Pros: Was cheap at the time I bought it thankfully. Nice heat spreaders and awesome looking.

Cons: Doesn't run as advertised.

Other Thoughts: I set the timing to 4-4-4-12 as advertised and up'd the voltage to 1.96 volts on my ASUS P5K/EPU motherboard and it black screened. at 5-5-5-12 @1.96 votls no problem. 4-4-4-12 @ 2.0 volts same results on this motherboard. This was the QVL ram suggested by ASUS so I set it to default settings and will run it @ 667 mhz which it seems to like best.
I will buy this brand again but certainly not for any overclocking system. 4 eggs because it is good ram not great ram.

Pros: Fast, and gets the job done.

Cons: Had problems early on. I could only install with 2 gigs of ram, then had to add the 3rd and 4th afterwards, but this problem has since disappeared. Though occasional memory erros makes me think that there may be a minor problem with one of the sticks

Pros: Solid Memory, no problems.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Had a kit of CucialX that was failing on memtest. I decided to order this kit and plugged it right in and booted the computer up with no problems. Would highly recommend. I had a kit of Hyper X 3200 memory 1 gig that lasted for many many years. Kingston is rock solid.
