GeIL really designs their personal PCB for these memory sticks. They do not acquire Samsung, Micron, or whoever's memory sticks, hit on a heat spreader and call it their own like other resellers have done. The design and memory chips are checked by GeIL to make sure consistency and they have Lifetime Warranty.

Benchmarks

All tests were run at default processor speed 2.26 GHz and then overclocked to 2.77 GHz to be able to push memory to its rated speed. This was done using 1:1 and then with 3:4 CPU/Memory Ratio. This effected in memory bus speeds of 133MHz, 177 MHz, 163 MHz, and 217 MHz.

Immediately you can notice benchmark numbers jump significantly when using 3:4 ratios over 1:1. But I did not anticipate bandwidth to rise so well in unison with 3:4 ratios. It’s remarkable what a difference memory bus speed can make.

Now look how close memory running at 434 MHz comes to RDRAM 1066. And here are some images from Sandra Cache and Memory Benchmark.

It appears that this benchmark is privileged more by processor cache than memory but there does appear to be some slight developments over using 1:1 ratio.
