MaxxMem2 PreView is a handy, free program to rate memory performance. It can be downloaded over here.
Team Group's 8GB 2400MHz kit puts up a mid-table performance for Maxxmem 2 bandwidth numbers. Latency performance is again trailing to the higher-speed kits, although Patriot's 2133MHz set, exhibiting a 5% performance deficit, cannot keep pace with the Vulcan modules.
Great kit and super price. Memory prices fluctuate all the time and I have seen some good deals on various etailers from time to time.
Not so sure on the gold colour, only ASUS boards would suit that. good memory though, my friend has their kits and they are very well made.
As I am aware, there are several colors to choose from.
Team Group is certainly getting lots of attentions right now.
Their Xtreem series broke Super Pi world record couple days ago.
