With memory being such a vital component in your PC, it is important that the kit you choose be able to produce the performance you require. Of course, picking which set best fits your needs can be difficult as there are many companies and manufacturers of performance memory to choose from. Many have good reputations and stand behind their products, but not all of them have the fifteen years of experience and the out standing line-up that Mushkin has. This Denver base company has over the years released memory that is fast, stylish, highly overclockable, hand tested and comes included with a lifetime warranty. Some of their more popular series to date are have been the Redline and Blackline, which were highly regarded for their performance and overclocking ability making them a hot commodity for enthusiasts looking for a product that could best meet their extreme demands. The set of memory that we are going to be looking at today is a 6GB triple-channel kit from Mushkin, that includes their all new Ridgeback heatspreader. The Ridgeback is designed to offer optimal heat transfer and still be low profile enough to easily fit in any setup. Before even getting this set out of the packaging I can already tell you that Mushkin has delivered on the looks and if appearance were indicator for performance, we could stop the review here and award the gold. However since this isn't the case we'll have to put them though our testbed and see if this new line can perform as good as it looks.
