Did you notice the recent surge in 2GB dual-channel memory kit reviews? Ever wonder why memory makers are promoting 2GB memory kits now, especially with DDR. According to the information we received, yesterday was perhaps one of the most important days in the PC gaming industry, as the year’s four most anticipated titles made their way to retail shelves: Age of Empires 3, Call of Duty 2, F.E.A.R and Quake 4.

For the sole purpose of getting users to upgrade, many memory makers picked the best timeframe for such marketing festivities.
