Walton Chaintech Launches 2GHz DDR3 Modules

Hardware company Walton Chaintech has introduced new DDR3 modules certified to run at 2000MHz with timings of 9-8-8-24. The Apogee GT modules are expected to ship as a 2GB dual channel kit, although the pricing has not yet been unveiled. As you can see from the image below, the memory features quite a substantial heatsink covering two sticks.

quick question, can you W/C RAM?

Ok...but what happens if the spacing of your memory slots if different to what they set it to?

Idk hopefully you can move them.

Hopefully, one day we will see a chipset that allows native DDR3 1800 or allow for OC up to DDR3 2000

Holy shet. Soon RAM will pass up cpu's :o
I want dual-core RAM!

Wont these high mhz and ghz Ram sticks eventually create too much heat to expand beyond a certain speed?

I wish they'd rolled out a 2x 2GB kit instead of this. Sure it's got all the world's bandwidth but 2 GB isn't very future-proof. The heatsink on top...is it detachable like the Corsair Dominator fan-block or fixed? If it's fixed then the user would pretty-much end up using just 2 GB on his motherboard because the slot between the two modules would go waste.

So then they'll just create a new architecture, or a new type of RAM.

bullseye, and that's holographic memory. it finds application in both fast volatile storage (RAM) and slower permanent storage (hard-drive)

What, it's not bad for the speed. Roughly equivalent to 800MHz CAS4, but a heck of a lot more bandwidth.

That's some good looking ram (I like how they mounted the heat sink on top), good specs too. :toast:

But what if you had 4gigs? That heat sink would be really damn annoying...

But they can make the ram chips only so small before its impossible to make them smaller without raising the cost extravagently. Am I right?

just cool them. i dont understand why RAM has to be perpendicular to the board anyway, cant you integrate it on to board

If you integrate it onto the board, that would kill expandability vis-a-vis expansion slots.

where the hell are my stars
it would suck if your mobo had an odd mounting setup :roll: they should have just integrated some fans...
