Computex 08 Happy memories...

EVEN AS INTEL announced its new-generation DDR3-optimised mainstream P45 and G45 chipsets - finally - the memory itself hasn't yet become mainstream in its pricing. While some vendors like Kingston and Corsair will emphasise their 'value' DDR3 module price-to-performance ratio, the overall focus is still on that second feature - performance. And, oh yes, add capacity to it. As we mentioned before, high capacity DDR3 modules in 2 x 2GB kits would have reached DDR3-2000 speeds, as Corsair and OCZ already offer by now. Take a look at some of the interesting offerings here - a comparison between Corsair 4GB DDR3-2000 CL9 kit on an Asus Striker II Extreme mobo mentioned earlier by Charlie and zoomed in this time, vs, say, OCZ's water-cooled DDR3-2000 kit: And, not to forget, our favourite hard-core gamer John "Fatal1ty" was there at the OCZ booth promoting their new mainstream "Fatal1ty" branded memory - and no, obviously this is not Jonathan, but the lovely Jessica from OCZ holding it....
