Final words and conclusion

What we did like:

To begin with, we especially enjoyed the overclocking capabilities and performance of the modules which are both well above average. The facts that the modules ran up to 278MHz without any burn-in, only 2.9V worth of voltage and at 1T command are enough for solidifying the previous claims. The price of the modules is another positive point, as the modules may not be the cheapest kit available but certainly are reasonably priced for 2GB worth of serious RAM.

What we did not like:

The only negative point that we could imagine concerning these modules is that they are unable to run at very tight timings (such as 2/2/2/5) and that they do not react well at high voltages. They are not meant for extreme overclocking or for score benchmarking.

Who we would recommend it to:

To anyone who would like a substantial amount of serious RAM, except extreme overclockers. The modules are reasonably priced and perform to a very high standard.. Nevertheless, the hardcore enthusiasts who like to drain every little bit out of their system are usually drawn to more powerful (and considerably more expensive) products. They are sure to satisfy the users they are aimed at however.

We believe that the TwinX2048-4000PT kit is worthy of our Heavenly Hardware Gold Award. There is not much to keep this kit from rightfully earning it.
