Mushkin 4GB XP2-8500

Mushkin is the only memory company right now to offer 4GB extreme performance kits, with their top-end offering on our test bench today. Despite the fact that it already has high stock speeds, we were surprised to find out that it still had a lot of overclocking headroom.

Holy Crap! $700!

While I can certainly appreciate a 2x2gb kit that performs like this, I'd sooner spend $450 on 4x1gb, and deal with the hassle of mounting a 120mm fan over them. $250 could buy a LOT of fan.
