     Today we conclude our series of DDR-2 memory tests on the EVGA 680i SLI motherboard by testing Mushkin's new Extreme Performance XP2-8500 2Gb Memory Kit (2 x 1Gb) with 5-5-4-12 timings. These are very quick latency timings for memory running at 1066MHz. With such a high rating will Mushkin's XP2-8500 beat our previously established records? Is there any chance this memory will go any faster than 1066MHz? I'm eager to find out so let's get to it!

     Mushkin XP memory comes with heatspreaders, but they are not gold or platinum plated with fancy holographic logos. All that fancy stuff is just expensive eye candy that doesn't help the performance of the memory. Mushkin tends to stick with a concept that works - concentrate on PERFORMANCE.
