Introduction:

GeIL has been around in the US for almost a year now supplying some of the fastest memory in the market. As new chipsets come out the company always seems to produce even faster memory before most of the other manufacturers do. In the past we have had great luck overclocking memory from GeIL. The modules have generally held up well under high voltages and extreme speeds. For awhile, they produced some of the fastest memory we have ever tested.

Today we have the opportunity to take a look at some the company's newer memory modules, the Golden Dragon PC3700 dual channel kit. This memory is rated to run at 466MHz DDR and is specially tested for systems that utilize dual channel configurations such as the NVIDIA nForce 2 chipset, and the Intel 865/875 chipsets. These modules also feature Wafer Level Chip Scale Packaging (WLCSP) as opposed to TSOP or BGA you might be used to seeing. So read on and find out if this memory is worth your money.
