SiSoftware Sandra 2003 Memory
Although a synthetic benchmark, it's a popular one, freely available if you wish to make comparison benchmarks. We will be testing the memory speeds only.
Pentium 4 @ 12x200, 2-3-3-5 Timings

Pentium 4 @ 12x250, 2.5-4-3-6 Timings

At both 200FSB, and 250FSB, the Gold PC4000 trails slightly against the TWINX. The gap isn't that big, and we'll see later on if this difference is reflected in real-world benchmarks.

PC Mark 2002 - Pentium 4 @ 12x250, 2.5-4-3-6 Timings

The Gold continues to trail the TWINX by a small margin in the second synthetic benchmark today. Results are repeatable, and in each case, the Gold just can't catch up.
