G.Skill 4GB Ripjaws X 2133 Mhz XMD
(F3-17000CL9D-4GBXMD) Review

A While ago, I did a review of the similar, G.Skill 4GB Ripjaws X 1600 Mhz. But this review is about its big daddy, the 2133Mhz kit. Rated at the same voltage, these kits do a blistering 2133Mhz at a low low CAS latency of 9. So yes, these Ripjaws are about speed.

RAM - Its one of the most important components of any system. Intel released Sandy Bridge, their new line of Intel Core CPU's to the public a few short months ago. A blazing fast quad core CPU with HT like the Core i7 2600K is the King of the Hill.

You need some blazing fast RAM to go with that CPU.. Why?.. Well, you wouldn't want to limit your 2600K which can even run at 5Ghz 24x7 with some sorry excuse for RAM do you?

As you may already know or have read, the i7's have an Integrated Memory Controller, which has finally released the full potential of DDR3 and taken full advantage of it.

This is possibly the best RAM available in the market today. So lets take a deeper look at it.
