Pros: see previous

Cons: see previous

Other Thoughts: In response to my previous review:

Timings are set to 7-7-7-20, voltage set at 1.8V. My system freezes at least once a day. I ran Memtest86+ but they passed fine, so I can't explain why these problems are happening.

Setting timings to 9-9-9-24 somewhat solves the problem. Removing two of my four sticks also reduces problems, but nothing is solving the issue completely.

Manufacturer Response:Greetings,

Pros: They make my computer work.

Cons: Timings did not work as advertised on my computer. It defaulted to 9-9-9-24, but I went in and changed it to she advertised 7-7-7-20. Later on my computer started freezing occasionally and doing a lot of random self-restarts (actually it had the effect of hitting the reset button). I was going crazy trying to figure out what was wrong with my computer, then I remembered changing the timings. I changed back to 9-9-9-24 and everything started working fine again. I'm kinda bothered because I bought these specifically because they were 7-7-7-20.

Other Thoughts: no word on the rebate I was supposed to get.... but we'll see...

Manufacturer Response:Greetings,

Pros: matches clockspeed of my E8500 which is probably a good thing. also, has better latency than most of the DDR3 out there.

Cons: I would be getting twice as much DDR2 for the same price.
