Part One: Introduction

Technology moves quickly: the relentless march of speed waits for no one but something else changes to; brand loyalty. There as many fans of companies as there are a similar number of opened mined users to whom many factors play an equal part in purchase choice. But the promise of speed and features is a little too much for some and brand loyalty can change in an instant. We have seen this change very recently in the memory sector. A short time ago, SDR overclocking was the prime consideration with Crucial providing the memory others were measured against. Such names as Muskin dominated the overclocking stores and people had their favorites. One thing remained constant, Samsung were relatively overlooked preferring to provide to the OEM market without heavily promoting their products. And so we see the shift. PC2700 seems to always be mentioned in the same breath as Samsung in today's market and rightly so if initial reports are to be believed. Samsung have made an excellent name for themselves by providing some of the most tolerant memory available today, many users are reporting huge overclocks so we decided to check out just how good this memory really is!

If your expecting multicolored heatspreaders and bright lettering think again! Heat spreaders are proving to be nothing but a marketing ploy and Samsung have retained a traditional layout. This is serious memory for serious performance!

A high standard of manufacturing quality was certainly displayed by these sticks kindly sent by Samsung.
