Most Favorable Review

Passed the test

Patriot Signature Line 8GB 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 4800 (PC5 38400) Desktop Memory Model PSD58G480041

Pros: -Reasonable price

Cons: -No fancy heat sinks (cant see into my case anyway)

Overall Review: Nice stability on my ASUS Prime board for INTEL i7 with no overclocking. I just bought 1 x 8GB stick to get my new build running. When the price gets competitive on DDR5, I will add more of these or upgrade to higher speeds and lower latency.

A happy camper

CORSAIR Vengeance LP 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CML16GX3M2A1600C10B

Pros: High stability - Memtest and Prime 95 passed several hours worth of stress testing. Runs perfectly at spec. Motherboard automatically set freq-speed after changing a single BIOS setting. Nice color which happened to match my mboard Price was hard to pass up

Cons: Specs a bit on the slow side for quality memory

Nice! But Base Unstable

Pros: Excellent text and color quality. Very quiet! (My last Acer did buzz when you reduce brightness-I like my monitors near the lowest brightness levels.) Glossy displays have better contrast, sharper text and less obtrusive whites. Decent control set for calibration. 3 Year warranty. VESA 100 mounting holes on back. HDMI if I ever need it.

Cons: Base is short and unstable! If you are using this on a flimsy computer desk like mine. The monitor shakes during routine typing. I purchased a VESA wall mount at another retailer. NOW ITS AWESOME. This enabled me to bring the height up to where it should be. These new wide monitors are shorter which requires a higher stand to be ergonomic. Also it does not shake at all! A 5 egg if the base were taller and more stable.

Overall Review: A glossy display...Do NOT buy this if you have many windows and lights in back of you. The reflections will drive you nuts!
