If you thought having 6GB of memory was impressive you havent seen anything yet. Kingston Technology Company today announced it is first to market with DDR3 1600MHz 12GB triple-channel memory kits. The HyperX kit of three 4GB modules allows enthusiasts to get the most out of their Intel Core i7 and X58 platforms. That means with two KHX12800D3K3/12GX memory kits you can run 24GB of system memory on Intel X58 platforms that have six DDR3 memory slots! At 1600MHz with CL9-9-9-27 memory timings and a voltage requirement of just 1.65v these kits should scream! If the system performance doesnt scream then the $1400 price might. Obviously this kit is not for everyone, but for those wanting 24GB in an Intel X58 motherboard will gobble these kits up.
“Kingston was first to release 2GHz kits and has continued to lead the memory charge with more DDR3 offerings since Intel created the triple-channel architecture,” said Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager, Kingston. “Our latest kit of three was tested with great success on the Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard and runs at a speedy 1600MHz to take full advantage of the memory controller on the Core i7 processor for unmatched performance.”
