A-DATA has some very highly rated memory modules in their product gamma, the DDR600 sticks below are sold separately and therefore not necessary rated at those speeds when 2 modules are used.
As with the PDP sticks, the heat spreaders are colorful and will brighten up the inside of your system.
(click for close-up ~100kb/2200x500)PCB designThis one is the ugly ducking in our line-up, although the dimensions of the PCB make me believe A-DATA followed JEDEC reference, I see more transistors on there, which strangely enough correspond with those on the Brain Power PCB. Taking a closer look at the PCB did not really clear things up, as the only reading I could spot was D68004H in one corner of the module.
Overclocking ExperienceWhen I started testing at tight timings the modules behaved identical to the Brain Power “powered” modules. But when I select CL2.5 these sticks kept on passing Memtest86+ at higher and higher speeds. Reaching a stable speed of 272Mhz. Very impressive!
2 * A-DATA PC4800 |
Timings | FSB/CPU | Q3A | 3DMark2001SE |
CL2 2-2-10 | 211Mhz / 2215Mhz | 365.3 | 14193 |
CL2.5 3-3-10 | 272Mhz / 2176Mhz | 385 | 14393 |
CL3 4-4-10 | < 275Mhz | n/a | n/a |
Performance with 2 modules was very good and it did not disappoint in the “1 stick” category either. 295Mhz is very close to their rated speed (again, on an Intel setup)

These A-DATA made a very remarkable appearance, delivering speeds I did not see before when using 2 modules!
