A-Data Vitesta 2GB Extreme DDR2-800 Review

DDR2 memory prices are falling, partly due to the new wave of DDR3 memory that the industry wants to push down our throats.  Alot of different memory modules can be purchased rather inexpensively, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for bland performance.

A-Data’s Vitesta Extreme Edition DDR2-800 Memory is a very capable dual-channel set.  It supports fast 4-4-4-12 timings up to 1000 MHz, and can even be pushed beyond.  This set can also reach the speeds that DDR3 is capable of, so this memory kit should last until you are forced to upgrade to the new memory architecture.

The Vitesta memory is priced similarly as other DDR2-800 modules, but offers faster timings and better overclocks, which makes this an extreme value for anyone looking to fill those empty slots on their motherboard.
