The Firaxis IT team got the classic Compaq Deskpro 386 running with the help of "some creative salvage."

Over the past 25 years we have seen the transition from SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM) to DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM, and then to DDR2, DDR3 and DDR4 on a cadence of five year cycles. Currently we are using DDR5 on both AMD and Intel platforms at monumental speeds up to 8,000MT/second at 4,000MHz. That may sound impressive but the obvious question is how much attention we should pay to our RAM rather than, say, our CPU, motherboard, graphics card, SSD or cooling. To address that question KitGuru has recently had conversations with Dan Ragland of Intel and Martijn Boonstra of AMD about the role that memory plays inside your PC. Once we had listened and learned we lined up a selection of DDR5 kits from Corsair and gave them a run with Intel Core i5-14600K and AMD Ryzen 7 7700X to find out exactly what is going on with the memory inside your PC. 00:00 Introduction 00:51 The Corsair Memory Kits 02:13 An Educational Crash course 03:39 Dan From Intel speaks to Leo 04:57 Martin from AMD speaks to Leo 06:48 Leo, 5 memory kits and two test systems 08:32 Manufacturers QVL lists - full story? 10:13 MHZ and Mega transfers ? 11:30 EXPO / XMP - or more? 13:22 Leos takes a closer look at the kits 16:26 Performance Test Results 18:17 Gaming Test Results 20:38 Leo’s Closing Thoughts The Corsair DDR5 kits are: £220 Vengeance RGB White 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5-5600 CL36 XMP £310 Dominator Titanium First Edition 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 EXPO £195 product Dominator Platinum RGB 32G...
