very impressive; it puts up the best results for read speed and latency, and competitive results for copy speed and write speed. Overclocking just makes things even better.
With the 64-Bit version of Windows Vista running, the test was repeated. Lavalys doesn't have a 64-Bit version of Everest, so results from the 32-Bit version are presented below.
The fact that the test application isn't 64-Bit may explain why the difference isn't as significant as we saw in Performance Test, but even running the 32-Bit program in a 64-Bit environment shows some benefits. While we saw a 22% increase when switching from 32-Bit to 64-Bit in Performance Test, here we see something more along the lines of a 1% to 7% improvement.
