Advantages: good value for money Disadvantages: cheap packaging
...well when i bought my new rig 5 months ago i spent a small fortune on the graphics card so started looking for some good priced and branded ram with good timings
i stumbled upon the geil ram and it looked perfect
i purchased the GeIL Value Dual Channel 2 GB DDR SDRAM kit and i now run itin my new box on an asus a8r-mvp motherboard with a 3.5 64 bit chip in it.
my rig is mainly used for gaming hence the need for a good graphics card and good ram
this ram has performed very well in both dual and single channel mode
currently i am running it in dual channel mode and combined with the rest of the pc i can run battlefiled 2 at max settings with no lag and still achieve 90 fps
overall for the money you cannot go wrong with this ram
the heatsinks on it look good and do work well....
