The demands on memory have changed significantly over the years. From being a component that no one was really aware of, to the desperate ‘need for more' when DOS games made us all want to run a series of ‘fixes' to try and release more RAM for playing games.
Right now, we're living in a DDR3 wonderland, where even high quality memory clocked at decent speed – doesn't cost that much.
For the KitGuru Best Value Memory Award 2013, we're actually going to use the excuse of a small change in module colour to allow us to re-award last year's winner.
Despite all of the various modules that have passed through KitGuru's Labs in the past 12 months, nothing has clearly moved the Kingston HyperX Beast memory from number one spot.
According to the Steam Powered Survey for the end of 2013, the single most popular configuration is now 8GB and the HyperX Beast kits do offer an 8GB option.
The specific kit that we're going to honour is the Black PCB update – which Kingston launched to celebrate 10 years of HyperX, back in June.
Sure, you could save some money by going with a lesser brand, a smaller amount of memory or slower timings – but it is a false economy. If you are an AMD APU user, the extra in-game performance you will get from having plenty of high speed memory available will enhance the frame rates.
Read our review over here. The Black PCB update arrived slightly later, and you can see the gallery here.
According to KitGuru Labs, the Best Value Memory for 2013 is the Black PCB Edition of the Kingston HyperX Beast 2,400 8GB Kit.
