APH Networks checked out the Silicon Power Xpower PC3-19200 2x8GB DDR3 RAM A quote from the article:
The Bible in Ecclesiastes 1 says, "'Meaningless! Meaningless!' says the Teacher. 'Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.' What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever." With the Intel Skylake motherboards and latest DDR4 RAM beginning to make an appearance in our labs here at APH Networks, I have finally come to the realization -- after a year of Haswell-E being on the market -- the days of DDR3 is finally behind us. Being an avid computer enthusiast since my elementary school days, I have witnessed the rise and fall of the original SDRAM, followed by the first DDR, DDR2, and now, DDR3 memory. As generations come and generation go, I still remember my first DDR3 RAM review back in 2007. It was the OCZ Platinum PC3-12800 Enhanced Bandwidth 2x1GB, a brilliant pair of memory in its time that will knock a whopping $500 off your bank account. Over the years, I have reviewed many more sets from pretty much every major manufacturer. Fast forward to today, in a time where OCZ is owned by Toshiba and does not even make computer memory anymore, I sit here, almost eight years after I wrote my first DDR3 RAM review, with Silicon Power's Xpower PC3-19200 2x8GB dual channel kit that retails for about $140 at press time in front of me. After a moment of silence to remember all our wonderful memory we had with DDR3 RAM in the last eight years -- no pun intended -- let us move ahead and see what the company has in store for us in what is most likely the last DDR3 review ever here at APH Networks.
