Four sticks for the price of two? The computer memory market is split into two broad camps. On the one hand you have what we'd term the generic crowd, where price is the ultimate determining factor. These sticks often come unadorned with heatspreaders and feature JEDEC speeds and timings.

A second camp is aimed at the enthusiast, and more recently, ones that like to play with RGB lighting. Almost every DIMM manufacturer has an RGB-laden kit in its arsenal, and the latest series arrive with full-width lightbars and near-infinite customisation through manufacturer-specific utilities.
