PC system memory is always getting faster and faster, especially with the introduction of the DDR3 memory standard. JEDEC has ratified it, Intel P35 and X38 chipsets are supporting it and we are now ...

We attempted to keep a consistent CPU speed through testing, however due to limitations in chipset straps between CPU front side bus and memory bus when overclocking, a closest fit was applied where ...

DDR2 memory has been the mainstream over the last 3 years. Intel first brought DDR2 into the market when it launched its 9xx series of Express chipsets. These saw DDR2 hitting only 533MHz; originally ...

The higher the megahertz, the bigger the bandwidth - that's the general rule when it comes to memory. Whilst this is not a real-world benchmark, it's an indication of theoretical performance. What we ...

Transcend has released a new addition to its aXeRam family – a DDR2 1200+ 2GB dual-channel overclocking kit with custom aluminum heat sinks. Like its DDR2 1066+ and DDR2 800+ siblings in the aXeRam ...

If you know what RAM is, then overclocking it can be a great way to boost your system's overall performance for just about every task. More memory bandwidth means the CPU can work at its full ...

Remember that small cooler we talked about earlier? Well, let's see how it handles a few rounds of overclocking. Like we said, the box claims this card is for "Extreme Overclocking", so we were ...

The generic idea in an ideal situation the memory should be clocked as fast as your FSB/HTT to gain optimal bandwidth. Unfortunately it's very tough and expensive to have memory clocked at that speed, ...

Competition can be a blessing for consumers, a headache for manufacturers and a driving force for an entire industry. Where a market once may have been dominated by one or two big companies with a ...

Yes. It does have multiple memory dividers, but you're going to be hurting pretty bad since you're going to be FSB dependent on your OC... and standard Dell DDR2-533 has pretty slow 5-5-5-15 timings.

Double Data Rate is a memory standard that enables RAM chips to transmit output twice in every cycle of the system clock. The DDR standard was superseded in 2003 by DDR2, a memory standard offering ...
