Finally DDR3 is starting to come down in price. Even better, the latencies are starting to come down and the performance is going up.  All is right with the world.  Patriot Memory has just sent us over a 4GB kit of 1600MHz memory with latencies of 7-7-7-20.  I'm pretty excited to see how the performance of the kit is going to be so let's just jump in and see what happens.
