G.SKILL F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK Review - PAGE 1
William Henning - Thursday, June 21st, 2007


Today we are taking a look at a new revision of some value low latency DDR2 memory from G.SKILL.  We haven't really reviewed too many of G.SKILL's products, but we do know that after our previous experience we're favourably inclined to keep an eye on this promising brand.

With DDR3 coming on to the market with latencies such as 9-9-9-24 being a standard at 1333MHz, it is interesting to see latencies as low as the 4-4-3-5 at 800MHz - and the positive effect low latencies have on applications such as WinRAR.

Ok, since we have already reviewed an earlier revision of this memory, there really is not much else to say here in the introduction - other than perhaps mention that G.SKILL  told us that this new revision is a better overclocker. While we were pleased last time with how far the first revision would overclock, it obviously could not match the best high speed memories we've tested... but we were curious as to how much closer the new revision would get to much more expensive modules performance -  so let's get this show on the road!
