The memory market is constantly moving and leaves the customer to make a tough choice. It's hard to wade through all those kits on your favorite e-tailers site and know which is the best. That's why we evaluate them for you, so you have a good idea before handing over a few Benjamins. If you are not into overclocking, the choice is made easier though. Find the right price and one with a heatspreader you like and you should be golden. Of course, warranties could come into play as well.
We've taken a look at close to thirty kits of memory in our two years of existence. Some from OCZ, some from Corsair and the rest from other smaller known companies. Today we are taking a look at a new kit from Kingston and although they are far from being unknown, they are not usually the first choice when it comes to performance memory. Kingston is actually larger than Corsair and OCZ combined, so you'd imagine they have a solid grasp on how to make good memory with quality, high-binned chips.
A few weeks ago, Greg took a look at their PC2-6400 HyperX kit which left us impressed. It overclocked quite high considering it had only a 400MHz stock frequency. Last year I had taken a look at their PC2-8000 and was left equally impressed. In fact, it's been in one of my machines since that review. That said, Kingston has not let us down yet, so we are expecting great things from their PC2-9200 kit.
