Mushkin today announced a new DDR2 800 MHz, 2x 2GB dual-channel memory kit, the XP2 series model 996580X2. The product targeted at the mainstream thru value segments. Mushkin adopted a simplistic product design which includes two modules without heatspreaders. The modules operate at voltages between 2 and 2.1V and DRAM timings of 4-4-4-12. The modules use an 8-layer black coloured PCB to reduce electronic noise. Mushkin plans to sell this kit for 46 to 49 Euros including taxes.

Promos clock pretty well on lower voltages. Contrary to popular belief, they aren't likely to live long at 2.4V. If yours do, you are lucky. Furthermore, above 2.25V, scaling usually drops off drastically, adding very little speed, but a lot more heat. Still, good overall chips, and generally cheaper than Micron.

p_o_s_pcnot too bad of a price wonder what chips they use. maybe it would be good for someone that doesn't overclock
pretty sure these are from same batch as the High Perf modules, just gotta add on HS, and i think Thermalright makes better sinks.

You are lucky. I burned up 3 sets of Promos chipped G.Skill HK's at just 2.35V, with an Antec Spot Cool blowing on them. 2.4V is not a safe voltage for any DDR2. Some are just luckier than others. (I'm not one of those lucky ones with ram. lol)
