Performance memory used to be a luxury often associated with the wealthier enthusiast user base. This year however, you are now able to buy extremely fast memory kits without causing too much damage to your bank account.
Today KitGuru is looking at the new G.Skill Ripjaws F3 8GB memory kit (F3-12800CL7D-8GBRH 2x4GB) which is specifically designed for Core i5/i7 systems, running at 1600mhz with tight CL7 latencies. If you want a high level of futureproofing then an 8GB kit is certainly a step in the right direction.

Only problem with gskill is their availability is poor.
This raises a good point. generally CL7 kits are much better quality than the CL9 counterparts which are cheaper. CL9 also have lower production costs.
GSKILL are small but they know the enthusiast audience demands very well. This looks to be a fantastic kit. well worth looking at in the new year for a new system
I still have a 2GB GSKILL kit that I bought years ago and I think this company are much better than OCZ or any of the others for performance memory.
very good performance. 4GB sticks used to be painfully bad. like this pricing too
G.Skill has good price/performance value there. I got their Trident kit last year. It’s oced like a dream and price is good too.
very very sexy, like it.
I need new memory, but 4GB is more than enough. still, gskill make good stuff. always liked their ram.
