January 3, 2007Join the memory race
Overclocking your processor is so 2006. In 2007 all the cool geeks will resort to overclocking their memory.
But if you're one of the wannabes who can't even compile his own Linux kernel, Patriot Memory will help you to look cool nonetheless – at the right price of course.
Patriot plans to unveil the world's "fastest memory" at CES next week. The firm's RAM chips will run at 1302Mhz, making the 1111Mhz Corsair DHX look like unsalted peanuts.
What does 1302Mhz memory get you? The manufacturer promises superior gaming performance. But you better prepare for an inflated power bill and a heating problem on the side as well.
Overclocked memory is the penis enlargement of the computer industry. It looks great if you want to brag to your friends, but it's highly unpractical.
