| Kingston HyperX PC2-8500 DDR2 Dual-Channel Memory Kit |
 Like
all other Kingston HyperX products, Kingston 1GB HyperX PC2-8500
DDR2 Memory Kit is designed specifically to fulfill the insatiable
demand of hardcore gamers. They want nothing but the fastest memory and
these modules do just that.
At 1066 MHz DDR, the Kingston HyperX PC2-8500 DDR2 series offers the highest memory clock speed at latencies of 5-5-5-15 with a rated command rate of 1T. Of course, to reach that clock speed, Kingston recommends an I/O voltage of 2.2V. At the standard 1.8V I/O voltage, Kingston rates these modules at 800 MHz DDR. If your motherboard cannot support the I/O voltage of 2.2V, then you may have to run at this speed. It's also good to note that Kingston is backing up these memory modules with a lifetime warranty. No matter how overclocked or overvolted the memory chips in these memory modules are, you can be assured of a replacement from Kingston should anything untoward happen to the modules. It is certainly great news for PC enthusiasts who love pushing their PC to the limits. Although this memory kit allows you to run with a very high memory clock speed, it might be a good idea to consider the 2GB kit instead. Games like F.E.A.R. and memory-intensive applications like Photoshop require a lot of memory, and 2GB will certainly improve their performance. This memory kit is certainly worth checking out if you are looking for really high-speed memory to play with. With a lifetime warranty to back it up, you will have ample opportunity to tweak and polish this diamond until it shines! For more details, read our Pictorial Review! |

* Our New Review System
ARP is committed to developing new ways to improve your experience with us. As part of our continuous efforts to improve the value of our reviews to you, we are implementing a new review system.
This new review system is designed to allow you to quickly receive information on the latest hardware. This new system also allows you to quickly get the gist of the review without reading through it. This can be very useful, especially in situations where you need to make a quick purchase decision.
In this new system, we start with a Product Overview whenever a company sends us a press release about their latest product. We shift through extraneous PR-talk to create a straightforward summary of the product's features as well as specifications. This allows you to quickly find out all the pertinent details about the product, without reading through official press releases.
When we receive the product for review, we will quickly take photos of it and create a Pictorial Review. The purpose of a pictorial review is to allow you, the reader, to quickly examine the product visually. It may help you make better purchase decisions, especially if you cannot wait for the full review.
After thorough testing, we will post a Comprehensive Review of the product. This adds on to the pictorial review with comprehensive test results and our final conclusion on the product.
But no matter whether you are reading a Pictorial Review or a Comprehensive Review, you can always read the summary of the review as well as examine the product's specifications right on the first page. In all our new reviews, we will maintain the first page as a Product Overview page. If the product is listed in PriceGrabber, you can also check out the lowest price online.
We hope this new review system will make your experience a lot more enjoyable and informative!
