Corsair 2GB vs G.Skill 2GB

pham · Jan 13, 2006, 10:11 AM

hi guys, i just placed an order for Corsair 2GB DDR XMS4000PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS3 (MY-094-CS) but they had none in stock and they said the G.Skill 2GB DDR HZ PC4000 (2x1GB) CAS3 Dual Channel Kit (F1-4000USU2-2GBHZ) (MY-008-GS) were the same.
just that ive never heared of "G.SKILL" before now until now?

both have the same CAS Latency : 3-4-4-8 (PC4000) j havent got a clue what that means thou

Gskill is really some good ram, known of it's high clocks.

yeah g.skill is actually much better than Corsair. When it comes to 1gb sticks for overclocking the best are:
OCZ Platinum pc4000. you can get them for about 300 a pair and have been known to go to almost DDR600
the next best are:
g.skill extreme edition F1 pc3200 not sure the code, but the light blue ones. they go for about 200 a pair and are usually good for DDR550+

you can get both from newegg.

the g.skill extreme f1 pc4000 that you mentioned I believe are black... and while they are very good, the light blue pc3200 that I mentioned before have been known to OC farther.
