About 3DMark06
3DMark®06 is the worldwide standard in advanced 3D game performance benchmarking. A fundamental tool for every company in the PC industry as well as PC users and gamers, 3DMark06 uses advanced real-time 3D game workloads to measure PC performance using a suite of DirectX 9 3D graphics tests, CPU tests, and 3D feature tests. 3DMark06 tests include all new HDR/SM3.0 graphics tests, SM2.0 graphics tests, AI and physics driven single and multiple cores or processor CPU tests and a collection of comprehensive feature tests to reliably measure next generation gaming performance today. Futuremark's exclusive Online ResultBrowser web service tracks and compares 3DMark06 scores.

In 3DMark06 Professional, the A-DATA RAM running at DDR2-800/4-4-4-12 stock settings performed generally very well but seems to trail the Micron D9GMH based OCZ Reaper HPC ever so slightly running at the same frequencies but with timings at 4-4-3-15. Although not significant enough to make a difference, this trend is very consistent as demonstrated in all four aspects of 3DMark06.
