Default Mushkin HP2-8500 2GB Memory Kit Review


Although I've heard that Denver is an awesome place, there are very few things associated with Denver that I like. I hate the Denver Broncos (I'm a Steelers fan), I hate Coors beer, and the Colorado Rockies really let me down: now I have to hear all about the Red Sux from Paul until at least next April.

Now that I've finished my anti-Denver rant, let me introduce you to Mushkin, the enthusiast memory maker based in... you guessed it, Denver, CO.

Mushkin is a brand that gets too little credit in my eyes. This was the brand I used for my last build, and their DDR400 kit was simply great. No suprise this kit keeps up the standard. Great writeup, Rich..I may have to change my mind about those Ballistix I've been eyeing.

Nice review, I don't dig the blue color all that much though.

eh, I'm more of a functionality fan than an aesthetic fan, and this kit was simply awesome.....especially when you look at the price and performance....a sub $100 2 GB kit that exceeds DDR2-1200 is fantastic.

Consider myself also more of a functionality fan than an aesthetic fan, but I had to find something to whine about. :P
