Corsair's XMS (Xtreme Memory Speed) memory has long been popular among enthusiasts. Corsair has many such kits, and each is regarded as some of the best available in its category. With 2GB (2 x 1 GB) of memory in dual channel configuration running at 800MHZ speed, this CORSAIR XMS 2GB DDR2 SDRAM System Memory, offers targeted low latencies of 5-5-5-18 at JEDEC standard speeds, overclockable to 4-4-4-12, and it's been certified as “SLI Ready”, giving you some screaming data transfer rates and exquisite renderings.
These modules are made by Corsair using carefully inspected and matched RAMs. Running in dual channel mode, the module provides 12.8GB/s worth of memory bandwidth which happens to be exactly what the dual core Socket AM2 Athlon64 X2/FX processors need. What a coincidence.
This is memory that’ll both overclock and stay cool, thanks to their huge black heatspreaders. This is a great kit for anyone wanting to max out their system’s performance!
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Runs at 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1V with no errors in memtest 86+ on my Intel 975 XBX2. Should be fine for your average user.
Cons: Probably not for overclocking. Corsair pulled a bait and switch. They used high quality Micron D9 ICs in the early revisions that were sent to reviewers. They then switched to garbage ProMOS ICs that you typically find in el cheapo RAM so they could make more money. This is extremely deceptive and scummy on their part, and probably explains the high defect rate that others are reporting with this memory. I only learned about this recently, and feel a little bit ripped off.
Other Thoughts: The rebate is nice, but at its core this is basically value RAM that should already be cheap in the first place.

DOA

Tech Level: average - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I Love Corsair, or rather as of yet have been really impressed with them, but...
Cons: I had a DOA. One of the two RAM sticks I had registered over 13,000 Memtest errors. Sometimes it happens, but here I am one or more weeks with out a computer, and that kinda (Really!) bites.
Other Thoughts: I really wished I would have been one of the luckey ones. Newegg rocks, and I am sure they will take care of me.
We have been doing quite a bit of testing and data collection on this part over the past few days, and are looking for sensitivities to motherboard and/or BIOS revision.
If possible, could you send an email to ramguy@corsairmemory.com, preferably with "Vibez1115 from Newegg" in the subject line? Let us know what board, processor, and BIOS rev you are using. We may be able to help, and the data will be very helpful to us.

Other Thoughts: I bought this memory in 2007 for my rig I was building with a crosshair mobo and worked flawlessly. I just ordered a second set to move up to 4 gig on a windows 7 64-bit platform and all is well as usual.

Great memory

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This RAM has been rocking steady in my rig since I built it in the summer of 2007. It runs stable at 4-4-4-12 2.1V with my Core 2 Duo E6600 overclocked to 2.9Ghz.
I have decided to buy another kit to double my memory with my newly purchased Winows 7 64bit and I'm looking forward for the additional stability when I'm running a lot of memory intensive applications.
Cons: None...it's good stable RAM.
Other Thoughts: As I understand it, this new RAM may not play nice with my old ram even though they are supposedly an identical spec. If this were the case, I would likely return them and eat the restocking fee so that I can get a fresh 2x2 = 4GB kit of something else. This is not a pro or a con, it's just the way it goes sometimes and I'm thankful to Newegg for their eggcellent return policies that allow system builders such freedom.

Awesome

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: I have had this memory since I got my machine. It is VERY reliable and fast. No errors, no failures, speedy, on and on I could go. I have had my machine for 3 years now, and they are still going strong.
Cons: Nothing.
Other Thoughts: If you are making a budget machine, get this ram. If you are making a high end machine... I still recommend this stuff.
