Geil RAM. Any Good?

Hi

A few of you might have read my earlier topics on differant types of RAM and which is good and bad. Well I still havn't found a suitable revision to match my current 512Mb Corsair XMS PC3200 C2PT yet neither have I found a cheap enough alternative 1Gb option. Until perhaps now. Geil are within my budget however, I want to know before I buy if they have got a revision system like corsair and if they do how it works. The Corsair one is a real pain when you are trying to match cards.

I know you lot probs recomend buying RAM in pairs every time you want a bit extra. Great world if you can afford to buy into it but I can't. After this initial outlay I want to be able to add another 512 to the 1Gb I will be buying without any hassle.

I am aware that the Geil 1GB DDR PC3200 400MHz DDR (Cas 3 8-4-4) is a little bit higher latency than the others. Does this matter to someone who probs won't over clock the RAM anyway?

If you're on a budget they are fine. You may want to look into the OCZ value RAM though, very good stuff for cheap.

I have a matched pair of 512mb Geil Value in my gaming system. I bought them as a bundle together so they were compatible. Anyway, Ihaven't had any memory related issues since I got them 2 years ago... an they even came with cool looking blue heat spreaders.

Just my experience.
