Worked as advertised. Even seems happy running at 1066 speeds next to some older corsair dominator DDR2 1066 memory even though the SPD timing isn't exactly the same.
Price is very high compared to DDR3 now.
My mobo (ASUS) turned timing down from 1066 to 800 when I put these 2 sticks in alongside the corsair memory, so I had to manually crank the speed back up. But the mobo automatically selected timings that worked and the total of 8GB (4x2GB) passed memcheck without any errors at the higher speed.
It's stable at 800. Will not run stable at 1066, it crashes consistently. I am running an AMD Phenom II X3 720 installed on a GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P motherboard with all the suggested BIOS modified settings - still a no go. However, my system runs solid as a rock at 800.
Purchased 1066 memory, but actually got 800 - not a good deal as far as I am concerned.
Do not buy this memory if you are considering an AMD processor. I love AMD processors, but this G.SKILL memory and AMD processors don't work together at this time.
