Memory benchmarking

Memory read and write speed, memory latency measurement to stress the memory and cache subsystem, including references list to compare actual performance with other systems.

It's kind of interesting how EVEREST generally favors low latency RAM in this revision of EVEREST on the Core 2 platform over ones with high bandwidth. Either way, the Patriot Extreme Performance RAM is extremely close to the Super Talent Project X set (7-7-7-20 and 7-6-6-18, respectively). The OCZ Special Ops Urban Elite RAM fell behind, because of its DDR3-1333 spec at relatively loose latencies of 9-9-9-20. On well, how fair is it to compare value memory (OCZ Special Ops) to the performance units (Everyone else)? Stock Ford Focus vs. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Who wins? (The 'vette does. Even if the Focus actually starts up lol. Just kidding.)
