a good team becomes important for the scores. When a good 2D overclocker teams up with a good 3D overclocker some records can come by to say “hello”. With Whom do you overclock with predominantly or is it a solo effort mostly? In the past I used to overclock almost three times a week with RBUASS, and it was like that for 2 or 3 years. But since he got really busy with his job and then I started at mine we stopped being able to bench together regularly. Lately I’ve being able to match my busy schedule with joe90br, so for the last 2 years he is the overclocker who I’ve benched with most of the time. How often do you have overclocking sessions?

What is the best thing about working at Kingston and do you have any input when it comes to products? The best thing about it is having a deeper understanding of the technology development process. Also being made aware of all the challenges that need to be overcome in order to have a successful product launch. Since it is part of my job to know in depth all product lines that Kingston has, I feel really lucky working with all current and future technologies related to RAM, flash, audio and peripherals. Not just reading and listening to others talking about it but being able to provide feedback about ideas, projects and acces to prototypes. Now that you have inside knowledge about Kingston & Hyper X products, what do you think makes them better than some other competing products? It begins with its origin. Kingston is a private company owned by two guys that truly love technology. They understand it and they know how it should be developed. Thanks to their efforts Kingston is one of the greatest test development companies. By developing our unique way of testing hardware, control
