    There is an error on the temp and scaling page

    Graphics cards
    G.Skill F3-12800CL7D (1.6GHz) Crucial BL12864BE2009 (2GHz)
    Ambient temperature 22°C 23.5°C
    Temp after 30m test 36°C 39°C
    Ambient-to-load delta 14°C 15.5°C

    and DDR3 is still not worth the money

    Re: G.SKILL vs. Crucial: high-speed DDR showdown

    Any chance of showing the real-world performance difference between PC6400 DDR2 (fifty quid for four gigs) and PCTwelvty-bajillion DDR3 (4 billion pounds for a couple of K)?

    I mean really - what's the difference in, say, Crysis, between something running 800MHz RAM and something running 1600MHz RAM? Anything at all?

    check out tomshardware, it showed that theres no difference in gaming with ddr2 6400, 8500 vs ddr3 10667 and 12800.

    Like 1-2 fps, although it also shows rendering and other multitasking ones there wasn't a huge difference either.

    Here's a link for you to look at

    I've always prefered G.skill myself. There is hardly any difference between the two though.
