CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 675 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-5400c4

Pros: Fast and cool. Great overclockers.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I overclocked this RAM to 900MHz with an Abit AB9-PRO and an Intel E6700 2.66GHz O/C to 3.6GHz. Runs dual core Prime 95 solid for hours without raising the RAM voltage. 4-4-4-12 under 900MHz, 5-5-5-15 at 900MHz.

Pros: perfect system run great , my system uses 4g total i have 4g of corsair memory this is the only memory i will by again it is the best.

Cons: none

Pros: It is good when working

Cons: After a little over 1 year of use it just got died.
Computer did not turn on.
Happily, only one stick broke, and I used remaining till ordering new 4 gigs memory (frankly, it was the time to upgrade)

Other Thoughts: I understand that current memory is upgraded at least once in a 2 years, and I do not expect 10 years of working. But 1 year is a too short lifetime.

Manufacturer Response:

We will be happy to replace your failed module. Sorry you had an issue.

Pros: Looks like XMS. Feels like XMS. But leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Cons: I have used this before on the P4M900 Biostar motherboards with great success. But this last set is different in some way and wont always load windows after a successful post. I took an older set and put them in and they post and load vista without fail. This set might and might not even loosening the timeings wont help and increaseing dimm voltage wont help. Just eratic behavior. This new set of ram is not equal to the last several sets I have had. They were reduced to the point they aren't worth sending back. I'll just throw them in my junk drawer for a later try on something else.

Other Thoughts: I noticed that the older set states 1.9v on the label and the new set shows 2v. I've tried settings from 1.85 to2.08 with no more reliability. It has loaded the os at 4-4-4-7 cr2t and at 5-4-4-12-cr2t and 5-5-5-15-cr2t and it has failed to load the os at all those settings at a range of voltages. The best luck I had was at 5-4-4-7-cr2t @ 1.98v this lasted one day then failure again. Frustrating. Time to go back to kingston.

Manufacturer Response:

Pros: This Corsair RAM works great and boosted the memory in an older Core 2 Duo system. Corsair is always high performing and highly compatible.

Cons: Price, I guess. For a few dollars more, you can get 4 GB of faster RAM these days. That wasn't the case back when I got this.

Pros: pluged and played perfect no problems, i now have 3 gbs, this and another pair of .5gbs no problems with them performance is great!!! no heat problems or doa just a great product.

Cons: quote from an email send by corsair a month ago.....
"Please allow 8-10 weeks from this date for the processing of your rebate."

Other Thoughts: 4 stars.... i want my money corsair!!!

Pros: Deff worth the money, you can't really complain about these guys, they make solid RAM.

Cons: I didn't buy more =P

Other Thoughts: I will continue to make CORSAIR my primary source for RAM.

Pros: Almost doubled my RAM. Makes working in After Effects a breeze!

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: These were supposed to up my RAM to 4 gigs but it's only registering 3.37. Maybe I have configured something wrong somewhere

Pros: seems to better then older computer... upgraded from athlon xp to dual core.

Cons: with both chips install pc wouldn't boot.. fans would start only... turns out one of the two chips were faulty - runs fine with one but not the other.

Pros: as what title says. it works as memory card
and works good with games.
nothing more i can say when it's doing what it suppose to do.

Cons: i heard some people receive it as DOA.
the package seems very cheap.
not hard sealed plastic cover.
imagine opening your package with your memory card flying around in the box.

Other Thoughts: great memory card. and great company, it was made from
