PNY DDR2 XLR8 PC2-9384 2GB Memory Kit Review @ TweakTown

Comments: 0January 6th, 2008 by Kristofer

NEW CONTENT (Memory) – PNY DDR2 XLR8 PC2-9384 2GB Memory Kit

QUOTE: “Intel still supports DDR2 quite readily, and even X38 and upcoming X48 motherboards will both have DDR3 and DDR2 memory controllers as options on select boards, so you still have the flexibility there depending on what board you get.

Today we are testing out another somewhat unknown company to us; while we have heard of PNY before, we haven’t seen them in the extreme memory range which they are pushing for today with the new PC2-9384 DDR2 memory kit we have been sent.”
