G.Skill Sniper DDR3 8GB 1600mhz 1.25v (SR2) Memory 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.

We didn't include the 1700mhz results in this test as the CPU overclock will have a huge effect on the results, negating the memory changes. What we can ascertain however is that the memory speed has a small effect on the final result, reducing the script time by a couple of seconds overall.
