Team Group TXDD2048M800HC4DC-D DDR 2-800 Memory

Introduction

It is a known fact that Intel Core 2 Duo is a great overclocker. Often it is quite easy to overclock a budget Core 2 Duo CPUs, such as E6300, to match the performance of the more expensive high-end processors.  Simply do a quick search online and you will find that E6300 can overclock to 3 GHz or higher without much trouble,  putting the performance of a $180 processor closer or eve surpassing the expensive $1,000 X6800. Of course, in order to achieve such high overclocking results, the right components must be used.  One of such component is the memory.

With the advances of DDR2 technology, the higher speeds and lower lantencies are only gaining popularity.  It seems that DDR2-800 has become the mainstream speed and higher speed memory modules are coming to the market as we speak. The recent drop in the price of DDR2-800 certainly makes it a great buy if you plan to overclock your system.  Since a Core 2 Duo can be overclocked by simply raising the FSB to match the clockspeed of the memory without breaking a sweat.  Thus, having that extra clockspeed would certainly come in handy.

Almost all memory manufactures have a DDR2-800 on their product line up.  The question still remains, which one will offer the best performance and overclocking result.  Well, we have received new entry into the market from Team Group, TXDD2048M800HC4DC-D, which we are going to put it to the the torture test.

The Company

Team Group may sound like a new company to many people as its name is not as widely known as the big players such as Corsair, OCZ, or Kingston.  However, Team Group is actually a quite well-known among hardcore computer enthusiasts.

Team Group Inc. is a manufacturer and wholesaler of computer components.  The company is established in 1994.  They manufacture and sell high quality memory modules with wafer chips made by Samsung, Infineon, Micron, Hynix, Mosel and Nanya.  In addition to the modules, they also manufacture flash memory cards, and USB flash drives incorporating fashionable design and excellent quality.

The company is recognized as one of the leading memory product manufacturers in Taiwan.  Team Group covers many business regions all over the world, and has four logistic distribution centers: Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the USA. We are also planning to establish more logistic centers in other regions.

Our company in the USA, Team Research Inc. was founded back in 1990 in Milpitas (Silicon Valley), California, USA. Team Research is one of the top-ranking companies with excellent business experience in the computer components industry.　We have developed successful buy and sell models to better serve our customers in this highly competitive field. Team Research inc. also maintains the R&D office for our entire group in order to further support our customers.

Our goal is to become one of the leading providers for memories, flash cards, and pen drives in Asia in the near future.

As you can see, Team Group has been in the business for quite awhile.   What Team Group does to really stands out in the computer memory business is their full disclosure on the type of  RAM they used.  In the past, the memories which Team Groups sell have the heat-spreader unattached, so users can see what memory chip was used.  However, lately, Team Group has begun to attach heat-spreaders to their memory.  Still, just check Team Group’s site and you will see what memory chip is used on which lines of memory and if the information is not there, you can always email them.  This is a great information for those who are looking for a specific type of memory to achieve high overclocking result.
