Mushkin’s current XP2-6400 DDR2-800 memory is not only highly overclockable, but also reasonably priced. The high performance of the DDR2 800 modules exceeds the expectations and the reason becomes clear with a look under the heatspreader. Because Mushkin uses the well-known Micron D9GMH memory chips on the tested modules and these memory chips are also used on high-end DDR2-1200 modules. Just the maximum allowed memory voltage for the Mushkin XP2-6400 RAM is a little bit lower with 1.9 Volt up … Continue reading Mushkin XP2-6400 2x1024MB PC2-6400/DDR2-800 (996523) Memory Review

Crucial 2GB Kit DDR2-533/PC2-4200 CT2KIT12864AA53E Memory Review
In the last months there were speculations in many forums regarding the Micron ICs used on the very inexpensive Crucial PC2-4200 DDR2 memory modules (e.g. here in our forum).

However the ECC kit was equipped with Elpida memory chips instead of high overclockable Micron D9GMH ICs. Who order the memory modules in online shops, … Continue reading Crucial 2GB Kit DDR2-533/PC2-4200 CT2KIT12864AA53E Memory Review

It is a pleasure to test the new Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 memory modules, because memory is not the same as memory. Even if the technical data is equal with some other PC2-8500 modules, at least overclocking separates the wheat from the chaff.

Mushkin XP2-8500 2x1024MB PC2-8500/DDR2-1066 (996535) Memory Review
Mushkin shows with their current XP2-8500 DDR2-1066 memory modules that it’s possible to get high performance for low cost. Because ocinside.de was able to overclock an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Socket AM2 CPU to approx. 3000 MHz and the enormously high memory overclocking up to 600 MHz (DDR2-1200) was an important factor for these results. If you’re using a DDR2 motherboard with some overclocking options, you shouldn’t miss this Mushkin XP2-8500 Review. Thanks for the support … Many thanks for … Continue reading Mushkin XP2-8500 2x1024MB PC2-8500/DDR2-1066 (996535) Memory Review

Crucial recently brought new Ballistix PC2-8000 memory modules to the market, which are particularly well suitable to overclock a PC or Mac.

Crucial 10th Anniversary 2GB Kit (2x1024MB) PC2-5300/DDR2-667 Memory Review The company Crucial should be well known by everyone who is interested in PC or Macintosh hardware and already acquired some memory modules.

Crucial Ballistix 1GB Kit (2x512MB) PC2-6400/DDR2-800 Memory Review Not only Intel PCs are using DDR2 modules, in the meanwhile it is also necessary for AMD PCs to look for DDR2 memory modules. Who like to upgrade for example to a current AMD Socket AM2 system, will find only the newer 240-pin DIMM sockets instead of the usual 184-pin sockets on these motherboards. However, in spite of the higher memory bus range you should expect no miracles. The Crucial Ballistix 1GB … Continue reading Crucial Ballistix 1GB Kit DDR2-800/PC2-6400 CL4 BL2KIT6464AA804 Memory Review
G.Skill F1-3200PHU1-512NT 512MB PC3200 Memory Review
This Review of the G.Skill 512MB PC3200 DDR memory primarily shows if high-quality memory modules can reach higher overclocking results and if inexpensive PC-3200 modules satisfy overclockers even with clearly more than 200 MHz (DDR400).

Crucial Ballistix 1GB Kit PC4000 LED BL2KIT6464L505 Memory Review
Memory is an important component of the PC system and with current operating systems e.g. Microsoft Windows XP in combination with current games or DTP applications nowadays 512 MB are by far not enough and should be upgraded to at least 1GB memory. However memory is not like memory and naturally there’re dozens of DDR (double data rate) module types on the market, that the choice isn’t really easy. In order to make the choice somewhat easier, there’s a new … Continue reading Crucial Ballistix 1GB Kit PC4000 LED BL2KIT6464L505 Memory Review
