G.Skill RipjawsX 4GB DDR3-2133mhz Review @ £50 inc vat

SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software.

Sandra is a (girl) name of Greek origin that means “defender”, “helper of mankind”. We think that’s quite fitting.

It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what’s really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCI Express), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.

Native ports for all major operating systems are available:

  • Windows XP, 2003/R2, Vista, 7, 2008/R2 (x86)
  • Windows XP, 2003/R2, Vista, 7, 2008/R2 (x64)
  • Windows 2003/R2, 2008/R2* (IA64)
  • Windows Mobile 5.x (ARM CE 5.01)
  • Windows Mobile 6.x (ARM CE 5.02)

All major technologies are supported and taken advantage of:

  • SMP – Multi-Processor
  • MC – Multi-Core
  • SMT/HT – Hyper-Threading
  • MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, FMA – Multi-Media instructions
  • GPGPU, DirectX, OpenGL – Graphics
  • NUMA – Non-Uniform Memory Access
  • AMD64/EM64T/x64 – 64-bit extensions to x86
  • IA64 – Intel* Itanium 64-bit

Sandra highlights significant increases over the 1333mhz and 1600mhz memory on test with the G.Skill RipjawsX product scoring 27.37 GB/s.

  5. Yeah, cant get a much better deal than this. not sure why its so cheap not like they didnt include a decent headspreader.

    4GB is being perseved as the ‘minimum’ now. wonder if all the focus is going on higher density chips.

  7. Too good to miss, ordered some for a new system. always wanted to try memory faster than 1600mhz. ill probably not notice the difference, but at this price its a bonus.

  8. Well i wasn’t expecting to see £50 of 4GB memory at this speed in 2011. Very very nice indeed. wouldn’t normally consider gskill but at this price, worth a shot.
