Ultra Dual Channel 2×512MB PC4000 DDR 500MHz

If you are looking for all the extras you can find in your memory, these will not disappoint, being designed for use in a dual channel memory setup, as well as being able to be used at 500MHz.

Cranking your computer to the next level is easy with this good value pair of memory modules designed specifically with overclocking in mind.

There are two modules, each is 512MB, they both come with aluminium heat spreaders which do just as they say and spread the heat out. This allows the memory to run cooler, avoiding possible damage from too high temperatures.

They are designed as a pair for dual channel. What dual channel does is it pairs up memory modules is adjacent slots. When the modules are designed as a pair and are on a dual channel motherboard they can give up to a 15% increase in speed over what they would give is they were just two sticks on a normal motherboard.

This memory boasts a latency of 3-4-4-8 at 500MHz speeds, and 2-3-3-7-T1 at 400MHz. These are very fast speeds and those running computers at 400MHz FSB will certainly benefit from the lower latency they offer at that speed.

So if you are looking for very pretty memory modules that offer a good performance edge, these should do nicely. Oh, they come in a fancy little wooden case too.
