Nice review man, that's a nice kit there, especially for that price, that's not that bad at all.

Excellent price, but for the Extreme Edition it claims to be, I dont see anything Extreme about it, performance/OC wise.

indeed it may be a bit of an exaggeration, though it's definitely an "extreme edition" in it's price range

yeah, but it's A-Data, do they really have anything "extreme" that compares with companies like Corsair?

edit: that was meant towards wareagle

that pictures tells us nothing other than you have 2 sticks of A-Data memory. and they're not installed in matching slots.

edit: granted, we could just look at your system specs

Well they do have the on Vitestas that had Micron D9s in them and they clocked like a dream. Im sure they are still out there with the chips...

The price is nice and extreme, but it has to be more than just price. Im just wondering what Ics they use.

Our Adata is better than this kit. Micron controller and the price was lower (2gb kits). They went discontinued at @@#egg because the price was $30 per 2gb I got only one set and later you know well hellspawn where I found the other kit.


I will kill you with my new shotgun this Friday so see you at the lanparty pal!!!

I remember the 2 X1GB Kits were 49.99 i bought 2 kits them sold them. Was hoping to buy the 2 x2GB balistik tracers with red LEDs but were 150.00 back then. So bought theses instead for 79.99 wasnt going to spend 70.00 for just the leds.

And as for the lanparty this friday ,in COD4 i got my Dragunov waiting for you.
