An Excellent Deal

Two sticks were installed a Foxconn N570SM2AA-8EKRS2H AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI motherboard. They were recognized by BIOS and were running at 800 MHz @ 1.8v.
As mentioned by another review, the heat sinks are pink in color, but I have a closed metal case so it's a non issue. The heat sinks feel substantial and well made. Having 4 GB of memory at 800 MHz really made a difference in my game load times.
I will be purchasing another set very soon before New Egg realizes what a great value this memory is and increases the price!

Good Lord, these memory modules are hermetically sealed in a clear titanium plastic like substance. Have sharp scissors, a chain saw and crow bar available to reach the geeky goodness that waits inside.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Took Effort to get it working

Cheap. Got it to work after some effort. Looks like it is even cheaper now than when I bought it.

Finicky RAM? Had to underclock to Cas 6 to get it to work in dual channel mode. I have noticed some other reviewers could only get it to run in single channel mode. If this happens to you try change to Cas latency 6.

With Biostar TA690G after replacing working 2GB patriot ram with this ram had random reboots in XP, Vista 64 bit had wierd constant hissing sound coming from speakers.
I could not tweak RAM settings to get problems to go away. Memtest however always passed on this RAM/board combo. Seems RAM adversely affected chipset? Other Patriot RAM I have does NOT cause these problems.

With Biostar TF7050-M2 memtest immediately causes reboot unless I force to single channel mode or run only one stick by itself. And yes either stick works fine by itself. Got dual channel mode to reliably work in memtest after underclocking RAM to CAS# Latency to (tCL) 6.0 and Command Rate (CR) 2T.

Now seems to be running reliably underclocked.
