today I have something ludicrous to unbox this is the Patriot G2 series
0:13
which as you may or may not recall I recently took a look at a more sort of
0:18
uh downto Earth configuration so this one that I uh I checked out a couple
0:22
days ago was actually an 8 gig 2x4 gig
0:26
kit yep we're done with that here we are
0:29
this is the 8 gig single module which is
0:33
available in single module dual Channel and triple Channel kits but I have six
0:39
total single modules yes Patriot in an
0:44
exclusive industry first groundbreaking
0:47
Manor has released a gaming spec a
0:51
gaming oriented G2 series designed for Intel 6
0:56
series platform skew with 8 gig single
1:00
dims so that means that in my hand right now is 8 gigs on a single module just
1:06
like this these are not like double stacked memory chips or anything special
1:11
like that these are just very very high density modules so here you can see
1:15
these are 1333 999 24 timings 8 gig
1:19
modules these run at 1.5 volts yes these
1:22
are relatively low voltage modules too
1:26
very cool so in my hand right now I'm holding 40 8 GB of memory so that's a
1:32
similar amount of sheer storage space as you would find on an entrylevel SSD not
1:37
that long ago now they're not cheap but
1:40
I just wanted to sort of break this news to you guys that Patriot has 8 gig
1:45
modules and I'm going to be doing a follow-up video where I actually take an
1:49
x58 motherboard and we're going to find out if we can even run six modules that
1:54
is 48 gigs of memory on a single x58
1:57
board and then we're also going to try a z68 board to find out if we can run 32
2:04
gigs of memory on one of those so let's find out how well modern boards accept
2:08
this brand new memory density from Patriot
