Almost two months ago, AnandTech took a look at the Hercules Dynamite TNT2 Ultra and decided it was worthy of the prestigious AnandTech Editor's Choice Award. What made the Dynamite TNT2 Ultra so popular? The default clock rate of 175/200 (core/memory) and further overclocking ability was the key that led to us branding it as "the fastest TNT2 in existence."
