Today on the menu we have six impressive looking dual-channel DDR3 memory kits that are designed for AMD and Intel platforms. These dual-channel kits are all price around $100 US for the 4GB version and for our article we will be taking two kits from each manufacturer to compare how they perform when populating all banks...
It was interesting to find that while some memory could achieve similar frequencies and timings across multiple platforms, others could not. The ADATA XPG Plus v2.0 Series DDR3 1600MHz+ for example was quite consistent as its best timings, being CL6-7-6-18, were achieved on the AM3, LGA1156 and LGA1155 platforms. Furthermore it maxed out at 1866MHz on the LGA1156 platform and 1833MHz on the AM3 platform.
