Socket 478 Exhausted: Pentium 4 With Dual DDR500 Running At 1000 MHz FSB

Kingston HyperX KHX4000K2

The names of the Kingston high-performance modules have some hyperbole : HyperX. Like the Corsair modules, the Kingston DIMMs also only support timings of 3-4-4-8 at clock speeds of 466-500 MHz. Below that, 2.5-3-3-7 is also stable. For lack of any serious applications associated with running only single channel, DDR500, we did not test single-channel modules.
