GeIL Value Series
70 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews
The GEIL DDR2-800 memory kit generally works well for AM2 and some Intel boards, with several users reporting plug-and-play operation at stock speeds. However, compatibility issues exist with certain Intel 965 chipsets, and one stick arrived dead. The price is considered good, but voltage settings may need adjustment for stable 800MHz operation.
