Memory, is like the retaining information, a computer has it consist of silicon die with eight or more black things in its side, in time those it lose some information, yes when you turn of your computer there is no electrical movement to the RAM. Aw…Yes the importance of memory, I mean in the computer type of memory.
The DDR2 has a good history, and the price over the performance is great, that a cheap arse can pick up a 4GB kit of DDR2 memory for about $50 to $150. Corsair adopted the readiness of the DDR2 and made the XMS series of memory, with a higher frequency and a lower latency has some problems with the physical constraints, with the increase of voltage and the heating problem can lead to instability and later on crashes and loss of memory.
The corsair XMS3
With the new DDR3 having more of the feel in the market, the DDR2 is still the more dominant, for its cheap price and better performance to price ratio, and to include with the P35 and E8500, is a good value for about $1,500 computer do It yourself style. But if you mistake yourself buying a P45 or a board that only support new DDR3 memory, and willing to spend whole money to get the fastest memory you would include the Corsair XMS3 dominator series.
Corsair used the same design to the DDR3 memory; with a metal shell with spikes for the purpose of heat dispensing from the memory help it remove the heat so it gives stability and less usage of juice to keep it to high frequencies and lower latencies and if you asked like a special item from corsair alone, is this three 40mm fans to cool for enhanced heat reduction by forcing the cool air to the heat sink and cooling in that way, but not really that necessary if you are going to pay about $145 for it alone with the memory about $513 for the lowest price in any country.
Corsair’s dominator DDR3 go in different product lines: the PC3-17066 for the high-end pre-overclocked memory with 2 GB or the 4 GB kit which is the PC3-16000 for those who can’t find the high-end and to also include 2Gbs more to the system is more beneficial for money reasons.
The test bed and conclusion
The test is astonishing on the performance, with the improvements in heat dispersion of the memory, makes it more stable and coolers when overclocked and in the test in SISoftsandra went better to the DDR2 version of the dominator by just fraction of it, buy if you want to push it even 0.1%, this can be a good deal with the DDR3 in $500.
