today I have something ludicrous to unbox this is the Patriot G2 series
which as you may or may not recall I recently took a look at a more sort of
uh downto Earth configuration so this one that I uh I checked out a couple
days ago was actually an 8 gig 2x4 gig
kit yep we're done with that here we are
this is the 8 gig single module which is
available in single module dual Channel and triple Channel kits but I have six
total single modules yes Patriot in an
exclusive industry first groundbreaking
Manor has released a gaming spec a
gaming oriented G2 series designed for Intel 6
series platform skew with 8 gig single
dims so that means that in my hand right now is 8 gigs on a single module just
like this these are not like double stacked memory chips or anything special
like that these are just very very high density modules so here you can see
these are 1333 999 24 timings 8 gig
modules these run at 1.5 volts yes these
are relatively low voltage modules too
very cool so in my hand right now I'm holding 40 8 GB of memory so that's a
similar amount of sheer storage space as you would find on an entrylevel SSD not
that long ago now they're not cheap but
I just wanted to sort of break this news to you guys that Patriot has 8 gig
modules and I'm going to be doing a follow-up video where I actually take an
x58 motherboard and we're going to find out if we can even run six modules that
is 48 gigs of memory on a single x58
board and then we're also going to try a z68 board to find out if we can run 32
gigs of memory on one of those so let's find out how well modern boards accept
this brand new memory density from Patriot
