The test subject of this review is the Super Talent T1000UX2G5 - a 2GB kit with a matched pair of 1000MHz DDR2 memory modules. Super Talent isn't as well known as some of the more popular memory brands but they've been around for a while and have a pretty solid lineup of memory modules. This company is headquartered in San Jose, California and manufactures all its memory modules in the U.S. Super Talent holds over 100 patents on DRAM and Flash module design and manufacturing processes and all their memory modules feature a lifetime warranty.

With Microsoft's Vista operating system and newer games like Supreme Commander sucking up system resources, 2GB of system memory is no longer a luxury, it's is fast becoming a necessity. However, not any 2GB kits will do the job, save for those running systems from Dell, Gateway, etc. For them, they'll probably never know the difference or benefits of a quality memory kit. But for those who pride themselves on benchmarking and fine tuning their systems to the cutting edge, only high octane components will do.

The Super Talent T1000UX2G5 2GB PC2-8000 DDR2 Memory Kit performs great at its advertised speed of 1000MHz and fairly relaxed timings. Using more aggressive timings (4-4-4-12) allowed this memory to operated error-free up to 1075MHz, and changing the timings back to the default 5-5-5-15 allowed the memory to run stably at 1200MHz.

Supertalent is a relatively unknown name in memory, but the firm is aiming to make a big splash with its new line of enthusiast memory modules. First out of the block is what the Silicon Valley boys claim is a matched memory set amongst the fastest available on DDR2. The 1GB modules (making a 2GB dual-channel kit, part number T1000UX2G5) are rated to 1000MHz at 5-5-5-15, or 800MHz at tighter 4-3-4-8 timings. Intel chips will run a memory divider that is happy at 800MHz and 1067MHz, but getting to 1000 requires a CPU overclock in most cases - so you'll need decent cooling, as well as decent memory. We wanted to find out how the memory performed at each of these different levels, and also whether or not it would overclock up to 1067MHz without having to change the CPU frequency. Read on...
