Patriot PDC22G8000+XBLK PC2-8000 DDR2 Memory Review @ PCStats

Enthusiast calibre RAM usually only comes in one of two forms; high speed memory with lax timings or lower speed memory with tight timings. Making a decision at this crossroads will have a big impact on your PC's performance, and for most of us it's confusing as to which route is the best to follow.

PCSTATS has long been singing the performance praises of low latency memory, but even modules that qualify have their limits. What's needed is more versatile memory, technology infused into DRAM so those little BGA chips run with tight timings at low latency speeds... allowing the holly grail of memory performance: Dual Channel DDR-2 RAM that cranks out the MHz while the timings are kept nice and relaxed.

This pair of Patriot's PDC22G8000+XBLK 1GB DDR-2 memory fits the bill, but these modules are so utterly new, so bleeding edge that you can't have them. Sorry, this is a first glimpse at some very sweet memory which is not quite yet available...
