There was a time when a good kit of memory cost as much as a few weeks salary … how times have changed. With the recent earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan many analysts had predicted that memory prices would rise. While they might still increase by the end of the year, G.Skill are on a selling rampage, offering 2133mhz gaming memory for only £50 inc vat in the UK. Is this the enthusiast upgrade bargain of the year?
G.Skill have been very active in recent months, offering a wide variety of memory configurations for every possible demand. The 2133mhz RipjawsX kit we are reviewing today is not only a CAS 9 product, but it is supplied with a high quality, eye catching heatspreader design.

£50? thats a mad price for 2133mhz memory
The red heatspreader is wicked looking. Dont need memory right now, but this is a great deal. is their 8GB kit under £100 then going on this?
Just ordered some, thats a mega deal.
Wow, they must be losing money at that. the USA price is under $80.
Yeah, cant get a much better deal than this. not sure why its so cheap not like they didnt include a decent headspreader.
4GB is being perseved as the ‘minimum’ now. wonder if all the focus is going on higher density chips.
Excellent. not the usual £50 1333mhz sub standard knock off.
Dont need memory myself, but ill send this out to my friends in works
Too good to miss, ordered some for a new system. always wanted to try memory faster than 1600mhz. ill probably not notice the difference, but at this price its a bonus.
Well i wasn’t expecting to see £50 of 4GB memory at this speed in 2011. Very very nice indeed. wouldn’t normally consider gskill but at this price, worth a shot.
