    HEXUS.net - reviews :: High-speed DDR2 memory roundup

    With memory prices going through another low period and Windows Vista more than capable of gobbling up every last byte you care to throw at it, there couldn't be a more appropriate time to take a look at some of the modules available today.

    And so for you, the discerning hardware enthusiast, we have a selection of five 2GB packs, covering the full range of performance options from wallet-friendly DDR2-800 all the way up to DDR2-1250 with a price tag to match.
    Find out more.

    Oh dear. Scan have some stupid prices on their site... They are superb on some things, but awful on memory.

    Plus, I have to whine about Hexus' choice of memory kits. Some people are reporting superb performance from the latest Crucial Ballistix kits for example. I know you wanted to show a variety of different speeds, but comparing 800Mhz modules from one firm to uber-memory (with matching price) by Corsair is only going to produce one result.

    A better review would have compared PC8500 2 gig kits, because they seem to be very very popular and are at the best price (ie anything above is usually lots more expensive).

    Still, I'm always happy to read any Hexus review, so thanks for that

    Nice write up

    Would have liked to see your P5K put to the test, and also some ballistix thrown in there to give those dominators a good seeing to.

    Just had memoryc turn round an RMA on cellshock in 6days.

    your comment re cellshock implying a long rma turnaround by returning to germany is flawed. If returning to manufacturer for both ocz & g-skill that means holland i think if Uk based, can't see that been any different to germany.

    as clunk says pity you missed what are the enthusiasts favourite in terms of performance & value the 8500 ballistix/tracer
