G.Skill to replace my faulty GeIL... a few Q's

[Heatsinked]

My previous GeIL 1GB dual channel Kit died after a year of intense use. I have been shipped the following as a replacement:

G.Skill 1GB DDR LA PC4800 (2x512MB) Dual Channel Kit

I have never heard of G.Skill before but from what I have read, it should be on par with my previous GeIL PC4000 kit? I don't overclock anymore but I might be tempted to try again if this G.Skill stuff is up to it.

I have an Athlon64 4000 Socket 939 CPU. Will this mean I can only choose between CAS 2 and 3, not 2.5?

Also, while I'm here, can I just thank Overclockers for their exceptional friendly service, despite having a massive pile of RMA's to sort out!

Wow. RAM sure has changed since I last purchased. Stability and performance at stock is all I really need. The overclocking potential is just an added bonus!

Thanks 4Qman, platty... I feel better about G.Skill now.

Well it's here! Shame I'm at work...

Expected more care on OcUK's part, the G.Skill packet has suffered damage due to inadequate packaging.

Well, so long as it works, I don't mind that much. I'll see if I can reach DDR 600 tonight
