In our most recent test of RAM modules we mentioned that 16 GB is becoming the standard for many of our readers. Adata sent us two 16GB DDR3 kits from their deluxe XPG series, aimed at gamers and overclockers. The XPG 16GB DDR3-1600 CL11 kit is specs-wise a dime-a-dozen product, but we mean that in a good way. DDR3-1600 currently dominates the market, and with the XPG DDR3-2133 CL10 Adata wants to compete with Corsair, Kingston and G.Skills in the high-end segment.
ADATA have launched a new XPG series of memory kits with frequencies ranging from 1600MHz up to 2133MHz. Different CAS latency variants are also offered and regarding capacities we have both 8GB and 16GB memory kits ready.
Sandybridge has been dominating the press for many months, delivering high levels of performance for the mainstream enthusiast audience. Until the end of the year however, X58 still remains the best choice for designers, 3d rendering artists and wealthy gamers. Today we are looking at a new high density 12GB memory kit from Kingston which should sate the appetites of the high end professional user and hardcore gamer.
We've been focussing on storage a lot as of late, and for a very good reason as files are getting larger, especially when you look at the size of a good quality image, HD video footage or just a multi-page document. Together these all add up and cause the need for expandable storage, but that comes at a cost, especially when you want speed in conjunction with it too. Taking a step back from the plethora of USB 3.0 SuperSpeed flash drives on the market, you can never go wrong for something small and discrete but with a large capacity, and of course having a price point that doesn't hurt your bank balance.
Sandybridge systems are selling well, and many memory manufacturers are offering dual channel kits to capitalise on the growing market. Opting for a 4GB kit is certainly the cheapest option but with memory prices at an all time low is it worth looking at one of the higher density options for additional future proofing down the line?
With Sandybridge systems picking up sales momentum, many enthusiast users are considering a complete upgrade. There are a wide variety of manufacturers selling quality DDR3 memory kits and with current pricing, there really is no better time to buy. Purchasing a 4GB kit is certainly the cheapest option, but if you have greater multitasking demands and want peace of mind for the future then a 8GB kit could be a wise choice.
The last few kits of memory we've looked at from A-DATA have been a part of the Gaming Series. While impressed with what the kits offered, one of my favorite kits of RAM that I've looked at from A-DATA this year was the Plus Series 4GB PC3-17600 kit.
So you're sitting there on a P55 based machine, you want to get some RAM, but you're a bit down because if you had an X58 board you would be getting 6GB which seems like a good amount. Instead you're looking at a 4GB kit. While no doubt 4GB is nice, it would be nicer to have a bit more RAM. Sure, you could fill all your banks up, but you're not a huge fan of doing that for fear of instability or other performance related issues.
Kaum eine Komponente im Computer ist solchen Preisschwankungen unterworfen, wie es beim Arbeitsspeicher der Fall ist. Gerade Anwender, welche noch am überlegen waren aufzurüsten, können die aktuell niedrigen Preise nutzen und günstig aufrüsten. Eines dieser günstigen Kits, mit einer Kapazität von sechs GiB, welches aus der Gaming Series von A-Data stammt, befindet sich heute bei uns Test. Wie sich dieses schlägt, erfahrt ihr auf den folgenden Seiten.
ADATA went all out when designing their XPG V2 memory. They used extremely high quality ICs, an efficient and sleek looking heatspreader and the build quality is top notch. All of this attention to detail allowed the memory to perform excellent at the default frequency, but it also gives this kit overclocking headroom that puts most memory kits to shame.
