Computex 06: Geil overclocks DDR2 memory to 1200MHz
Geil is bringing out 1GB 1200MHz DDR2 Cas 4 memory, aimed at hardcore gamers and overclockers.
The memory is overclocked from 800MHz, but not the fastest on show here at Computex – Corsair is running some at 1250MHz.
According to Geil, it achieves this by testing the memory during manufacture, and only using those without any defective ICLs that could pull down the speed. It costs $350.
The company also has the David 201 about to hit the shops. This strange named device is a 1GB Bluetooth mp3 watch. Aimed at sportsmen, you wear it like any normal watch but it connects wirelessly to the headphones that are sold with it, so can listen to music while running, etc.
Bluetooth headphones are usually pretty unsightly, and these are almost no exception. They’re a little big, but don’t look too bad. The sound quality was okay too. The watch itself is a little big too – hence the reason it’s aimed at men and not women, and has a touch sensitive screen to adjust sound volume.
The next generation, due towards the back end of the year, will include a heart monitor and pedometer.
It tells the time too.
