Posted on Wednesday, October 29 2008 @ 23:29 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
Memory maker Kingston rolled out a new lineup of triple channel memory kits for the Intel Core i7 processor, they are available in 3GB and 6GB with clockspeeds ranging from 1066MHz to 2000MHz.
Kingston's HyperX® DDR3 2GHz memory, available now, come in kits of three 1GB modules that are Intel® XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) ready meeting the Core i7 1.65 volt platform recommendation.

"Kingston is excited to bring the fastest DDR3 triple channel memory products to market as we are the first to deliver 2000MHz gaming kits of three with Intel's reduced voltage," said Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager, Kingston®. "All of our triple-channel kits can be overclocked manually or by using XMP-ready profiles. The 2GHz modules have been tested to support up to that speed on ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboards while the Intel DX58SO motherboards have been tested up to 1600MHz."

In addition to the top-of-the-line 2000MHz, Kingston's family of triple-channel kits include 1866- and 1800MHz, and low-latency 1600- and 1375MHz speeds. Kingston ValueRAM® kits of three are also available in 1333MHz and 1066MHz, in 1- and 2GB capacities.
Here's an overview of the new modules and their MSRPs:
