I had a chance to run a kit of G.Skill F3-12800CL7T-6GBPI Memory, Tri-Channel kit for Intel Core I7 CPU’s, through some tests the past few days.  Before I go into all the results I want to touch on the market for these kits. If you do a search on Newegg you come up with 36 [...]

So you’re sitting a few second away from the end of your world record run of 3DMark2001 and the graphics card isn’t even chilled – you’re so hardcore you’re letting the poor GeForce 4 Ti4400 sweat it out with air cooling. Everything’s going smoothly until halfway through Nature when suddenly your framerate drops through the [...]
