Kingston has never let me down

I've had a lot of experience with Kingston RAM and haven't encountered a bad flash drive yet. I always do a full memtest on every new machine or after buying RAM and indeed these 2x4GB sticks passed all the tests with flying colors. I've also had this RAM since around January 15, 2012 (that was the date of purchase anyway). I just never got around to writing a review. This memory scored 7.3 in the Windows 7 Experience Index, at least when I tested it about a year ago. I don't actually use Windows, but I prefer using Arch Linux with my /tmp as tmpfs, regularly editing multiple 200MB images, running Eclipse in the background along with Firefox with too many tabs open, and I am too regularly Since several VMs are running, I regularly use all 8 GB of memory. So if there had been memory issues, I would have noticed. Unfortunately, my Samsung 3 series laptop has a maximum capacity of 8GB, in case any of you are wondering why I don't have double or quadruple the storage space on my computer. Moral of this story? Make the most of your laptop's storage because I foresee a future where a friend's face will require at least 4GB of storage to run two tabs at the same time. These two tabs get the most out of all twelve cores in your i14. Well we're almost there =/ Update now before it's too late. Yes.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later
