Though GSkill may seem to be one of those companies that's quite new to the performance scene - with their first real memorable strikes coming in the late days of performance DDR memory, the company has actually been around since 1989. Sporting a history so similar to many of the companies of late, their mission was to provide the best modules possible at a reasonable cost, and to do it in a reasonable time frame. I suppose it was just a matter of time before they managed to hit their stride, to become one of the big players in the heart of the enthusiast so to speak.

On the bench today is one of their new DDR2 kits - one of the last hurrahs of the format, a high density, low latency bundle in an affordable package, if not unfortunately named. Let's just hope that the modules do a little better than your tongue, after it reads off this product name, which must have come from the Foxconn school of nomenclature.

Features & Specifications:

Oddly enough, G.Skill's product pages are devoid of a features panel - perhaps a thing of fortune for the readers who are used to being slowly pelted with marketing information. The specifications are still intact, though - let's take a look.

A Closer Look:

Being memory of more or less the value sort, G.Skill's kit comes with nary an extra - it consists simply of the modules retained in a rigid plastic parcel inside a cardboard carton, with a pair of stickers and a brief manual to accompany them. Given the lack of extras, I would have to say that the rather simple manual is more than enough - anyone buying enthusiast grade memory should have no problems installing it, after all. Of all the things inside the casing, though - the ones of interest should be the heat spreaders stuck to the sticks themselves - let's give them a look, shall we?
