Just a friendly competition, some forum members have wanted to do this for a while, testing PC cache and memory performance with a few related AIDIA64 benchmarks. As an incentive to get more forum members involved the winner will receive an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 3.0Ghz E8400 in good working order as well as a tube of Arctic Silver 5 Thermo Paste. Runner up will win a Seagate Barracuda 120GB 7200 rpm drive.
*Updated 10/21* The benchmark is has now branched out into two distinctive competitions: Memory Bandwidth AND Memory Latency. Since going for broke on the bandwidth aspect does not always yield the lowest latency times, two independent leaderboards are now in play. There will be prizes awarded to the top two members in each category. I've added the read, write and copy averages to the bandwidth leaderboard so members know exactly where they are in the grand scheme of things. Latency board should be easy to follow. Obviously there are a lot of metrics in play here, so I have highlighted some of the top results/components in bold and/or red, which should incentivize us all to push our systems a little harder.
Memory Bandwidth Leaderboard (r/w/c speeds divided by 3 = ranking)
Memory Latency Leaderboard
The basic objective here is to achieve highest ranked memory read, write, copy and lowest latency scores.
If you have the full version you can just run the AIDA64 Cache and Memory Benchmark, accessed from the tools menu from within the program. Users running in trial mode may have to run the memory tests individually, as in trial mode some values are hidden.
Prerequisites:
CPUz screenshot of your current OC (CPU Tab and Memory Tab)
Please make sure you are running at least v3.00 of AIDA64, otherwise your scores will be invalid as older versions of AIDIA64 don't use the same scoring metrics as the latest releases.
The AIDA64 program can be downloaded here for a 30 day evaluation:
Be aware this is a trial so some functions will be blocked out, if this happens on any of the memory tests, simply re-run the test and you should get good results.

I will start a chart with the top ranking members if we get enough people interested. I'll get this started, please follow the format below for displaying your results:
I recommend using the windows snipping tool to capture your scores:
