Mushkin has been a top name in performance memory since the concept of “performance memory” was envisaged. My first Mushkin memory was some brilliant quality PC150 SDRAM, and I have had the privilege of testing their memory from time to time ever since. This latest example is their new low-latency PC3200, Mushkin Enhanced Level II, Version 2.
The original Mushkin Level II was based on the now legendary Winbond BH-5 chips. Since Winbond have now pulled out of the DRAM market all together, many enthusiasts thought the days of ultra-low latency memory was gone. Fortunately, the latest Samsung DDR500 wafer scales down to PC3200 speeds amazingly well, being more than capable of the holy grail of RAM timings, CAS 2-2-2-5.
You can pick up Mushkin Enhanced Level 2 V2 memory from www.pc-memory-upgrade.co.uk/ for around the £230. US customers can buy directly from Mushkin
here for $272.
