Rating + 4 something changed


Pros: Works OK but is not the same as the same product ordered last year.

Cons: Note this memory has somehow changed in the past year. I recently added another GB of memory to my system and the most recent memories caused the BIOS to complain they were not the same speed as earlier versions of the same chip from the same vendor and from NewEgg. I had to do some swapping around to get the BIOS to say it did not have a speed mismatch.

Rating + 5 Helped an old machine live another day


Pros: This was for an older XP machine that had been disused for a while because it dragged when used. The memory made all the difference. Bought this along with an inexpensive Video card to use as a HTPC/TV gamer. It really made a huge difference.

Cons: None known

Other Thoughts: Keeps old machines productive

Rating + 5 Good Memory, BAD REBATE


Pros: • The memory is excellent and has performed exactly as expected. Corsair memory is top-of-the line, even its value sticks.
• Can't beat the price!

Cons: • The current mail-in rebate (as on 12/09) is quite unclear as to its limitations. I purchased two sticks of this item on two different invoices and was only able to receive the rebate on one of the sticks. The rebate terms state only one "card" per household but does not say only one rebate per household . Be warned, the rebate is actually: "Limit one rebate per household."

Rating + 3 What happened to these?


Pros: Price. These work fine if you don't have any other, older chips already plugged in.

Cons: I have the older 512MB Valueselect chips and they're still running fine. I installed these new ones on a customer's PC and they worked so well I almost got them for myself. Then I read David Smith ImChance's review and I thought twice. I doubled checked David's findings on my customer PC and David was 100% correct. These NEW chips are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than Corsair's older chips by the very same name. That's EXTREMELY misleading! You can NOT have these in Dual Channel Mode with the previous chip configuration on the older ValueSelects. I see a Manufacturer reply refuting that but I'm refuting them here. These new chips do NOT WORK IN DUAL CHANNEL MODE IF YOU HAVE THE OLDER CHIPS BY THE SAME NAME!! The chip configs aren't compatible.

Other Thoughts: I guess if you're replacing your chips entirely with these new ones and are happy with 2GB max....these aren't a bad option.

Rating + 5 Very good performance!


Pros: It is rather decent. Gave no problems whatsoever over the range of two years. Memory isn't really something you can always measure performance on, yet it seems to work without a hitch. MemTest86 gives it a full thumbs up, and so do I.

Cons: No problems. Needs a regular dusting like all other memory, but nothing of the ordinary.

Other Thoughts: Just make sure that when installing memory that if all the boards are running at the same speed in Mhz (e.g., 333 Mhz), otherwise a slower one will bring the higher ones down to its level. So, one 333 Mhz will bring two 400 Mhz down to its speed. Unless of course this doesn't bother you.

Pros: Corsair brand. Worked right out of package. No problems what so ever. Bought for client's Compaq "e-machine" & doubled his ram. Made a significant improvement.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: OK. I have placed about 10 newegg orders this year and I don't know if it's due to their financial troubles or what, but PLEASE Newegg, stop shipping by DHL. Orders thru them are the only unpredictable one's I get from you. At some point they hand off to the post office and tracking goes bye bye. You guys made your reputation on shipping, please use a more reliable source and let DHL go.

Pros: Performance and price. An elderly friend had a Dell desktop with 256 MB of memory to run XP Home. I upgraded with two of these sticks to 1 GB of memory and she said it "felt" like a new computer. The pricing is great because with the rebate, each stick costs $8. I can't think of any other upgrade I've ever done for $16 that made such a difference in performance - great bang for the bucks.

Pros: Solid as a rock. Corsiar is an excellent manufacturer and has great web support.
I have been running 2 sticks for 3 years now. I popped two more in and had to do NOTHING else. They work exactly perfect with my well used ones.

Cons: None, they perform flawlessly if used as intended.

Other Thoughts: Valueram is budget ram that can't be tinkered with. It won't take well to timing adjustments and tweaking needed for overclocked CPU's. If you are one of those that loves to tune, step up to Corsairs XMS. You won't be sorry. ;-)

Pros: Had 2 512MB of the same type already in current computer (2yrs Old) wanted to upgrade to a total of 2 gigs so bought 2 of these. Although i knew it wasnt guaranteed that the serial production #'s would be in sync it was cheaper than buying the single 1G kit that had 2 512's in it. Nice surprise when it came in that the serial #'s were in order so i saved some money. Shipping was great and fast... it showed up before the projected ship/delivery date. Good packaging and in original containers. Easy install and still till this date no crashes what so ever and a very nice system speed increase. It used to take several minutes to attempt log out, now its a mere 5 seconds or less... VERY satisfied... thanks Newegg for being here... stores around my area did not carry this earlier version of RAM... Very pleasant ordering experience. newegg made it great and i will come back. I already have my next project in mind... hooking up laptop/desktop to HDTV 1080p. (Cables)

Rating + 5 Great RAM...horrible shipping


Pros: I bought this for a computer I built for my Mom a couple years ago. Installed and booted first time. Great value for the price.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: The Egg Saver shipping is horrible. I waited well over a week for the product to be delivered, and the tracking never worked until the day before delivery. My Dad ordered RAM for his laptop on 7/6 using Egg Saver and has not yet received it. Each time he emails Newegg he gets a different answer as to when the product was shipped. Tracking has yet to work for him. Newegg has been great up to this point for me, and the same goes for my workplace. I guess you get what you pay for.

Rating + 5 Absolutely the best DDR RAM!


