Pros: This is reliable RAM at a great price. This RAM performs better than I had anticipated and I highly recommend it. I've been building gaming rigs for several years and usually buy the high end Corsair RAM. I decided to take a chance on this set because of the nice price point, and I have not been disappointed.

I used this RAM along with the MSI NF980-G65 mobo and the AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2G AM3 cpu and it is a solid high performing rig.

Cons: May not have the tightest timings when compared to some higher end offerings, but if you don't plan on doing aggressive overclocking and have no desire to brag about your benchmarking numbers, there are no cons.

Other Thoughts: Works great with my AMD setup and the MSI mobo mentioned above. I cannot comment on how well these will perform in an overclocked system (I wasn't interested in going that route with my current build), but if you want a solid, reliable rig you can't go wrong with these sticks. I upped the voltage to 1.6 on these sticks and they have been performing great with Win 7 64 bit gaming and more.

Note: the stock voltage rating is 1.5 but I typically like to give my Corsair RAM a little more juice and was able to do so without any negative consequences.
