G SKILL RipjawsX F3-17066 CL7D 2133mhz (Sandybridge) Review

This version of the script has been thoroughly tested on Adobe Photoshop CS5 and CS4 and is compatible with Photoshop 7. It is important to document however that different versions of Photoshop give different end results. Adobe have been fine tuning the program over the years and enhancing specific filters and algorithms for better performance (some filters were rewritten during the CS2 time period). This means ultimately that comparing times with users running other versions of Photoshop is not going to give consistent results.

All results were gained from Adobe Photoshop CS5 64bit exe on Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and are marked in seconds. Lower times are better.

The high memory speeds really help with Photoshop performance reducing the overall script time by around 7 seconds by moving from 1333mhz to 2133mhz. By increasing the speeds to 2336mhz another 1 second is reduced from the overall time, nothing significant.
