Patriot Viper Xtreme DDR3-2000 6GB Triple Channel Memory Kit Review

DDR3 has really taken off in the past year and it only seemed like a little while ago 1333MHz DDR3 was the standard, but now it seems like 1600MHz DDR3 is now.  While the 1600MHz memory is fine for most people us enthusiasts want the fastest memory possible for our system to run at its best.  Today we will be looking at a very fast memory kit from Patriot.  It is their Viper Xtreme PC3-16000 (2000MHz) 6GB triple channel kit with timings of 9-10-9-27.  Let’s take a look at this kit and see what it can do!
