I recently did an unboxing of ocz's 8 gig RAM kit and so I figured I'd grab
0:06
their 12 gig RAM kit as well basically the only difference between this and any
0:10
other ocz RAM kit that is covered in Gold shiny heat spreaders and comes in
0:16
blue and orange packaging is that it is a lot of RAM it used to be that for the
0:21
Practical Enthusiast 12 gigs was the limit to what you could put in any
0:26
gaming system whereas now that you can buy 4 gig dims so these are 1333 mahz C9
0:34
1.65 volt this is very consumer oriented specs now you can buy 4 gig DMS at an
0:40
affordable price point so an Enthusiast could potentially put up to 24 gabes of
0:46
RAM in one system that is mostly the point of this video I'm just uh talking
0:51
a little bit about it because these are actually priced quite reasonably as of
0:55
the time of releasing this video and so if you wanted to if you're waiting for
1:00
the time to pick up some cheap 4 gig sticks of RAM this is probably the time
1:05
for it they are going to continue to get faster now every time we see a new
1:10
capacity we see sort of it we see it introduced at a very mainstream speed at
1:15
very mainstream timings and it's not all that impressive But as time goes on and
1:20
the binning processes get more complex we're going to start to see 1600 1866 or
1:26
even higher 4 gig dim so this is really the beginning of a new new thing for 4
1:31
gigs and uh for having overall higher memory capacities in consumer systems
