Back to Back

   The Kingston KHX6400D2LLK2/2GN Memory Kit is exceptionally well labeled and decorated. Some memory makers only decorate one side of the memory but Kingston goes all out in the looks department.

   Having the complete specs, including recommended voltage, right on the sticks is also a big bonus. Trust me, I've got a ton of memory here and few to none actually list any kind of voltage on the sticks themselves (or packaging for that matter).

Installation:

   Well, I'll say it just like I've said in my many recent memory reviews, installing this memory kit is just like installing any other memory kit. The only real thing you need to be aware of is installing them in the correct slots for dual channel mode. You can do that by simply consulting your motherboard manual, or even the manufacturers website.

   In my particular situation, using the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe, I could put both sticks in either the yellow slots, or both sticks in the black slots for correct dual channel operation.

   When installing a completely new memory kit, I also find it helpful to reset your CMOS before booting up for the first time with a completely different memory kit. Especially if you were currently in some strange overclocking mode when you last shut down. It just might make your life easier.

Whole Shot

   Once installed, power up the system and head straight to the BIOS. Set your memory voltage to 2.0v and the timings to 4-4-4-12 @ 800mhz and you're good to go. Since this particular kit utilizes Enhanced Performance Profiles (EPP), here's a quick BIOS shot of what that will look like to you, if you're using a compatible chipset, like the new NVIDIA 590 SLI MCP.
