When it comes to enthusiast memory, Kingston is not the first name that usually comes to mind. Although Kingston markets themselves as the "World's independent memory leader", that title takes into account their desktop, server, PDA, and burgeoning flash memory lines. When it comes to system memory, Kingston's HyperX line offers the enthusiast market some great performance options, however the price generally makes their memory unattractive to those trying to find a balance between price and performance.
