Default Kingston Hyper X PC3-13000 2GB Memory Kit Review

Kingston has been in business for longer then most of us have probably been building systems. Well known for its ValueRAM and HyperX memory lines, as well as some pretty damned impressive flash memory, Kingston knows how to dish up a delectable entrée of performance.

Seems like a decent product, but somewhat overpriced for the performance you will get out of it. However, Kingston service is arguably the best around when it comes to getting your warranty back.
Good review Rich. Cool you used the Reserator too (pun not intended). :P




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

Capper thanks for reviewing all of these DDR3 kits, it has proven to be very helpful in my search. This kit, like most kingston kits is a wee bit over-priced.

@ RAID, I swear OCZ makes good products, but dammit I have had 2 sticks of their DDR2 die on me in like a month...... I think for DDR3 I am going Mushkin, they have never let me down. In about a week I'm dropping the dime on DDR3 and a new MB.
