Kingston CL 3-3-3-10 memory tested
@ 2007/07/09KHX6400D2ULK2 is a low latency memory module running at 800MHz, however it scores the same or better than 1066MHz memory. The manufacturer is Kingston, and it is a privilege to test this quality CL3 memory.
rule of thumb, don't upgrade unless it gives you 20+% boost overall. (20% is rather high for enthusiasts, who jump at 5% increase to upgrade less tech savvy users tend to have longer life cycle, and they also get larger rewards from their upgrade)
Went from Tbird 900 -> XP 1700+ -> P4 2.4C -> A64 3000+ -> C2D E6600. The last upgrade I noticed large increase in game speed. AXP to P4 noticed good speed increase in Windows (thanks HT)
Still using A64 3000+ for workstation, but even using Firefox with plugins, Outlook in background, and Winamp playing, I find that opening extra Word/Excel files can get "slow";
