GeIL Ultra X PC3200 DDR400

GeIL has once again set new levels of value for money. At just over 20p per Megabyte the performance was simply mind-blowing, and while I can't say for certain that this is indicative of every Ultra-X module on the market it certainly bodes well. The inability of this module to run properly at its rated timings under SPD, however, means less experienced users may well get a lower performance than they should unless they're prepared to fish around in their BIOS. Also, its limited headroom at 2-5-2-2 and huge overclocking margin makes it more suited to the hardened overclocker in some respects. Once overclocked, our particular modules threw out the highest memory scores I've ever recorded in these benchmarks, a fact that must surely count for something if overclocking is important to you.
