Kingston DDR3 Ram

DDR3

DDR3 s getting popular, most reviews are fairly positive, but there limit for the sky even. It is clear that only the people who really want to have the maximum change to DDR3.


DDR3 kits
The current kits are accustomed as we are an even number (usually two pieces). You can safely buy kit so hard, get over to Core I7 prick . Kingston was recently also begin production and sales of "triple-channel" kits. "dual channel"-kit. Today we look to an ordinary "dual channel" kit.

Specifications

We start with the Kingston 2GB 1800MHz CL-8-kit, the kit consists of two 1GB modules that run on both a speed of 1800MHz. For the stability of such rates to ensure there is a required voltage of 1.9 volts.

Description

Kingston HyperX PC-14400-2 GB (2 x 1 GB) - DIMM 240-pin - DDR3 SDRAM

Storage Capacity 2 GB ( 2 x 1 GB ) 2 GB (2 x 1 GB)
Technology DDR3 SDRAM/240 pin
Memory Speed 1800 MHz (PC3-14400)
Latency CL8 ( 8-8-8-24 ) CL8 (8-8-8-24)
Cooling HyperX heat diffuser
Spanning Voltage 1.9V

This the specifications that they in particular seem to 1600MHz kit, which we previously used in the OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 . so that this kit will not do much against the Kingston HyperX PC3-12800 2GB CL-7 kit.

Description

Kingston HyperX PC-12800-4 GB (2 x 1 GB) - DIMM 240-pin - DDR3 SDRAM

Storage Capacity 4 GB (2 x 2 GB)
Technology DDR3 SDRAM/240 pin
Memory Speed 1600 MHz (PC3-12800)
Latency CL9 (9-9-9-27)
Cooling HyperX heat diffuser
Voltage 1.9V

32-bit or 64-bit?

In 2003, AMD 64-bit processors hit in the market. It hit like a bomb to the consumer, we all still had a 32-bit processor so a doubling of the number of "bit" certainly a big step forward.

With the arrival of the 64-bit processor began more and more consumers to think about more than 4GB of memory to place in their PC. The integrated memory controller, AMD made it possible to apply it.
(32-bit = 2 32 = 4,294,967,296, 64-bit = 2 64 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616)

In short, the theoretical limit of a 64-bit processor is many times greater than seventeen million gigabytes to be exact. In practice, most modern PC's hardware up to about eight to sixteen gigabytes of memory for servers and the border is now mostly on 64 or 128 gigabytes. Today, 64-bit sound established and you can install Vista in both 32 - and 64-bit.

To prevent confusion, Microsoft has released Vista SP1 in the manner in which Windows reports on the amount of memory installed on a PC is. The software is no longer how much memory can be used effectively, but how much memory is installed in hardware. That is, people with four gigabytes of memory modules seen in Vista SP1 32-bit now actually four gigabyte list.

Overclock

Both modules have a lot of difference on clock. Keep in mind that the timing is not to find the maximum speed. The timings were (finally) set to 9-9-9-27 and the voltage was down to 2.1 V. The further increase the voltage provided solid runners.

The 2GB kits bells still faster than a 4GB kit. Even with the advent of the triple-channel kit 3GB kit will probably still faster than a bell 6GB kit. How this will work in practice remains to be tested.

Rather less risk and continue to run at 1.9 V? Expected or not above 1900MHz to arrive. The test was seen here for 1885MHz, which we could enjoy the blue screens and solid runners in Windows.

4GB

The 4GB kit from the begining unstable. its good at 1600MHz running on default settings.With X3 chipset the 4GB kit have ability to run on 1800MHz. However, this was far from being stable.

Conclusion
It is clear that the future is still good for a 64-bit system. The "early adopters" have their work done and now the more going to use it.

The memory performance more than excellent for the 2GB kit was up to 2GHz to run. With a little tweak work was stable at 1960MHz good run. The 4GB memory ,less over, around 1700MHz ok for it.



All in all not as quickly Kingston 4GB kit buy. It was bad to clocks and it is very unstable over standard rates. However, I have to talk about the 2GB kit. Overclockers can go to take their chance!
