2GB DDR Memory Kits Compared

X-bit Labs has an article roundup of 2GB SDRAM memory kits for overclockers.

First of all, we want to say that 1GB DDR SDRAM memory modules (that make up 2GB memory kits) can't match the characteristics of 512MB modules. The popular lower-capacity modules have better overclockability and can work at more aggressive timings, too. But as we've found in our previous reviews, you sometimes don't have a choice as there are a number of applications that require as much as 2GB of system memory. It is not recommended to use four 512MB modules due to the automatically activated 2T Command Rate setting and the considerable worsening of the mainboard's overclockability. So, in some cases 1GB DDR SDRAM modules have no alternative and you have to put up with their not-very-impressive characteristics. [X-bit Labs]

The article tests offerings from Corsair, G. Skill, OCZ, and PQI. A nice read, for any PC enthusiast.
