Kingston HyperX RAM

Kingston HyperX RAM modules are on top of their game—and a whole lot more. Plus, if it’s coming from Kingston, I’m rest very-assured that I’ve got a good product (unless it happens to be one of those notorious Kingston counterfeits—which I had the distasteful experience of buying a “Kingston DDR2 2 gigabyte modules”, only to find out that they were phonies and would not even set-up right in BIOS!). Ok, venting aside, let’s take a glance at my friends system, its HyperX modules, and various other offerings from Kingston.

My friends system (at least the part that’s relevant to this review) is a customized HP Pavilion with an i7-920 Intel processor that boasts a 2.66 gigahertz (I love to spell it out, yes) with 1 megabyte L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache and QPI technology. It also came with 8 gigabytes of PC3-8500 DDR3 RAM modules—which, me being the power hungry-never satisfied techy, I just had to upgrade to an additional 8 gigabytes—bringing the total memory to a whopper of about 16 gigabytes (give or take a few kilobytes, I presume).

Two 4 gigabyte chips  from Kingston and designated “LoVo” (low-voltage), with the proprieatary HyperX technology embedded and in addition to my existing RAM, it makes for one helluva setup! Sometimes I even wonder if I could run an entire datacenter with this setup, haha. Added to that the frames per second(FPS) I get out of my Rampage Extreme video card quite literally—and pardon the expression—“out the frame”.

I love this product X 1,000. I can’t really say it enough; Kingston makes some of the best computer components ever—and I’m not even saying that to only benefit them, but my fellow online gamers and work associates.
