by Wesley Fink on 8/26/2003

In Part 1, we determined the best Memory Configurations for the Intel 875/865 motherboards. Part 2 looks at the fastest memory available from a range of memory manufacturers to find “The One”.

OCZ 3700 GOLD: Building High-Performance Memory
by Wesley Fink on 8/7/2003

High-Performance Memory manufacturers use many tricks to coax the highest performance from their memory products. We look at the some of the processes OCZ has used to turn ordinary Samsung chips into DDR500 screamers...

Searching for the Memory Holy Grail: Part 1
by Wesley Fink on 7/27/2003

One of the questions we are often asked is whether a particular motherboard can run with four DIMMs. With the Intel 875/865 Dual-Channel boards, we are realizing that additional questions need to be raised. Is there a performance difference in two DIMMs vs. four DIMMs? Do single-sided or double-sided DIMMs perform better on Canterwood/Springdale boards? What is the real performance difference in one DIMM, two DIMMs, and four DIMMs?

Weekly Memory & Motherboard Price Guide: April 2001 1st Edition
by Kiran Venkatesh on 4/1/2001

Higher bandwidth memory solutions fall in price once again, it's clear where the market is headed and PC133 isn't it. Find out what the best buys are in this market in this edition of our Memory & Motherboard Price Guide.

Weekly Memory & Motherboard Price Guide: March 2001 1st Edition
by Kiran Venkatesh on 3/2/2001

It's Price Guide time and what a time it is to purchase memory and motherboards. The prices of Socket-A motherboards and the rest of the boards in general seem to be stabilizing. And much to the relief of the memory manufacturers, the same seems to be true about memory. RDRAM and PC2100 DDR SDRAM still carry their premium while PC133 SDRAM is at an all-time low.

Rambus DRAM Part 2: Performance
by Anand Lal Shimpi on 5/22/2000

Last week we took a look at the theory behind the need for a higher bandwidth solution and illustrated that RDRAM was a solution that could potentially fit the bill. Now, we rewind to the present day and see what the current top performing memory technology is and what makes it tick, including the debate of latency vs bandwidth.
