A-DATA Vitesta Gaming DDR2-800 4GB Kit
Conclusion:
The A-DATA Vitesta Gaming DDR2 memory costs less than both the OCZ ReaperX HPC and Corsair HPC memory, but it was able to compete with these high-end modules when running at the same frequency. The disadvantage comes though with overclocking. With most gaming/enthusiast-oriented DIMMs rated at DDR2-800MHz, we're usually able to push them to at least 1066MHz with ease when raising the memory voltage and increasing the timings.
With the A-DATA AD20800G002GMU this was not the case and we were not able to push this memory past 950MHz without running into show-stopping stability issues. If you are looking for a non-expensive 4GB DDR2 memory kit and aren't interested in overclocking or elaborate heatspreaders, the A-DATA Vitesta Gaming DDR2-800 may satisfy you but enthusiasts will want to look elsewhere. For those in need of a larger memory capacity, the Vitesta Gaming series has kits up to 8GB in size.
