Elite Bastards takes a look at the Patriot PVS22G9200ELK 2GB DDR2 PC2-9200 memory kit
The "2GB versus 4GB of system memory" argument may be quite an old one now, but it's still no less relevant, particularly when confronted with the choice of 2GB of ultra-fast and overclockable RAM for around the same price as 4GB of slower memory with more lax timings. So, which is the better choice? Today, we examine exactly this question, as we take a look at Patriot's PC2-9200 rated 2GB memory kit, with the catchy product name of PVS22G9200ELK.
While most standard DDR2 memory modules are rated at standard modern FSB speeds such at 800MHz, up to 1066MHz, Patriot's offering here is a cut above this, rated at speeds of up to 1150MHz (aka PC-9200) coupled with some pretty tight timings of 5-5-5-12. NVIDIA's EPP (Extended Performance Profile) functionality to easily utilise the best possible settings for your memory on supported motherboards is also available here, with an EPP profile offering a 571MHz (1142MHz effective) clock speed.
