Patriot Viper PC3-12800 4GB Memory Kit Review
Virtual-Hideout has posted a review of the
Patriot Viper PC3-12800 4GB memory kit.
Here’s what they had to say:
“The Patriot Viper 4GB PC3-12800 Dual Channel Memory Kit thoroughly tested here offered nothing short of those expectations. The memory is fully backward compatible with your 1066 MHz and 1333 MHz Core 2 series Intel processors. The extra performance gained from the memory's timings at lower 6-6-6-18 setting should be a pleasant bonus which also equates in to plenty of bandwidth.
Of course, the memory's 1600 MHz standard tramples over any memory module with slower frequencies and timings. At 1600 MHz, the system's scalable BUS produced a screaming 11,015 MB/s memory bandwidth. That's some serious bandwidth feeding your gaming or compiling power house systems.”
At the moment, most 4GB PC3-12800 7-7-7 kits seem to be topping out in the 1650-1750Mhz range, which is decent, but not spectacular. However, for those seeking faster speeds, the 4GB PC3-14400 and PC3-16000 kits are starting to fall under $400.
