This article is literally three tiny paragraphs.

1. "with Avexir togain access to its"
2. "which it saidhelps maintain"
3. The third paragraph is also just two comma filled sentences.

Please look over the article once before publishing.

Thanks.

I think it's a fine article for some quick information about what Adata has planned.

Do people actually want their RAM to flash? I just want my ram to work and not blind me.

Why does everything have to have LEDs on it now? What's next? LED hard drives? LED CPUs? Sigh.

I tend to agree with you here. I like LED lit fans, but I think they're going overboard adding LEDs to what seems like every other component. I've got a Creative SB-Z that has (extremely bright) red LEDs on it., an MSI Z170 Gaming Pro that has LEDs on it.... How many more LEDs do we really need in a case? LEDs work great for case accents, but it's getting out of hand. Eventually we'll be consuming more power for LEDs than for CPUs..... I'm getting ready to remove my SB-Z and start using the onboard Realtek ALC1150 just to get rid of some LEDs....

Ditto that, lights on everything is going way overboard.

For anyone who games at night, in the dark, and keeps their case open, its annoying as hell.

I sleep at night with my computer in my room. I have enough lights on my router and switch to light up my room. No need for more lights on any of my 3 computers. I just want them silent, dark and to do their jobs.

yes, i like to see the load being placed on which sticks and it's also a great way to see failures when a stick fails, if it's led activity lights are tied to it the lights just hang and don't blink. crucial tactical tracers have done this since ddr2 that i know of for sure.
corsair used to have some ddr1 that had leds but i don't know if they were tied to the load activity.

I'm waiting for the military grade tactical RAM that will cause my opponents to soil themselves.

This. If the LEDs actually serve some functional purpose, then I'm in favor of them. Like just to be able to know which programs might be memory-bottlenecked, for instance.

Well, you can buy Mil-spec RAM, but probably the only one soiling themselves will be you, while you wait for your slow computer. Mil-spec parts are hardened against various electrical, mechanical, and radiological stressors, but that tends to make them slow and expensive. And because this process takes time, they also tend to lag a few years behind current tech.
