Does the job - watch for voltage!

Good fast memory. Works well with my P965 board.

Make sure you set the correct voltage in the BIOS, or the board/system will not start. Most boards default Vdimm to 1.8V whereas this needs 2.1V. This was very annoying until I figured it out.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Corsair is cutting corners...

Runs at 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1V with no errors in memtest 86+ on my Intel 975 XBX2. Should be fine for your average user.

Probably not for overclocking. Corsair pulled a bait and switch. They used high quality Micron D9 ICs in the early revisions that were sent to reviewers. They then switched to garbage ProMOS ICs that you typically find in el cheapo RAM so they could make more money. This is extremely deceptive and scummy on their part, and probably explains the high defect rate that others are reporting with this memory. I only learned about this recently, and feel a little bit ripped off.

The rebate is nice, but at its core this is basically value RAM that should already be cheap in the first place.
