G.Skill F2-4200PHU1-512SA Expert Reviews

We've got two G.Skill kits on the table today, a 1000MHz DDR2 and 1600MHz DDR3 kit. Read on to see how they stack up.

While DDR3 is making its way to the Intel platform at record pace, DDR2 simply won't die anytime soon, why is this? AMD still have its foot in the door on this technology, and due to its integrated memory controller on its CPU line, it's hard to change me...

The G.SKILL F2-6400CL6D-4GBMQ are one of the first 2x 2 GB DDR2 memory kits that let you run high frequencies, DDR2-800 in this case. In our review we will point out the difficulties you will experience when installing 4 GB of memory on 32-bit platforms....

4 GB, High clock speed, Runs fine at default voltage of 1.8V, Flexible timings, can run CL5 and CL4 at lower clocks, Good performance, Fair price

Slow default timings, Works best only on 64-bit OS with 64-bit applications, Limited voltage scaling

These modules are ahead of their time. The biggest limitation to their use are not the modules themselves, but the environment of most users. When running on 32-bit Windows you will not be able to utilize all 4 GB. When running on 64-bit Windows you may n...

The F2-4200PHU2-1GBNT are G.SKILL's latest budget DDR2 memory kit. Even though they lack heatspreaders they offer excellent overclocking. Our sample would go from the advertised DDR2-4200 up to a blazing DDR2-5800. What makes this kit even more attractive...

Excellent bargain price, Overclocks far beyond advertised speeds, Timings can be tightened a lot

No heatspreaders (purely cosmetical issue), Needs high voltage to perform best

What makes this memory stand out in the crowd is its awesome price which is pretty much the best price you can find for a brand-name DDR2 memory. For this price you get a rock stable memory kit which offers a lot of overclocking headroom. Actually so much...

A few weeks ago I got me a new notebook from Lenovo, the Thinkpad X60s. Soon I realized that the default memory configuration of 512 MB is not enough. Since the official memory upgrades are rather expensive I thought I'd give G.SKILL notebook memory a try...

Excellent price, Rock stable, Lifetime Warranty

Does not benefit from Dual-Channel, Only 533 MHz

First of all let me say that going from 512 MB to 1024 MB is a must when you want to do some serious work. Windows feels a lot snappier, especially when working with large documents or many applications. Why would you buy a notebook with a high-end CPU on...
