Kingston PC6400CL4 and PC8500CL5 2GB Memory Kits Review

jmke · 21st February 2007, 15:08

When it comes to high performance memory, Kingston has a name to keep up in the business. We already took some of the memory kits from Corsair, Team Group and OCZ for a spin, but Kingston was noticeably absent. About time we set this right, and we do this today by looking at two of their products: the PC6400CL4 and PC8500CL5, both 2Gb memory kits. Let's see how they stack up against some fierce competition.

Go for the lowest price point is still the best choice?

best choice for who? If you're concerned about your budget, going for lowest price point is always the best choice

Indremental Money spent versus incremental performance/value received.

cheapest PC6400 DDR2 ram more than enough to satisfy COre 2 bandwidth needs

Agree; unless you get a processor that can do +500 FSB everytime, finding mobo and memory become secondary and relatively easier than the formal.

I think most E6300 can reach 500+, just need a mobo that can do it

having negative FSB:MEM divider also helps
