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 →

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). At ocinside.de we’ve already published several reviews of Crucial PC2-8500, PC2-8000, PC2-6400 and PC2-5300 memory modules, whereby we’ve recently also tested a 2GB PC2-4200 ECC kit. 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. The DDR2-1066 memory is available as Ballistix Tracer with integrated LED lighting and as Ballistix without LED’s, so the choice for the additional modding feature is left to the buyer. One thing is certain, the modules would … Continue reading Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2-1066/PC2-8500 2GB Kit BL2KIT12864AL1065 Memory Review →
