DDR2 Kingston Memory Is Made For Real Computer UsersRecently a new type of memory has come out and many computer users are finding that they really like the ddr2 kingston memory. Every techie that has looked at the ddr2 kingston memory kits realizes that this type of memory stands to have a great future. The only issue that many of the tech lovers is that the ddr2 kingston memory is still for use with P4s, and most techies still prefer to use AMD CPUs. But sooner or later all technology lovers will change their mind in as far as the ddr2 kingston memory goes. One of the most important reasons, and one of the most important features of the ddr2 kingston memory is that this memory has one of the highest speeds on the market today. Another great benefit of the ddr2 kingston memory is that the price has already started to drop on this great memory, so now we cant even truly say that the ddr2 kingston memory is more expensive than the DDR SDRAM. Among the best manufacturers of the DDR2 memory is Kingston. Kingston has been in the memory making business for about 20 years and because of this the quality they have put into the DDR2 kingston memory is exceptional in every way. The DDR2 kingston memory belongs to the HyperX series, and was developed for overclockers systems. This type of memory is made for motherboards that have dual cannel memory controller. Each ddr2 kingston memory stick is made of 512MB. When the kit is sold it comes with an installation manual. One of the extra features of the DDR2 Kingston memory are the heat spreaders that have been placed on the memory modules on both sides. Most memory that is made for overclockers have these heat spreaders but in kingstons case they are blue. Kingston uses a special anodization to make the color. The memory also carries the Kingston logo and the HyperX name which makes it unique from all other DDR2 memory. The DDR2 Kingston memory has a frequency of 900Mhz DDR, and the Nominal voltage is 2.0V, the nominal timings are 5-5-5-15. the organization is 64M x 8 DDR2. The question is why has Kingston set its frequency at 900 MHz and its timing to 5-5-5-15 when other memory makers are set at 1000MHz and use nominal voltage of 2.1V and 2.2V. The reason for this difference lies under the heat spreader. To our surprise Kingston has used Infineon chips which is the first time these chips are used in an overclocker product. Other DDR2 memory has been using Micron chips in their modules. It appears that Kingston has again outthought their competitors by foregoing the micron chips for the Infineon chips. We will see how well they do in the real market. Unfortunately only time and the heavy use that most techs will give this type of memory will tell. |
