Introduction

Our initial experience with G.SKILL has shown that this company is capable of producing high speed, high performance DDR modules to cater for the enthusiast market.

 

When we first reviewed their Extreme Samsung TCCD PC4400 1Gb Kit, we were impressed by the performance and overclockability it offered over its rated speed of PC4400 (DDR550) and at the same time the extreme latency it allowed at PC3200.

 

Today we will be reviewing another product from their Extreme Series. Promising more speed than their previous offering, this kit is surely to please overclockers out there. Introducing, G. SKILL’s PC4800 (DDR600) offering, the Extreme Series PC4800 512Mb Kit.
