The G.Skill Pi Series goes a completely different route, than other high-end memory today. Instead of pushing the envelope on voltage, it gives you some crazy performance at default or close to default DDR2 voltage.

Although many companies have started to focus their research and development on DDR3 modules many months ago, some have released high performance DDR2 in the past few weeks. One of the most impressive sets are the new Pi series from G.Skill which can operate at 1100MHz at only 1.9Vdimm. By the end of the review will we know if they are worth the money.

The G.Skill DDR3-1600 Pi Series memory modules have a rather funky looking heatspreader, which upon closer inspection impressed me from a design and engineering perspective. Each module is protected by an aluminum heatspreader with what looks like the spiral binding from a notebook on top. These loops are similar to what many other manufacturers implement, except they have a bit of three dimensional appeal to them.

The G.Skill PC2-8500 4GB PI Memory is another strong performing dual channel memory kit. Stability is top notch and the kit is very reliable under pressure. At full load, the memory keeps its composure and pumps out the bandwidth. Thanks to the new spreaders, it was only slightly warm to the touch and looks pretty sweet. It's also very nice to see that the heat spreaders haven't added much extra weight to the modules.

There are several performance memory companies out there, some more well known than others. Perhaps one of the lesser known brands when compared to the likes of Corsair or OCZ, is G.Skill. In the past they have put together some of the best overclocking kits around and hopefully the one I have with me today will be no exception.

G.Skill has once again been gracious in sending us one of their more extreme memory kits. The G.Skill DDR3-1600 2x1GB Dual Channel Memory Kit is aimed at offering the more serious enthusiast some very capable memory that will be able to keep up with the most serious of overclocked processors and still be quite capable when even faster processors arrive. You read correct. Processors will undoubtedly continue to increase in frequency and will soon surpass the 1333MHz Front Side Bus. Most DDR3 kits to reach the shelves thus far are 1066MHz and higher. This means Core 2 Duo users with the 1066 or 1333 FSB processors finally have memory modules to match. As you'll see, 1600MHz DDR3 has a lot to offer faster cores.

PC system memory is always getting faster and faster, especially with the introduction of the DDR3 memory standard. JEDEC has ratified it, Intel P35 and X38 chipsets are supporting it and we are now seeing it come from all the major players. We have seen Mushkin, OCZ, Corsair and Kingston all producing memory based on DDR3 technology, but we haven't seen the last of DDR2 just yet. Today we are going to test Both DDR2 and DDR3 from G.Skill, a 1000 MHz DDR2 4GB kit and 1600 MHz DDR3 2GB kit. How will they fair? We will pit the DDR3 against our just recently tested OCZ memory and the DDR2 against our Geil memory which has broken over 1200 MHz.

G.Skill, great skill in memory world! Although it is our first contact with G.Skill, the name sounds very familiar and certainly known by many. Their mission is to provide superior memory products and satisfactory services in order to keep pace with the customers growing needs, and help customers in adding value to their products. At G.Skill, top priority is the quality by each product to follow strict procedures. Their wide ranges of memory products are hard to keep up, and they have more DDR2 ram solutions you can think of. G.Skill's high performance memory is gaining a reputation as some of the most exciting and desirable high-end memory on the market today.

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. Is this $500 memory kit the solution to a smooth Windows Vista experience?

G.Skill has launched the new F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK 2048MB DDR2-800 memory kit, which already represents a nice eye-catcher with the packing. Because the two 1GB memory modules with the azure heat spreader are delivered
in a wooden box and are thus optimally protected against possible damages. But let us see if a complex packing help us to get higher overclocking results...

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. These modules come for about half the price of the original memory and offer rock stable performance for your memory hungry applications...

Today we are looking at the F1-4000BIU1-1GBHV 2-gig memory kit, this kit aims to deliver 500 MHz with 3,3,2,8 timings and I believe it would, going on the current buzz in the community. I think these should be up to scratch, but with lower timings than the Corsair we recently looked at, I do not believe there is going to be much clocking. Here at Xtreme we do not like loosening the timings on High performance kits, as once you do that you may as well get the kit with looser timings and not the one we are reviewing and save a few pence/cents. Therefore, it will be interesting to see what we can get out of them with the out of factory 3,3,2,8 timings...
