Mushkin 512MB PC4000 Dual Pack (2x256) Memory

Introduction:

In the quest for more bandwidth, memory manufacturers have been producing RAM rated at PC4000 and higher, which translates to speeds in excess of 500MHz DDR! Today we are taking a look at the Mushkin 512MB PC4000 Dual Pack (2x256) that is designed for use on a 250MHz (500MHz DDR) overclocked memory bus.

For the fastest front side bus, Mushkin recommends their PC4000 (obviously), however for the lowest latency at lower speeds Mushkin recommends their PC3200/PC3500 products. This is an important consideration for Intel vs AMD users. Mushkin tests and certifies their PC4000 RAM at DDR500 on Intel 875/865 chipsets, as well as DDR400 on Intel 875/865, VIA KT400, KT600, K8T800 and nVidia nForce2 & nForce3.
