Introduction

Choosing the right memory kit for you isn’t easy nowadays – especially if you factor in the recent hike in memory prices. It’s getting harder to decide just what is value for money, and what is cheap and nasty. Patriot’s 6GB (3x2GB) 1600MHz CL8 Vipers for X58 systems are reasonably priced currently at £150.00 Inc VAT (£120 before the memory hike) which is supposed to offer the enthusiast speed and performance, but without the price tag. Aggressive pricing – but are they actually aggressive?
