A-DATA Launches New DDR2-1066 XPG Gaming Dual-Channel Kits

[malware]

Although DDR2 memory slightly going out of fashion, in favour of DDR3, A-DATA recently said it is releasing new DDR2-1066 memory kits under the company's XPG Gaming DRAM line. New dual-channel kits comprised of two 2 GB or 1 GB DDR2-1066 MHz modules will be made available. Both memory kits will work with CL6-6-6-18 timings at 2.0±0.1 V. Like most high-performance memory products, the new XPG kits will come with a lifetime warrany.

Those timings are horrendous. How can they even call these high-performance?

6-6-6-18 at 2.0V what the hell is this crap?

6-6-6-18 at 2.0V what the hell is this crap?

wtf and its a 2gb kit too? these wouldnt even be that good in 2006 LOL
they must oc to ddr2-1200.. MINIMUM. if not, then why buy them?

 

[Assimilator]

Actual source.

I fail to see how this is newsworthy (particularly since this press release came out nearly a month ago), unless these modules are setting a new standard of sh**tiness for "performance". Hell, it's possible to find generic DDR2-800 that can clock to DDR2-1066 @ 5-5-5-15, why would I want these modules? WTF indeed.

agree, my value rams do better

 

[icon1]

they even call it as their "gaming series" memory kits ... :shadedshu

 

[JATownes]

A-DATA... I think I will stick with Patriot, G-Skill or Crucials. LMAO. 2GB @ 6/6/6/18 2.1v??? XPG Gaming, WTF?? I would take OCZ Platinums over this crap.

 

[ShadowFold]

My 41$ Crucial Ballistix kit does 5-5-5-15 1066 at 2.0v... This is a pretty lame kit honestly.

 

[TheGuruStud]

Glad I wasn't the only one getting ready to bash these haha

 

[cdawall]

these should be elpidia based and clock to 1300 CL6 @stock voltage

 

[Yukikaze]

If they don't clock then WTF....

I have a value 800Mhz OCZ stick of 1Gb that runs 1110Mhz at CL6-6-6-15 at 1.83v, what's this ?

 

[a_ump]

dam you guys have nice clocking ram, my ddr2 800 4x1gb only do 1066@5-5-5-18 2.1v lmfao i thought my sticks were poor, but A-Data just made me all fuzzy inside

 

[Static~Charge]

If this is A-DATA's idea of "high-performance", I'd hate to see the specs for their low-end crap....

 

[JATownes]

i thought my sticks were poor, but A-Data just made me all fuzzy inside

Thanks...I needed that.

 

[Josifek]

My two year old A-Data extreme 800+ kit is better than this cr*p. At least it has micron D9 chips...

 

[my_name_is_earl]

A little too late for this market and horrible timings make this one a must not have. Unless 2gb stick sell for $10 a pop then sure, I'll buy it for client

 

[WarEagleAU]

Yeah, not loving these sticks, though if at stock voltage they hit 1300mhz with those timings, that isnt bad at all.

 

[silkstone]

Damn that memory sucks, i've got some el cheapo $15 1gb kingmax sticks that will run at 1066 5-5-5-12 at 1.9v

 

[h3llb3nd4]

LOLZ
my generic ram has tighter times compared to this!!
