Mushkin DDR2-667's Double-Sided Module With A Need For Speed
The Mushkin modules certainly make a visual statement. They're not necessarily attractive, but they are unusual. The vendor sent us only their "fat" 1 GB modules. This confers the primary advantage that comes from double-sided modules - namely, that they take the edge on speed right out of the box. During our overclocking test this RAM achieved a speed rating of 918 (459 MHz). That's a respectable value but by no means at the top of our class of test candidates.
