Bjorn3D takes a look at the G.Skill DDR3 1600 Triple Channel
With Core i7 ready for the vendors, memory vendors are hitting the shelves with Triple Channel DDR3 kits in a big way. We wanted to get a few kits tested and the information out there for early adopters. The early kit we got from Samsung running at 1066MHz was just a glimpse at the future of DDR3. Bandwidth was looking great with the lower speed kit, but we wanted to see how sweet it could get.G.Skill DDR3 1600 Triple Channel Review
It's getting pretty sweet with some kits touching the 29GB/s bandwidth mark. Those will most likely be the expensive high end kits and with the initial investment of Core i7 hitting the pocket hard, what does the average Joe do? G.Skill sent us a 6GB kit of their DDR3 1600MHz Triple Channel RAM. The 6GB kit runs $279.99 right now but they have a 3GB kit that runs $149.99, and a 1333MHz kit that runs $109.99. All the kits are timed at 9-9-9-24 and run at 1.5-1.6v, so they have something to offer every segment of the market.
