For our testing today we are converting a 3.3GB 720p MKV file (2hr 12 mins) to Apple Mp4 format for playback on a portable device. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power.
By simply switching out the memory we can save 10% of the time taken with the encoding process. With intensive bandwidth related tasks such as this, the differences are very noticeable.
Very good review, nice to see some real world applications involved. wasn’t expecting such a huge increase in video encoding performance. I still dont have a new system as im holding off on the sandybridge upgrade due to the motherboard problems.
Its all so blue, it burns ! (nice kit, kidding)
Excellent, seems like spending a little extra on good memory for sandybridge will help the bandwidth a lot. I was going to opt for 1600mhz, but the little extra might be worth the cash.
a 4GB version of this would do me. 8GB is wicked though if you need it for pro apps. but for gaming, no need imo.
I have never bought kingston memory, but im hearing good things on many review sites lately. maybe they are taking the enthusiast user seriously now
Kingston is one of my first purchase choices every time I buy RAM. I have never had a bad stick from them and they work with everything I put them in. No other brand can make that claim with my builds!
what’s the point to compare 2133mhz RAM with 1k ones…
@ Ethan. Seems pretty obvious, to show performance increases when you buy better memory. They aren’t ‘1k ones’. its 1333mhz memory.
Yep. been buying Kingston myself for years. this is not a shock
Its good that kingston seem to be becoming cooler now with the audiences on the hard core tech sites. they are one of the biggest by far and put a lot of quality control into their selection.
Very nice kit indeed. Shall bookmark this for when im building my sandybridge system in a few months. 2600K was ordered last week 🙂
Well i had no bloody idea memory could make such a huge difference to overall performance, I know what im doing next system build, getting the best memory I can afford. I do a lot of encoding, not gaming.
