Kingston Ram?

How good is this? as i found this is what i have...Cpu-z comes in handy. Probably not very good though, as the stores around sell it for cheap...

Well I used to think it was the king of all ram before I got edumicated.

It's okay ram, but not the best out or anything, are you looking to upgrade?

How good are those? Well, look what I'm running at and you'll see. Sincerely, better than those Crucial Ballistix Tracer sticks I got a while ago.

Decent, but not the absolute think me thinks. They can overclock. But not THAT high. Hope you get the idea.

They're not bad, Kingston is one of those manufacturers that will always be reliable. They more in the mainstream market though, they can't really offer anything competitive in the performance market.

If you are on a budget, I'd recommend Kingston RAM still. They are cheap, and they get the job done quite well. And not so many applications benefit from high memory speed, anyway. Then again, maybe it's just because I found my Kingston HyperX sticks so much better than my Crucial Ballistix sticks.

i've always used Generic sticks, only anal fools use the expensive crap, companies like Veritech, which commonly sell as generic sticks produce perfectly good overclockable ram.
