Amazing

Memory runs at 1060Mhz on Intel 965 chipsets. Dont be fooled, Intel 975x chipsets are older chipsets then the 965. The Asus P5B and Asus P5B Deluxe works great with this memory and gives room for additional overclocking. GREAT for the Core 2 Duo Extreme, but would be usesless on any other processor then the Core 2 Duo, unless you want to use pasechange to cool your pc!

WOW, pricy! But cheaper then my girlfriend. To bad that I am not able to marry these chips in New York state.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Slightly upset, 1 chip of the 2 chip set DOA

Fast memory

2 chips of the 2 chip set bad. Was pretty upset because who gets new shrink wrapped memory enclosed in a package to have a DOA chip? Return policy will not allow me to ship the faulty chip back and have it replaced, so I had to purchase a set of the same memory so I can use my new rig in the meantime. I think this sucks but at least I'm up and running. The 2nd set of chips I've ordered are a different revision number. Hopefully all the problems have been resolved.

Be prepared to buy two sets
