After DDR4, are Kingston likely to move into Spintronic, Memristor, Magnetoresistive and the newly released Phase-Change Memory? It’s new-age memory backed by the sound of Enya!

Hyper-X Enya, that’ll work, right?

I was slow on that boat. My first HyperX’s came in 2006. Been a fan ever since (have 12GB of the stuff in my rig at the moment).

When I got into this hobby during the heyday of AMD’s Socket 939, one of my first upgrades when I first got bitten by the overclocking bug was installing some Kingston RAM. 2 x 256MB DIMMs, no heatspreaders, but I had no fear exploring their capabilities (I think I hit CAS 2 on these things) when I aimed a spot cooler on them.

Kingston will always have a warm place in my heart, just as it did on my old A8N32-SLI Deluxe.

Heh…I remember having a pair of 256MB DDR400 sticks… I bought them for the super-low CAS latency, then OC’ed the crap out of them. Hyper, indeed! Hard to believe how long ago that was.
