GeIL DDR 2 Series Single Channel Kit - memory - 1 GB - DIMM 240-pin - DDR2

GEIL stands for Golden Empire Industries Limited. They use Samsung RAM that they repackage and test for you. There are only three companies in the whole world that make RAM and lots that repackage it. GEIL is one of them.

You can get this type of RAM in 533Mhz form all the way up to 1000MHz form, and it seems excellent.

I'm currently using two of these 1Gb sets and have found that they are both responsive and cool. ...
...packaged and well presented.

The Specifications :

CAS 3-3-3-8
64x8 DDR2 FBGA Chips
240pin, Non-ECC, Un-buffered DDR2 SDRAM DIMM
Aluminum Heat-spreader
6 Layers Ultra Low Noises Shielded PCB

I'm currently using two of these 1Gb sets and have found that they are both responsive and cool. They do not overheat like some RAMs and came well packaged and well presented.

Overview

The specifications show a good fast module and its good that the devices comes with noise shielding. However it must be said that this is the lowest speed of DDR2 available and as such is not the best performing. But for the money its a good price and it doesn't produce much heat at all, its stable and seems to have no easily found problems.

Installation is very easy as with any RAM module and these even come with little heat stickers so you can tell how hot your RAM actually is.

Overall these are nice modules that will outperform DDRI RAM but will get clobbered in performance by the other DDRII speeds available. They are cheap though at under £100.

I've also bought myself some DDRII 667Mhz stuff which is slightly faster but also came with instructions, not sure if my box of the 533MHz was incorrectly packed or not but it didn't have any. Though to be honest anyone who needs an instruction book for installing RAM should go back to playing with those toys with the wooden blocks and the shaped holes for a while.
