About AIDA64 Extreme Edition

AIDA64 Extreme Edition is a streamlined Windows diagnostic and benchmarking software for home users. AIDA64 Extreme Edition provides a wide range of features to assist in overclocking, hardware error diagnosis, stress testing, and sensor monitoring. It has unique capabilities to assess the performance of the processor, system memory, and disk drives. AIDA64 is compatible with all current 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

AIDA64 implements a set of 64-bit benchmarks to measure how fast the computer performs various data processing tasks and mathematical calculations. Memory and cache benchmarks are available to analyze system RAM bandwidth and latency. Processor benchmarks utilize MMX, 3DNow! and SSE instructions, and scale up to 32 processor cores. For legacy processors all benchmarks are available in 32-bit version as well. AIDA64 Disk Benchmark determines the data transfer speed of hard disk drives, solid-state drives, optical drives, and flash memory based devices.

Usually, AIDA64's FPU benchmarks are the least exciting of all when writing a RAM review. This is because the way results are obtained is usually highly dependent on the tested processor; so much to an extent that the outcome is practically irrelevant to the speed or latencies of the installed memory modules. As you can see in our graphs above, all the results are within a fraction of a percent of each other. Again, each memory product took home at least one honor, with the Patriot Intel Extreme Masters PC3-17000 2x4GB taking the crown in two out of four tests. The Kingston HyperX Predator KHX18C9T2K2/16X 2x8GB barely edged out the other two with one point in SinJulia, and the G.Skill TridentX F3-2400C10D-8GTX 2x4GB had Julia taken -- again, with just a point or two.
