Learn about how TweakTown tests and reviews hardware. PC system memory is always getting faster and faster, especially with the introduction of the DDR3 memory standard. JEDEC has ratified it, Intel ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Okay, so I finally raised myself enough money to build myself my own rig for gaming. While I've completed it and it runs fine, I have one nagging issue - I bought 4 GB of DDR2 1066 but I can't get the ...

When looking to upgrade your PC, RAM is one of the first places to look. More RAM reduces the amount the page file is used, speeding up programs and allowing you to run more applications ...

There is talk that DDR2 memory is nearing the end of its life, and while this could be true to a certain extent, I believe it to be more of the opposite. While DDR3 is on the horizon and will take ...

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 The DDR standard was superseded in 2003 by DDR2, a memory standard offering ...
