I recently bought a couple sticks of 256 Geil 3500 Ulra Platinum ram. The overall review of them on www.newegg.com was about a 4/5. The users said it just as good if not better then the corsair 3500, but that doesnt mean the xms series either. Heh. The only real reason i went with Geil is cause ive read in the past that if you get a nice set of sticks, they will oc pretty good for the amount of money you save not buying Corsair or Mushkin. Thats a big reason i went with Geil this time, I saved a lot of money. Please post reviews or benchmarks from this ram, or Geil in general, thanks.
