The Corsair Dominator RAM is the Latest and Best DDR2 Technology Available Today

The pride of Corsair’s line of DDR2 memory chips and the latest member of XMS2 technology is the Corsair Dominator RAM. These memory chips are made specifically for computers running on the latest operating systems; Vista and Windows 7.

Anyone who has ever used these systems on a computer with standard DDR or DDR2 memory chips will have experienced slowness and lag when they open up applications or perform system functions. While it may be possible to overclock the cpu of the computer to achieve greater speed, that may result in the memory chips overheating and will eventually lead to a system crash.

It is not just operating systems which are memory-hungry nowadays, the latest versions of popular applications, including games, animation programs and Microsoft programming suites will need the your cpu to run at maximum overclocked speed for ease of use. Overclocking, by the way is making your cpu run faster than its declared speed. Not all cpu’s can be overclocked though. The highest overclocked speed on which a Windows system was run is 800 mhz.

The tendency to burn the memory chips is a deterrent to speeding up the computer … previously, that is. With the Corsair Dominator RAM, you can set your cpu to perform at speeds of 800 mhz without the risk of toasting your memory chips and crashing you computer.

Heat generated and contained in the Corsair Dominator RAM is diffused in two ways. First, the conventional (but much improved) aluminum heat-spreader technology is applied to siphon out the heat from the memory chips and release them into the air.

Secondly, the manufacturers of Corsair Dominator RAM invented a method that they call the Dual-Path Heat Exchange (DHX). The mechanism involves mounting the memory chips at a higher elevation than usual on the motherboard. The extra height serves to house a medium which transfers some of the heat in the memory chips down to the copper groundings of the motherboard.

Motherboards that are Corsair Dominator compatible usually have more copper at the base of the circuitry to absorb heat from the memory.

With two systems working to keep the memory chips cool, maximizing your computer’s speed will no longer be an issue to deliberate on.
