DH Review: Geil Gaming Series PC2-6400 Quad 4 GB

Read The Review Here
____________________________

Well we all knew it would start happening sooner rather than later with the release of Vista. Matched 4GB Quad Kits. Grace takes a GEIL kit for a test drive today.

This makes GEIL one of the first manufacturers to sell kits which can populate all of your motherboard’s DIMM banks and raise the total RAM capacity to 8GB. We have such a kit for review today, the GB6400C5QC.

nice product reviews.

2x2GB DDR2 Non-ECC kits are available widely now. if i can recall, 3-4 months ago they were much more expensive and not many available to choose from.
G.Skill has a new kit of DDR2-1000 and also reasonable price.

in 2006 DDR2 with ultra-low latencies are best for using in a gaming system, and these memory kits were very expensive (still expensive now, but some of the kits are hard to find now).
but now it has to be 4 GB kits that is more popular for gaming system builders.

great review Grace (when are you and I gonna get it together, really?)

how noticable an upgrade would this be to a 3.4G P4 running 1G DDR2 atm?
is it gonna be significant? it's mostly a gaming comp.

Sorry, I only have eyes for Zardon.


RAM improves the overall responsiveness of the system considerably. You can expect the loading/shutting down times to improve, as well as in-game responsiveness.


However, assuming that you have 2X512MB sticks now, you could get 2x1GB sticks of similar specifications and get to 3GB; this is quite a good upgrade, far more cost efficient and will help you raise money for another upgrade (see: cheap Core 2 Duo and P35 motherboard)
