When compared to the Patriot Extreme PC8500 modules
The Kingston HyperX PC28500 kit is over £70 more expensive
From the research i have done on these modules
They are not completely stable when overclocked above their rated speed.

This is the third HyperX memory module kit that PC Freaks & Geeks have reviewed to date, and they have always performed under pressure and produced some exceptional results. The HyperX modules feature the mark of quality with the Kingston name stamp an...

Kingston Hyper-X PC2-8500 Kingston has put together a quality PC2-8500 kit at a great price. Their new DDR2 heatspreaders are functional and look great. I had no issues getting these DIMMs up and running at their rated specifications. The modules have...
At first I thought it might be an error for Kingston to send me four 512mb sticks instead of the two 1GB sticks that I requested, but honestly, It turned out just fine. This 4x512mb kit(s) has been rock solid while testing with my ASUS P5B Delu...
Being one of the very first manufacturers to break the DDR2-1000 barrier on the DDR2 platform, Kingston are certainly on to a winner with their HyperX PC2-8500 range.Capable of speed up to DDR2-1150 on a motherboard with limited voltage options, the Hyper...
Abstract: Kingston's 2GB overclocking DDR2 kit is one of only two kits in the group that are rated to run above the usual 800MHz speed. The modules' PC2 8500 rating means they should run at 1,066MHz. However, we couldn't get them to run stably on our test PC at ...
Abstract: Although this is an overclocking kit rated at 1,066MHz, its performance in our tests was disappointing. Its mediocre benchmark results mean that youll get better value if you spend a little more on an alternative option such as Crucials CT2KIT2566...

Alla fine dei test le conclusioni sono evidenti, le Kingston HyperX PC2-8500 sono tra il meglio che il mercato offre in questo momento. Certo esistono diversi brand che adoperano i chip Micron D9 GKX e che sono molto competitivi, ma fino ad ora non ave...
Design und Verarbeitung machen eine gute Figur und die Übertaktbarkeit spricht für die Qualität der Module. Mit einem Preis von derzeit etwa 45 Euro für das 2 GB Kit, ist der Speicher auf jeden Fall eine Kaufempfehlung wert. Aufgrund der etwas höheren...
zu den Kingston Modulen. Unser Test hat gezeigt, das diese sich nicht nur äußerlich ähnlich sind sondern auch sonst einiges gemeinsam haben. So ist zum Beispiel bei allen Modulen das SPD gleich programmiert. Und auch wenn die Leistungsdaten...
