Introduction:

There are a lot of big names that come up when talking about high performance DDR memory these days, like Corsair, OCZ, Kingston, Geil, etc, but to be honest a name I was totally unfamiliar with was Kingmax. That all changed the day I received 2 512MB sticks of Kingmax Hardcore Series PC4000 DDR RAM.