Pros: This is absolutely the best DDR RAM out there. Corsair is an awesome company with truly superb products. I've bought over 50 of these chips over the years for many many customers and never had a problem AT ALL.

Cons: No con whatsoever. Click 'Add to Cart' NOW!!!!!!!!

Other Thoughts: If you plug it in and it doesn't work, try unplugging all chips except this, and put it in the first slot. If it still doesn't work, make sure your motherboard support PC3200 RAM. If it still doesn't work, you may have gotten a bad chip, but no fear, Newegg returns are flawless! Like I said in the Pros box, I've never got a bad chip, so just return it and get a working one.

Pros: Well i did recently purchase a whole new duo rig but my trusty amd 939 build couldn't go to waste so i decided improve the ram situation. Now i use as a workstation and general computer use. This memory is easily one of the best I've used and I only expect topnotch from Corsair whether it be its "value" price ram or the enthuasist type. Good timings on this DDR-400.

Cons: None at the moment I could think of.

Other Thoughts: This ram is bargain-priced so it's worth every penny. If you need a substanial improvement in performance, this memory will serve your needs.

Pros: good, when it works as its supposed to.

Cons: well I have bought 3 sticks in the past 7 months the first(12/2007) one I got just failed. the other two I got failed after about 2 weeks the replacemnt for those 2 sticks would not even boot up so needless to say I wont be buying anymore corsair value select ram

Other Thoughts: I had one stick that was value select that ran fine for 3+ years but after 3 strikes (one of them being a xmas present) the value ram is off my list of something to buy in the future im not saying I wouldn't buy the more expensive stuff but I would be very hesitant and will avoid it when possible. They need some serious quality control going on though.

Rating + 5 Excellent RAM


Pros: Very reasonable price, CL2.5 timing, over clocks very well

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I bought this memory to add to two other sticks of memory (512 mb each) that over clocked to 490-500 mhz to make for a total of 2 gig of RAM. This memory didn't disappoint me as it is running at 490 mhz with a setting of CL3. It is doing exactly what I hoped it would. The performance is great, especially considering the price. The motherboard is a Biostar T-Force 6100-939 with an AMD Athlon X2 CPU (2.2 ghz OC'ed to 2.7 ghz). I can't say how pleased I am with the performance of this memory. Everest benches it at 7,119 mb/sec read, 4,868 mb/sec write and 5,420 mb/sec copy. This is very good performance for budget memory.

Cons: Failed over a year later, purchased 2/6/07. Caused random bluescreens and slow performance. Soon as it was removed everything was working. Even tried on another system, which failed to even boot with it.

Other Thoughts: The SECOND Corsair product to randomly fail. I had a 1GB Corsair MicoSD card that randomly decided to stop working. Overall Corsair has left me a very bitter and unreturning customer.

Rating + 1 Horrible--incompatible, crashed my PC


Pros: Seemed to be reasonable price for upgrading an older computer and most other Newegg reviews were favorable. Newegg provided prompt delivery.

Cons: It immediately crashed my Dell Dimension 4550 (533hz) PC and corrupted the BIOS. Reinstalling OEM memory did not fix it and Dell tech support did diagnostics and referred me to Corsair for help on this 3rd party upgrade. Although I selected this memory using the Newegg memory configurator, Corsair said it was NOT compatible and could not/would not assist in fixing my computer. After pleading with Dell, they helped me reinstall Windows for the OEM memory configuration but at the expense of losing critical files. I am still struggling to reload applications and drivers. Dell recommended against trying to reprogram the BIOS to avoid inducing failure of the over 5 year old motherboard.

Other Thoughts: I am not a computer whiz, just a retiree trying to keep an older computer going on my fixed income. I do not know why this PC3200 memory does not work in my computer or why Corsair only recommends 266 Mhz PC 2100. The Dell configurator recommends 512Mb 400 Hz PC 3200 memory for this computer. Since I relied on the Newegg configurator, I asked Newegg to waive the restocking fee and to give a full refund including s/h plus what I paid to ship it back. I hope they will at least do that for all the grief this has been from an incorrect configurator.
Manufacturer Response:Unfortunately installing the incorrect memory can have adverse effects such what you have. We will work with Newegg to try to avoid any incorrect configurator recommendations.

Rating + 2 single side, dual channel


Pros: inexpensive

Cons: Ram stick has the same model number, description and specs as my other Corsair ram sticks, but this one only has chips on one side. My other Corsair sticks have chips on both sides. Can not get this one to run in dual channel with my three other Corsair ram sticks with chips on both sides.

Other Thoughts: I have tried several different Bios voltages and timing settings and it still won't allow the board to run dual channel. If I place 2 single sided sticks in, they will run dual channel.

Don't mix sticks with chips on both sides with sticks on just one side if you want to run dual channel. But there is NO WAY to tell what you will get from the order# or the specs!

Pros: Memory seemed to run fine, no complaints about performance.

Cons: I was adding an addition 1 GB (2 512) to my PC. Unfortunately, the Corsair Memory would not work with the existing Apacer Memory I was running. Both brands were the same memory type, 512 MB DDR 400 (PC3200) 184-PIN

Other Thoughts: Im not sure if this is an issue with the Apacer or the Corsair memory but I tested all memory slots and memory combinations by rotating each memory stick to each slot. The result was; even though it recognized the addtional memory in all cases it would not continue to boot the pc.

I have had issues in the past with Corsair Memory not always being friendly with other brand names.

Cons: Nothing to report to say the least. If you have the extra cash i'd highly suggest the XMS series instead.
