OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 XTC Platinum 2GB [Review, overclockersonline]
The performance of the OCZ EL Platinum XTC modules is very good for
the frequencies that it was able to run at. Not only are the primary timings
of 3-3-3-8 very impressive at these speeds but the secondary timings were
quite tight providing some very exciting SuperPi times and synthetic
bandwidth numbers. Benchmarkers and gamers alike will definitely want to
check these modules out when shopping for high performance 2GB memory kits. Fri, 31 Mar, 2006 | 3 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
GeIL Ultra Platinum PC4000 1GB DDR1 Memory Kit Review [Review, hardwarelogic]
Today HardwareLogic takes a break from the 2GB memory craze to
bring you an "Old School" overclocking kit. GeIL may not be a household
name in the US, but it is a company well known among enthusiasts. While
DDR1 is walking its "Green Mile", 1GB DDR1 kits have been relegated to
those who can't afford a 2GB kit, or those who still value a great
overclock over memory capacity. The GeIL Ultra Platinum PC4000 1GB DDR1
Memory Kit definitely fits in the latter category. With a default clock
speed of PC4000 (DDR500), a CAS ltency of 2.5, and voltages of up to
3.1V, the GeIL Ultra Platinum kit looks to be an overclockers dream. Sun, 26 Mar, 2006 | 2 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Crucial Ballistix Tracers DDR 500 (PC4000) 2GB Memory Kit Review [Review, hardwarelogic]
Color me impressed. Not only will these sticks ensure a smooth computing experience in RAM intensive applications, but they've proven to be very flexible as well. It's no small 'feat' for a 2GB kit to fill the shoes of tight timed kits half the size (pun intended), but Crucial has managed to do just that. Running my testbed's 4400+ X2 at stock speed, the Ballistix Tracers held impressive 2-2-2-5 latencies without touching the voltage. A slight bump to 2.9V had my processor happily chugging away at 2.4GHz emulating a 4800+ X2, with latencies still considered tight at 2.5-2-2-6. When increased past the rated DDR500 spec, the Tracers had no trouble holding steady at a frequency of 260MHz, putting my processor at 2.6GHz. For those that have long since gone cross-eyed keeping up with AMD and Intel's nomenclature, that's basically an FX-60 minus the unlocked multiplier!

G.SKILL Extreme Series DDR 400 (PC 3200) 2GB Memory Kit [Review, hardwarelogic]
Overall I found this kit to be a great value. The G.SKILL F1-3200BIU2-2GBHX was everything I had read about and hoped it would be. While not quite as versatile as the OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum kit we tested awhile back, it was definitely very close. The choice of 2-3-2-5 at DDR400 or DDR514 at 3-4-4-8 with a very modest voltage boost should make it a good choice for a fairly wide range of consumers.

G.SKILL Extreme Series DDR 400 (PC 3200) 2GB Memory Kit [Review, hardwarelogic]
Another day, another high quality 2 GB memory kit. Today we
look at the latest from G.Skill, the F1-3200BIU2-2GBHX. Sporting DDR400
speeds with timings of 2-3-2-5-1T, the 2GBHX kit has earned quite a
reputation for its performance as well as its versatility. Thu, 09 Mar, 2006 | 24 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
mushkin eXtreme Performance 2GB DDR500 memory kit Review [Review, hardwarelogic]
Today HardwareLogic contiues our series of DDR1 2GB memory kits with a look at Mushkin's DDR500 (PC4000) Extreme Performance offering. Sporting timings of 3-4-3-8-1T at 2.8V, the Mushkin Extreme Performance DDR500 seems to be yet another in an ever growing list of high quality 2GB kits to hit the market.
Mushkin may not get the publicity of Corsair or OCZ, but they have developed a diehard and steadily growing fan base by releasing one high quality memory kit after another. Mushkin is also unique for a completely different reason, they are actually owned and operated by their employees, something you don't see every day, especially from a company this large.

