GEIL introduces the next evolution in memory
As well as using the latest voltage-tolerant DDR2 SDRAMs and being cooled by an impressive combination of copper heat-pipes and aluminium heat-spreaders, GEIL's EVO 1 memory modules feature IPS (Independent Power System) + EVM (Easy Voltage Manipulation) technologies intended to let you wring out the last ounce of performance.
The IPS system bypasses the normal voltage supply coming
through the
motherboard's DIMM connectors and feeds power through
a floppy-disk-drive-style power connector present on
each module (and as also illustrated on our shot of the ASUS M2N32
motherboard
here).
The Easy Voltage Manipulation technology allows the voltage on each
module to be adjusted using a top-mounted voltage pot
- helping to boost the stability of the modules at
over-clocked/high-frequency
speeds.
EVO 1 kits should be available from retailers in one or two months'
time and will be initially available in 1GB (2x512MB) DDR2-800 bundles.
