With a MHZ clock speed, this memory is designed for higher-end motherboards and the high-performance situations they endure, ranging from gaming on the latest titles to producing music, videos, and more. Best of all, the price is great and the reviews are excellent, making this memory an awesome choice.
Vengeance may be a word with a lot of weight to it, but it's the CORSAIR name that turns a weighty word into a powerful piece of hardware with high quality standards and a renowned reputation. CORSAIR has been a leader in memory for many years, and their Vengeance series clocked in at MHZ is no different - except that it's finally becoming a rather value-oriented piece of hardware.
While some people want slightly higher clock speeds for at times marginal performance changes, the MHZ clock speed is becoming a sort of sweet spot in price and performance, allowing the capacity of RAM capable for your PC to increase without costing you too much in a price increase.
Another big-name and leader in memory production is Kingston, and in the case of their products the HyperX is a wonderful line of memory that is designed to be high-performance capable but not necessarily out of your budget range either. In the case of the HyperX series, the 16GB capacity memory at MHZ is a perfect option for those who want a low-cost piece of memory that meets more than the minimum in performance needs, but doesn't necessarily jump into overkill either.
If you want a lot of memory but don't worry too much about clock speeds, MHZ is a fine speed for the everyday and occasional high-performance scenario, and the price the Kingston HyperX comes in at can't be beat. It's a great deal, has great features, and comes in at a great price. Low-Profile memory is a relatively new innovation among circles of technophiles and performance-hungry PC users.
This memory, though shorter in stature to its competitors, is no joke and carries with it a powerful computing punch. With a standard MHZ clock speed for tasks of all shapes and sizes, but the small size you need for smaller PC builds where real estate is precious, the Crucial Ballistix Low-Profile memory is a wonderful option, and not too shabby in price either. Recently, their Vengeance series of gaming-oriented memory for desktops and laptops has been a highlight namely for its cool looks, high clock speeds, and gaming-oriented design for maximum performance.
While it lacks the sweet looking heatsink seen on its desktop cousin, the Vengeance for laptop memory is still a fine choice, offering a standard MHZ clock speed, 16GB of memory on two chips, and a design meant to handle higher temperatures and demands of a gaming laptop. This makes it a best bet for laptops whether you need your memory for gaming or anything in between. For most, going to MHZ may be worth more trouble than it's worth.
But if you know your way around a BIOS, and your laptop's motherboard has the necessary compatibility whether it be native or overclock-compatible, then there's no reason to go for the extra speed for a slight edge in performance.
The 8GB memory in two 4GB chips offers not only one of the fastest native clock speeds available to laptops for their memory, but also included heat resistance to help with handling the extra heat laptops generate.
All in all, the HyperX is a fairly reasonable price compared to most laptop memory at this speed, which makes it a great choice if you know you really want MHZ. CORSAIR is already a well known memory provider, and it's Vengeance brand is a top-notch marker in quality and performance for gaming, production, and just about any hardcore PC task you may encounter.
It's still the same CORSAIR name, and while the memory may be a bit less superb than Vengeance, it's a lot cheaper and still a formidable option for laptop upgrades and those who still want the leading names in memory. However, with some of the lowest prices out there for 8GB of laptop memory, if you're looking to stick to a budget but not sacrifice clock speed or capacity then you may want to give Team a try. While it lacks aesthetics like heat resistance, it has a lifetime warranty and still remains a good choice for those who want to boost the speed of their laptop without spending too much.
While most people will opt for the fast or even faster MHZ clock speed for their laptop's memory, it's not completely out of the ordinary to go for the slightly slower MHZ memory speed to exchange a bit of speed for a lot in price. G-SKILL is already a well-known brand of components name among gamers, and the same quality and design put into their Desktop-level hardware is also found in their laptop products such as this memory.
Domination is a fitting name for this series of RAM, which by the very way it looks, it's got something special going on. With top bar and piping that can be customized to maximize your cooling needs for your memory, a top-notch design, and the CORSAIR name backed by its lifetime warranty, there is little that can be said about this memory aside from it being perhaps the very best that money can buy for your desktop.
In two 8 GB chips, the potential for even 32GB of memory is possible with this series, and it stands to be the very best for your next build - if you can afford it. RAM is the short-term memory of your computer. It's where your computer keeps track of the programs and data you're using right now. Shopping for RAM can be confusing, though. Is RAM latency and timing important?
It acts as a middle ground between the small, super-fast cache in your CPU and the large, super-slow storage of your hard drive or solid-state drive SSD.
Your system uses RAM to store working parts of the operating system temporarily and the data your applications are using actively. RAM is not a form of permanent storage. Think of your computer as an office. The hard drive is the filing cabinet in the corner. The RAM is like an entire office workstation, while the CPU cache is like the actual working area where you actively work on a document. The more RAM you have, the more things you can have quick access to at any one time.
Just as having a bigger desk can hold more bits of paper on it without becoming messy and unwieldy as well as requiring more trips back to the filing cabinet to reorganize. Unlike an office desk, however, RAM cannot act as permanent storage. The contents of your system RAM are lost as soon as you turn the power off.
Losing power is like wiping your desk clean of every document. SDRAM is what this article discusses, too. For most desktops and laptops, RAM appears as a stick that you can insert into the motherboard. Unfortunately, there is a rising trend for super thin and light laptops to have the RAM soldered to the motherboard directly in the interest of saving space.
However, this sacrifices upgradability and repairability. It is highly unlikely you will encounter SRAM in general usage, so it is not something you should worry about. Though the two RAM form factors use the same technology and functionally work in exactly the same way, you cannot mix them. When you are buying RAM, the first thing to figure out is its form factor.
Nothing else matters if the stick won't fit! While all desktop RAM generations are the same physical size and shape, they aren't compatible.
To stop any confusion, each RAM generation has a notch cut in the pins at different locations. That means you cannot accidentally mix your RAM modules up or damage your motherboard, even if you buy the wrong type. DDR2 has been well and truly superseded, but you can still buy it in limited quantities to upgrade older machines. Otherwise, DDR2 is obsolete. DDR3 was released way back in However, it runs a lower voltage and has higher timings more on RAM timings in a moment , so it isn't compatible.
Since then, DDR4 use has steadily grown to the point where it now accounts for around 80 percent of all RAM sales worldwide. New posts New profile posts Latest activity.

Apr 29, 1 4, Mar 16, 1, 0 5, That's what I have been gathering in my research, however I still don't get it because as time progresses there will be even less demand for it since there will less working DDR2 PCs that can handle a 4GB stick than there are now.
Seems to me, it would be a better business strategy to unload it sooner than later at a higher price, but not x times the price of 2GB stick lol.
