Are you looking for a high performance quad-channel memory kit for your Intel X79 platform? The Kingston KHX2133C11D3K4/16GX memory kit has four 4GB DDR3 memory modules that run at 2133MHz with CL11 timings. Having 16GB of memory should mean that you have more than enough to run numerous applications at once and the speed needed to get things done. The best part of this kit is that you can find if for under $100 shipped! Read on to see how it performs and overclocks!
The 16GB quad-channel kit of 2133MHz HyperX Genesis memory from Kingston Technology is a memory kit that is more than capable of handling any number of large memory usage computer programs, while also providing the speed of 2133MHz to ensure that our programs work quickly, and effortlessly. And having the ability of pushing this memory even farther to 2200MHz will ensure that overclockers will have some room to play.
The price of this kit makes me feel old. I didn't get into computers as early as most of you here but I do remember buying a 512MB stick of Corsair XMS DDR 400 RAM back in the day for around the $150 mark. Keep the RAM wars alive! I wonder if the reduced RAM pricing has anything to do with the fact that everything in our lives how seems to have some form of RAM in it (computers, phones, TVs, Blu-Ray players, car radio, etc...)?
The biggest battle was Corsair versus OCZ on the high-end and as you know OCZ exited that business.
Then companies starting using PCB's are based off JEDEC designs and that there are there are just a few types of IC's being used at any given time.
To make matter worse all memory has lifetime warranties.
At the end of the day buying memory usually comes down to price and appearance. Back in 2002-2006 it wasn't like that as there was a wider variety of PCB's, IC's and so on.
low cost memory has played a big roll in what our electronics do today, but it's also part of the dumbing down of the PC.
Yeah, that would be nice.
APUs are becoming very relevant for many users and obviously RAM performance impacts them way more than systems with discrete graphics (for which the effect of RAM B/W is non-existant).
