After installing the two memory modules, we checked the SPD Timings using the latest CPU-Z.

For these tests, we used an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ CPU (Newcastle), running at 2200MHz.

We will also be comparing the Corsair XMS TwinX 1024-3200XL RAM modules with the OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Platinum Revision 2. Below you can see the SPD Timing for the OCZ Platinum memory modules, again according to CPU-Z.

Here's a rundown of our testbed:
