Dual-Channel Kits

Our first game benchmark, Crysis, did not appear to be too picky with the brand of memory used as the variance in scores was extremely small and negligible to the user. Surprisingly, Corsair memory seemed to have the 'edge' here, with even the DDR3-1333 version right at the top, followed by OCZ.

Triple-Channel Kits

We saw the same thing for the triple-channel kits, where even the DDR3-1333 memory modules, provided that they were running at the lower latencies, could stay competitive. OCZ, G.SKILL and Patriot were the top performers here by a slight margin.
