Patriot PC3-15000 1866MHz DDR3 Memory Kit

Introduction:

From just about every angle possible, all the major DDR3 memory producers are throwing out some extreme frequency kits all vying for the performance crown. The honest truth about that crown is that it's often short worn and changes heads more often than Britney Spear change's her extensions. However, this doesn't rob that title or it's prestige by any means. As a matter of fact, this kind of competition continually raises the bar urging the development of better and better memory kits. And as long as this keeps going, you'll keep getting those coveted modules everyone talks about.

Right now, you can find a few different 1066Mhz DDR3 kits which are currently the best price if you're on a budget. The more extreme enthusiasts will reach for the 1600MHz kits which are also capable of 7-7-7 memory timings. If you are really willing to pay the premium, you can find some very serious 1800MHz DDR3 kits at places like Newegg that are obviously intended for one thing, overclocking! I guess if you really like to sport the top of the line memory modules whether you overclock or not, it's still considered to be extremely "pimp".

Well, I was sitting here one afternoon contemplating what could possibly be any better than an 1800MHz DDR3 memory kit that could help me melt down my E6600 and whichever motherboard to further compliment such a feat. To my surprise, Patriot Memory stepped up to the plate in good form with something better. As if 1800MHz wasn't plenty of speed right now, this team has been busy finalizing and currently offering the Patriot PC3-15000 2GB Kit. If you calculate that out (which can sometimes cause headaches), that's 1866MHz of raw memory frequency. How much memory bandwidth and performance does that offer? Let's go over the specifications and then find out.
