KT333CE Test System :

Epox 8K3A+ Motherboard
AMD AthlonXP 2100+
512MB XMS3500 CAS2

SiSoft Sandra Memory Benchmark :

To get a feel for the general performance levels I ran the memory at 333MHz on our Epox 8K3A+ and compared them to those of Corsair's XMS3200 CAS2. As expected results were pretty much identical, certainly well within the margin for error.

HotCPU Tester Pro :

Hot CPU Tester Pro is a system health and stability tester. It tests CPU, and virtually all parts of motherboard for errors/bugs and defective parts. It is a burn-in test with uniquely designed state of the art DefectTech engine. DefectTech is a technology developed by 7Byte Computers to diagnostic systems regarding its stability and in general computer's health. Hot CPU Tester is currently being used in many labs and governmental organizations around the world, as a reliable diagnostic and trouble shooting program. In this instance I only ran the benchmark portion of the software to draw a comparison. Again we see near identical results for both the XMS3200 and XMS3500.

ScienceMark2 :

We made regular use of the original ScienceMark for general system and particularly CPU performance tests and version 2 maintains that tradition and even adds to it. Along with bug fixes, a new interface and new tests comes a quick and effective memory benchmark. Here we see that memory latency does record very slightly lower for the XMS3500 but not really by enough to draw any conclusions.

3DMark2001 SE (1024x768) :

3DMark®2001 SE (build 330) is the latest installment in the popular 3DMark series. By combining DirectX®8.1 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide benchmark results that empower you to make informed hardware assessments. That's MadOnion.com's spin on it, no doubt you have a view of your own
