BIOS: Technology Means Business

Mushkin’s Extreme Performance line promises the highest performing modules on the planet for extreme users.

The company’s Extreme Performance Black Series (XP) line of modules delivers superlative performance for the hardcore PC enthusiast, says the company. The new 2GB XP2-5300 Extreme Performance DDR2 Dual Pack is the latest DDR2 memory kit from Mushkin. As such, it comes with lots of improvements over its older models.

Whether you are looking for low latencies to pull the highest frame-rates from the most challenging games or overclocking your machine well past industry standards - the Mushkin Extreme Performance Black could very well be your module!

The module comes with a new heatspreader design and also features better thermal tape. Both of these new features are designed to improve thermal dissipation. This is important as these modules are meant to run at higher than normal voltages, and will therefore run much hotter than normal.

While the XP2-5300 Extreme Performance DDR2 Dual Pack is also available as a 1GB memory kit, you should really go for the 2GB kit. With games like F.E.A.R. requiring as much memory as you can spare, 2GB is quickly becoming the standard for hardcore gamers. Even Photoshop users will appreciate the advantage of having 2GB of memory.

By using latencies of 3-3-3-10 Mushkin is able to fill the gap between higher latency DDR2 and the low latency performance PC end-users desire. Low latency is beneficial today for improved system and gaming performance.

Mushkin’s Xtreme Performance memory series represents its fastest product group, offering both our highest speed/frequencies, but also our most overclockable parts.

Power users and Gamers will be provided with one of the best low-latency production modules currently available. Overclockers should be similarly happy with the headroom these parts provide.

All Mushkin Extreme Performance memory modules come with an installed heat spreader to eliminate localised hotspots, further enhancing lifetime and overclockability. Mushkin modules are tested and carry a limited lifetime warranty upon product registration.
