G.SKILL Ripjaws F3 8GB CL7 1600mhz Memory Kit Review

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.

  1. Only problem with gskill is their availability is poor.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. very good performance. 4GB sticks used to be painfully bad. like this pricing too

  6. 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.

  7. very very sexy, like it.

  8. I need new memory, but 4GB is more than enough. still, gskill make good stuff. always liked their ram.
