Mushkin has been a well-known maker of computer components for enthusiasts, particularly memory modules, for a number of years, but in the course of the last couple of years the company's efforts have been overshadowed by marketing campaigns of companies like Corsair Memory and OCZ Technology. Nevertheless, the firm still has some interesting devices to offer.

Madshrimps has posted a couple of articles related to Mushkin and its products, which may be interesting to the company's loyal customers and those who always looking for something new.

The first editorial contains performance comparison of seven new memory products from Mushkin for enthusiast and overclockers as well as OEM clients.

?For each specific test I've chosen to run the sample at manufacturer specifications and then push the modules to their performance ceiling in DC (Dual Channel) mode. I employed a multifarious approach including memory voltage adjustment (increase), BIOS tweaking etc. Prior to each set of benchmarks I've provided screenshots from CPUZ v.1.28 (Memory and SPD views) along with H Oda's WCPUID (WCPUCLK) indicating real-time CPU-clock speed. Prior to each test thumbnails are included to verify CPU/Memory speeds and latencies, including SPD (Serial Presence Detect) info,?writes Madshrimps web-site.

The second post is an interview with Mushkin official representative, who talks about Mushkin origins, it rise as a state-of-the-art memory manufacturer and unveils some future plans of the module maker.

?Today to compliment our in-depth Mushkin product review, we offer a true insight into the Denver based company vying for ?Lord of the RAM.?As surreal as it may seem, quite often company Representatives have little to no working technical knowledge of the products they represent. This interview challenges what I see as an insult to our intelligence as PC user's and the patronizing misconception PC-user's have no working knowledge of their own systems. Read on as we are invited along into the throne room at MushkinG,?starts the interview Madshrimps.
