This version of the script has been thoroughly tested on Adobe Photoshop CS5 and CS4 and is compatible with Photoshop 7. It is important to document however that different versions of Photoshop give different end results. Adobe have been fine tuning the program over the years and enhancing specific filters and algorithms for better performance (some filters were rewritten during the CS2 time period). This means ultimately that comparing times with users running other versions of Photoshop is not going to give consistent results.
All results were gained from Adobe Photoshop CS5 64bit exe on Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and are marked in seconds. Lower times are better.

Memory bandwidth has a reasonable impact on Photoshop CS5 performance, although the differences would be hard to see under real world circumstances. We recorded a time of 454.8 seconds at the overclocked 1866mhz 10-10-10 settings.
8GB of performance memory for under £60? can the prices get much better before they go up? I think not.
How long are GSKILL going? have they decent warranty terms in UK? ive always stuck with corsair
Anyone reading this should get some memory NOW, before it rises. and it will soon, trust me
I own GSKILL memory already and its been faultless. I havent tried overclocking mine, but I dont push my system to the limit. happy with the reference speeds
Nothing wrong with gskill, they have some great price deals in the UK right now. worth a purchase. I only have shitty 1333mhz and I need to move up, but im goign to wait until i get a new system. might get 8gb of 2133mhz
Going to get some for my boyfriend for his birthday. thanks
Another great one from the guys. thanks for the r eview
It is worth pointing out to people who dont know that most of the memory on these chips are actually made for companies like gskill and shared with other clients.
Nice review. I have owned three gskill kits for years and none of them have a single issue. Good to see the good price with their product.
I have these fantastic modules running as this article suggested – 1866 Mhz with timings of 9/9/9/28 T1 @1.65v .. Best RAM I’ve ever owned, super fast and 100% stable. I’ve tried many different performance RAM brands (Corsair, OCZ, ect…) And nothing comes close in the Power>Price ratio. G.Skill all the way from now on 🙂
