ID Software Doom 3 1.3 Source: id Software

Doom 3 takes advantage of the latest videocard technology and pushes the processing power of the CPU to its absolute limit. At its highest setting, Ultra quality, texture sizes pass the 500MB mark which means even tomorrow's videocards will have a hard time running everything. The frame rates in the game itself are locked at 60 fps so anything above that point is wasted. Each test is run three times with the third run being recorded.

4GB Mushkin XP2-6400 (200/1130) 206.5

Framerates in Doom 3 place the 4GB Mushkin XP2-6400 memory near top spot. Overclocking does little for us in this gaming test, with these settings the system is primarily going to be CPU limited.

ID Software Quake 4 1.3

Source: id Software

Quake 4 is the latest shooter from ID and is based on the Doom 3 engine. Tweaked to for more eye candy, Quake 4 promises to be tougher on videocards and systems than its predecessor was. Quake 4 also does not have a 60 fps limiter like Doom 3, with the Ultra setting, graphic textures can surpass the 500MB mark! Each test is run three times and with the third run being recorded.

Quake 4 framerates are nice and high, if you're a gamer the 4GB Mushkin XP2-6400 memory will definitely provide plenty of memory for gaming.
