The Kingston 800MHz HyperX FB-DIMMs are hands down the most innovative cooling design that we have seen Kingston bring to market. The design is flawless and the modules run cooler than any other FB-DIMMs that we have seen. For those that want even better cooling, simply place a fan on the modules like we did and you'll notice another massive temperature reduction. When it comes to building a high-end enthusiast platform using the Intel Skulltrail motherboard having the right memory modules is critical and Kingston should be the top brand on the short shopping list...

You've got to hand it to Kingston Technology. Few companies offer such a wide range of memory products. Kingston designs, manufactures and distributes memory products for desktops, laptops, servers, printers, and Flash memory products for PDAs, mobile phones, digital cameras, and MP3 players. The company's flash memory range is no exception, covering everything from secure business drives to super-speedy models for enthusiasts. The company's latest product is a little different. The DataTraveler Micro Reader (64x20x10mm, 8.68g) is an all-in-one USB Flash drive and reader that can store, transfer and read content on mobile memory cards. It should be well received by the mobile community as it's a smart single-solution to navigate the plethora of devices and card formats on the market today.

If you're shopping for a robust flash drive that has the added benefit of security and synchronisation tools, the DT400 is an ideal solution. Sure there are cheaper alternatives, but few will help keep your documents and settings completely up-to-date, in sync, and totally secure. The only feature you might want is biometric security, but you'll pay a lot more for this built-in stronghold. Kingston's DT400 is supported by a 5-year warranty and free 24/7 technical support.

Today we are checking out a 2GB DDR3 RAM kit from Kingston's HyperX line. This RAM is a great lower cost kit that performs well and has overclocking headroom. When all the testing was finished the Kingston HyperX KHX14400D3K2/2GN kit performed well. It has some headroom left for overclocking and performs well at the programmed SPD settings. The RAM is also a bit cheaper than some other brands of enthusiast DDR3 on the market.

Getting the Kingston HyperX 2GB PC2-9200 DDR2 memory kit up to the stock speed of 1150MHz was tricky only because it is an odd speed that I couldn't quite dial in with the settings found in the test system's BIOS. But getting into that general range required minimal effort, and even overclocking to well above 1200MHz was pretty much plug and play.

Kingston has been in business for longer then most of us have probably been building systems. Well known for its ValueRAM and HyperX memory lines, as well as some pretty damned impressive flash memory, Kingston knows how to dish up a delectable entr?e of performance and price. Kingston's RAM is renowned for being compatible with just about everything out there, including finicky Asus and Mac boards, as well as serving up some memory loving in the flash drive and PDA departments.

Whether it was in benchmarks, gaming, or every day use, the Kingston PC2-9600 DDR2 kit performed well. Getting up and running at 1200MHz was easier than I expected, and the only effort required was to bump the speed up in the BIOS. Even overclocking was easy, and the test system was able to push these modules to 1280MHz by simply relaxing the tRAS value from 15 to 16.

The technology age is booming, more and more people are starting to travel and use multiple computers. There's got to be a time where you have thought to yourself "Dang, I wish I brought that file with me" or "I've got that data...on my home email." I know I have done that many times, but the DataTraveler 400 has helped me overcome those days of not having the right data. With the included MigoSync software and password protection the DataTraveler 400 is a must have for people always on the go accessing multiple computers.

Earlier this year Kingston released the DataTraveler HyperX series USB drives which are available in three different capacities: 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB. This is by far the fastest USB drive Kingston has produced with transfer rates of 30mb/s read and 20mb/s write. It not only has fast transfer rates, but fast access times as well. The HyperX is enhanced for Windows ReadyBoost and comes with a 5 year warranty. Read on further to see how well this USB drive puts out.

Even though my previous reviews on Kingston Technology products were about their flash division, Kingston still is very much an enthusiast RAM company. Their HyperX series now comes in DDR3 at very high speeds. While DDR3 is still very new, Kingston offers a kit that runs at a scathing PC3-14400 which is 1800MHz DDR. The KHX14400D3K2 is on the bench for review.

Kingston Technology produces all kinds of memory including RAM for a computer to flash memory. Kingston is pushing harder and harder into the consumer flash market. Kingston sent over their high speed SD flash memory for review and the SD2/2GB-U is really fast.

The Hyper-X 8GB Data Traveler is one good option among the droves of lesser on the market. It's nice to see the Kingston Hyper-X 8GB Data Traveler with its larger capacity and its 33MB/s transfer rate. This is basically just as fast as many of the pricier USB 2.0 external drives. Granted it's the not as large a storage capacity, but then no one really wants to haul around their external enclosures.

Kingston is one of the oldest names in the PC world, and they are the largest manufacturer of system memory purchased by third party buyers. I remember hearing of Kingston in the late 1980s, a time when most PCs only had a megabyte or two of system memory, and I used their memory in my first RAM upgrade about a decade later. Recently I reviewed the Kingston HyperX PC3-11000 2 gig kit. Kingston considers it an entry-level enthusiast DDR3 HyperX kit. Today I will be looking at the PC3-13000 HyperX 2 gig kit, which at present, is considered the "sweet spot" of DDR3 memory by some. Will the HyperX PC3-13000 impress us more than the HyperX PC3-11000 did? Read on to see.