Corsair DDR1 2GB Memory Roundup [Review, legitreviews]
Starting with the TWINX2048-3200C2 and its tight timings of 2-3-3-6 at DDR
400, then on to the TWINX2048-3500LLPRO and its 2-3-2-6 timings at DDR438, and
finally onto Corsair's newest kit, the TWINX2048-4000PT that promises DDR500 at
3-4-4-8. We'll look at each kit individually, making sure to explain the
benefits and drawbacks of each as well as explain what type of user and system
they might fit best. Then we'll benchmark each kit at its rated speed and
timings, and finally overclock them to squeeze every last bit of performance
from them.... Mon, 27 Feb, 2006 | 56 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Corsair TWINX2048-4000PT 2GB memory kit review [Review, hardwarelogic]
While not as versatile as some other kits, notably the Corsair TWINX2048-3500LLPRO, the TWINX2048-4000PT showed itself to be a damn fine kit. Though I was a tad disappointed initially to not be able to run CAS 2 (the best I could get was 2.5), I was mightily impressed all during my testing as this kit hit DDR484 at CAS 2.5, and DDR560 at CAS 3....well beyond its rated speed of DDR500. While the TWINX2048-4000PT is not a kit I'd recommend for those who do not overclock, I think it should definitely be on the short list of those who want to get every ounce of performance out of their system without the aid of a memory divider or insane voltages. There simply are not many kits that will scale all the way to DDR560, and when you consider the price, the lifetime warranty, and RAM Guy support forums, the TWINX2048-4000PT is a great choice.

Crucial Ballistix PC4000 DDR RAM Review [Review, PCStats]
On the test block today is a 1GB set of dual channel DDR from Crucial. Sold under the Crucial Ballistix name, this pair of 512MB PC4000 DDR modules have been well received by the enthusiast community. The 184 pin (unbuffered, non ECC) DDR DIMMs are dual channel compatible and have a default rated speed of 250 MHz, or PC4000. Default timings are very conservative at 3-4-4-8. To reach an overclocked speed of 250 MHz, the memory is rated for use with voltages as high as 2.8V. Mon, 27 Feb, 2006 | 10 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
US Modular Cold Fusion PC-4000 DDR Review [Review, linkforcecorner]
In need of some new PC4000 memory? US Modular might have just what your
looking for, a good kit of 2x 512mb of memory. These sticks have decent
timings and fairly low voltage to go with it. Not a bad set of memory at
all if all you need is PC4000 speeds, perfect for a gaming rig and a bit
of overclocking. Mon, 20 Feb, 2006 | 4 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Interview with John Beekley of Corsair Memory [Interview, legitreviews]
LR: Let's talk about the future of computer memory in 2006. It looks like we
are going to see DDR3 and FB-DIMM's enter into the market space this year.
Which should enthusiasts be more interested in?
John: I think that 2006 will be all about DDR2, actually. FBDIMM is a server
technology, and will have no impact on the enthusiast in the one-to-two year
future. And DDR3 in volume is a long way off, except in graphic applications.
The most interesting memory-related events in 2006 for the enthusiast will be
[1] the launch of DDR2 Athlons, and the impact on AMD's current reign as
performance champion, and [2] the launch of more games and operating system
revisions that require 2 GBytes of memory for optimal performance... Thu, 16 Feb, 2006 | 4 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

The performance of the Mushkin XP2-5300 3-3-3-10 modules was found to be on
par with other brands that used Micron Rev A (Fat Body) IC's at the same
timings. This is great news for enthusiasts and gamers because we now have a
replacement for the no longer available Micron Rev A IC's... Mon, 13 Feb, 2006 | 10 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

requirement makes this kit useable on most any motherboard. Mon, 06 Feb, 2006 | 52 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Corsair 2GB XMS2 Review [Review, HardwareHell]
The memory timings were the strangest part of the whole review. I could not
overclock much at all with relaxed timings. I was able to boot into Windows
with 5-5-5-15 at 255 FSB, but it wasn’t stable and would end up with a BSOD
every time. 5-5-5-12 resulted in a black screen. Yet slightly better
performance was shown with the relaxed timings of 5-5-5-15 over 5-5-5-12. Sat, 28 Jan, 2006 | 9 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

OCZ PC2-5400 EL Gold Review [Review, linkforcecorner]
OCZ?s line of gaming enthusiast memory is full of products that will
enhance your gaming experience. Today we look at their Enhanced Latency
(EL) Gold Series 1 gigabyte (2x512) dual channel set. It's a very nice
set of memory for a gamer and a light overclocker. With a price at
around 100bucks it's hard to beat. 4x 512mb of this stuff would make for
a very nice gaming rig and still would allow for some overclocking. Tue, 24 Jan, 2006 | 6 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
2GB Memory Kits : 1GB vs. 2GB [Review, tbreak]
Just a couple of years back, a system with 512MB RAM was almost considered high-end in the
memory specifications department. We now have that much RAM available in graphics cards. Even
1GB barely seems to cut it with demanding games, multimedia encoding and running multiple
applications at the same time. Keeping that in mind, we take a look at three 2GB memory kits-
by Corsair, OCZ and TwinMOS and find out which one we like best. Wed, 04 Jan, 2006 | 94 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
