Great price

None so far

I bought this RAM to run in my new C2D 2.4GHz system with Vista 64 bit. Vista installed onto my 150GB Raptor in 25 minutes with absolutely no problems. My system is currently running at 3.5GHz (Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 board) with the RAM running fine at 875MHz (FSB 438, 8x multiplier). Have not tried to push the RAM further, and frankly I think this is fantastic RAM for the price. I was originally going to buy the Mushkin kit with the tighter default timings, but I'm glad I didn't. This is the same RAM AFAIK, but around $200 cheaper! =)

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
One out of two

For 4GB of RAM this was pretty cheap. Newegg right on top of things with their return policy.

One of the two chips was defective. Looking on the Mushkin support site, these are apparently also very limited as far as their overclocking abilities. (I'm not OC'ing but I read several negative comments from people who have tried).

I followed all the recommended testing procedures (forum sticky at Mushkin.com). I just got one bad chip. EVGA8800GT, GA-P35-DS3L, Q6600, WD150G(10K), WD640G(7200), Coolermaster CM690, and just ordered G.Skill 4GB DDR2-1066 to replace the Mushkin. I just probably got unlucky. Had decent experiences with Mushkin in the past.
