Benchmarks: 3DMark2001, UT2003

3DMark2001SE Source: FutureMark

By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001SE has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics.

Higher numbers denote better performance.

We're a bit surprised to see that the stock OCZ 4000EL Gold performs better than all the other memory on the Athlon64 system! The memory scores exactly where we'd expect it to on the Intel test bed.

Unreal Tournament 2003

Source:Epic

Unreal Tournament 2003 is the sequel to 1999's multiple 'Game of the Year' award winner. It uses the very latest Unreal Engine technology - where graphics, sound and game play are taken beyond the bleeding edge. Unreal Tournament 2003 employs the use of Vertex as well as Pixel Shaders and it's recommended that you use a DirectX 8 videocard to get the most out of the game.

Memory timings play more of a key role here in UT2003, that's why even when overclocked on the Athlon64 based system the OCZ PC4000EL Gold doesn't perform at the same level as the "slower" OCZ PC3200 Platinum LTD Edition. The Intel test rig gets a nice boost when the DDR is overclocked, but that can also be attributed to the higher CPU clock speed as well.
