Crucial Ballistix Tactical 32GB Kit DDR4 3000Mhz Memory Review

Another review from our very own local memory company, Crucial.  I'm glad to see they are offering large capacity DDR4 memory kits now.  Lets see what Hardwareslave has to say about them.

We have a nice kit of DDR4 memory for review today, and it’s a 32Gb kit to boot, but first, the introduction! When Hardwareslave design and build systems there’s only one mantra, bandwidth. There is literally no point in having an Intel i3 CPU, an old HDD and an SLi set up, it’ll only bottleneck and cause frustration. Likewise, there’s no point in an Intel i7 CPU if you only give it 8Gb of DDR3 for example. These are all extremes, but the point is basically there, you need to provide each component the means to support the IO traffic throughout the entire system. That includes cooling, airflow, IRQ’s, Power Supply Units and even your monitor. It needs to be a balance and have an equal or greater amount of bandwidth than required.

Ummm,  ya...  something like that.  I get that they are saying you need more memory but memory capacity isn't really a cause for bottlenecks.
