Wintec Industries 4GB AMPX DDR2 1066MHz Extreme Dual Channel Memory
|
 "Modern day computing has seen its share of increases over the past decade. Each year components in the personal computer have become quicker by a substantial rate and it turns out Gordon Moore was almost correct in his thoughts regarding where the pace of continued development in the semiconductor industry was heading
Take for instance double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory or DDR SDRAM, the most commonly utilized choice of memory for modern day computers. It was only back in 2000 that we began to see how DDR SDRAM began to be the game changer over standard SDRAM and made all others before it obsolete. Fast forward ten years and today we are indeed seeing how DDR has evolved and are now in the DDR3 era. DDR1 is now obsolete while DDR3 is kingpin, however, where does that leave DDR2?
Today I will review and share with you regarding a Dual Channel memory kit upgrade from Wintec Industries that will help you extract as much performance from your DDR 2 system configuration as possible. I present to you the Wintec Industries 4GB AMPX DDR2 1066Mhz Extreme Dual Channel Memory Kit (3AXT8500C5-4096K) review. This is a super long-term review with my thoughts on running this memory kit for close to one year now."

OCZ Technology exits the memory market
|
|
"OCZ: In the short term nothing has changed and OCZ is
continuing to sell and support memory through the wind down process,
in the long term the focus of the company is shifting to our fast
growing SSD solutions but rest assured we are continuing to fully
support customers that have purchased our DRAM products. What this
means for consumers is that we will continue to provide service and
support for these solutions as well as take care of the lifetime
warranties."

DDR3 dual channel memory kit
|
|
"With two 2GB RAM modules it gives you a total of 4GB of RAM which will be plenty for most people with a 64-bit operating system. With an aluminum heat sink over a copper core, this kit should appeal to overclockers as well as the average user."

Kingston HyperX H2O 6GB 2000MHz DDR3 Triple Channel Memor
|
|
Remember when 2GB memory kits were considered the optimal choice for any dual channel computer? Now, thanks to 64-bit operating systems, 4GB dual channel and 6GB triple channel memory kits are the ideal minimum configuration. Designing more attractive memory modules help motivate consumers and enthusiasts to pick them over others. The HyperX team at Kingston have taken another bold step forward by introducing the HyperX H2O series dual and triple channel memory kits. Is the H2O cool, or does it just look cool?

OCZ Platinum XTE PC3-16000 4GB Dual Channel Kit
|
|
"With all the excitement surrounding CES 2011 and new releases such as Intel's second generation Core chips like the i5-2500K that Shawn just reviewed, it can be easy to overlook updated revisions of existing products. Towards the end of November, OCZ announced revamped editions of their popular Blade, Platinum and Gold series memory. However between the holidays and upcoming CES this news may have slipped under the radar. Plus it's only been more recently that these versions have even started to show up at online retailers."

Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0
|
|
"Kingston, a leading memory vendor has just announced their first USB 3.0 flash drive almost a year later than the world first USB 3.0 flash drive in Nov 2009. This is understandable as it takes time for the market to accept and acknowledge all the new technologies before they go into mass production with much affordable price. Today let us have a deep dive on Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 flash drive."

Corsair Vengeance Series PC3-12800 12GB Kit
|
|
"While we see a fair bit of memory from Corsair, something we haven't seen in a while is a new series from the company with most kits being part of the high end Dominator line-up. Recently we checked out a new addition to the XMS line, but today we're checking out a kit from the newly launched Vengeance series.
While the Vengeance series is designed with overclockers in mind, they say the added bonus of a lower price tag leaves room in your system build budget for other items. In the technical department, though, the key point to the series is the lower voltage requirement. While most kits carry a need for 1.65v, the Vengeance line up which currently consists of seven kits requires only 1.5v."

Patriot Viper Xtreme PC3 16000 CAS 9 2X2GB Memory
|
|
"The addition of the copper strips between the memory modules and the extruded aluminum heat spreaders is a nice addition to help keep the heat down in these memory modules. This design improves on the AOC concept used on the original Viper Series modules. The cool running modules help bring stability to higher end overclocks. When overclocked, I was able to push Viper Xtreme modules up another 112MHz. Not earth shattering but worth the effort to get them to this level."

Kingston Data Traveller Mini Fun G2
|
|
"Flash drives, pen drives, dongles, butt-plugs, flash memory sticks certainly have a lot of names; and that's quite fitting, as they come in a lot of different shapes, sizes and configurations. Some are business orientated, others more gamer like; and there are some that are designed to appeal to the inner child.
Today I'm looking at a group of drives that are certainly in the latter category. Part of the Data Traveller range, these little drives are collectively called the "Mini Fun G2" sticks from Kingston. Let's see how fun they really are. "

Imation Defender F200 Biometric Flash Drive
|
|
" There are occasions where you need to transport information of
a sensitive nature while not worrying if it gets into the wrong hands.
For that reason, many companies have created flash drives with a focus
squarely being on security. We at ASE Labs have reviewed such products
in the past, but the Imation Defender F200 Biometric Flash Drive is the
first one we have seen that forgoes using traditional password
encryption. Instead, it uses a fingerprint scanner to protect your data. "
