Systems Comparison

When I reviewed Kingston’s HyperX Beast memory kit last year, one of the things that I praised it for was its astonishing level of bandwidth for the money. Whilst we typically see 1600 or 1866MHz memory kits being used in pre-built systems, the 2400MHz kit that is inside the Vanquish 230XT helps to bridge the performance gap.
