Test: Corsair TWINX2048-4000PT

Konklusion / UK Summary

Corsair's TWINX2048-4000PT yder helt bestemt rigtig godt. 1GB hukommelsesklodser ved en clockfrekvens på 250MHz må siges at være rigtig godt gået. Dette er dog med lidt slappe timings, men modulernes størrelse taget i betragtning, er det hvad man kan forvente. At nå denne ydelse med så store hukommelsesklodser giver Corsair en score på 4.

Det lykkedes kun at overclocke modulerne med ca. 5 % over de specificerede 250MHz. Ikke synderlig imponerende. Jeg mener dog ikke at dette er Corsair's skyld, men derimod det noget middelmådige system testen er bygget på. Dette har bevirket at jeg ikke har taget stort hensyn til overclockings-evne i pointgivning.

Designet af modulerne, hvilket for nogle vil have en betydning, er ganske flot. Aluminium heatspreaderen giver modulerne en rigtig flot finish. Endnu en score på 4.

Prisen på dette sæt er ifølge www.edbpriser.dk kun 1957,-. Dette er en utrolig god pris for 2GB PC4000 hukommelse. Corsair fortjener helt bestemt en topkarakter på 5 for prisen.



The performance of Corsair's memory modules TWINX2048-4000PT is great. 1GB memory-modules operating at a clock frequency of 250MHz is a job well done by Corsair. This feat is achieved using moderately lax timings, but given the size of the modules this is what can be expected. Achieving speeds this high with memory modules of said size, gives Corsair a score of 4 out of 5 in terms of performance.

Regretfully, I was only able to overclock these modules by a mere 5 percent above the specified 250MHz. Not at all impressive. I do not, however, believe this to be Corsair's fault. The test-system is sadly very average, and I believe the system is to blame for the bottleneck. For this reason, I have opted not to include the overclockability of the memory in my considerations of performance.

The design of the modules, which will have great significance for some, is dashing. The aluminum heatspreaders gives the modules a very nice finish. Another score of 4.

The price of the memory setup is 1957 DKK according to danish price portal www.edbpriser.dk. This is a most excellent price for 2GB of PC4000 memory. Corsair definitely deserves a top score of 5 for pricing.
