Memory tends to fall into two different categories, value and performance. Value memory generally sticks to the JDEC standards and has limited performance potential. Performance memory generally looks to certified overclocking speeds. The GeIL 4GB PC2-6400 DDR2 kit tries to offer extra performance through lower latencies but at a cost equivalent to value RAM. Does it really provide much extra performance or is it really just a glorified value memory kit? Find out in my review.

The memory ran fine on my Dell XPS 400
but the BIOS won’t allow any change in the volatage setting so I’m stuck using the SPD Safe mode technology from GeiL
