14 DAY TRIAL // It appears that the low prices of DRAM chips have driven prices of modules and kits very low indeed if the newest memory kits from Mach Xtreme really are going to sell for as little as reports suggest.
One could say that the DRAM segment of the IT industry is the one most seriously affected by low demand, to the point where average selling prices are more or less abysmal.
This has led to very affordable modules and kits for both desktops and laptops, though demand continues to be low.
In fact, the standard capacity for mainstream systems has been raised from 2 GB to 4 GB, and this happened a while ago, not just recently.
The sort of prices that products like the ones just now released by Mach Xtreme definitely played a great part in this.
More specifically, Mach Xtreme announced two dual-channel kits which will supposedly sell, once they start shipping, for 20 Euro and 40 Euro, respectively.
They both are composed of two modules each, with capacities of 2 GB and 4 GB, respectively.
The series bears the name of Urban and is RoHS-certified, in addition to being compliant with the FCC, CE and WEEE specifications.
The clock speed is of 1,333 MHz, while the operating voltage is 1.5 V and the latency of CL 9-9-9-27.
It should be easy for most systems to run smoothly, even when multiple applications are opened at once, if equipped with either of these newcomers.
A lifetime warranty backs up both the 8 GB and the 4GB offer and, to make sure the products have the necessary appeal, especially in such troubled times, Mach Xtreme threw in the benefits of XMP support and lightweight, Japanese aluminum heatsinks.
Finally, all modules are 100% hand-tested, which adds another reason to be surprised at how cheap they are.
