Pros: This is some great ram. I have it running at ddr2 1066/5-5-5-15 2t with only 1.8V. Completely stable. Going from cheap Corsair to this allowed to turn down the voltage on my processor as well while keeping the same speed. At stock speeds of 800/4-4-4-12 2t, it benchmarked at 9.2 gb/s. This compared to the Corsiar at the same timings and speeds which got 8.6 gb/s.
Cons: Can't think of any. I'll see if rebate comes back, haven't had any rejected yet this year.
Overall Review: This is at the top of its class when it comes to ddr2 ram right now. Tests have shown it running as high as 1245, but I'm happy with 1066 right now so I haven't tried. Maybe in a couple years when I get what will be at the time a cheap Intel.
