Pros: Access times are incrediable and there are absolutely no delays.

CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C9

Pros: Outstanding performance on my Vista Ultimate 64-bit based system. After updating the OS and all drivers, I tweeked BIOS settings to XMP mode which automatically adjusted to 1.66Vdc, 1600Mhz and 9-9-9-24! Mobo and memory are a good combination.

Cons: Price needs to come down about 20%.

Pros: My system power requirements and reliability were the most important to me and Seasonic has met them all. I'm impressed with the Active PFC and fan control to maintain spec performance and still stay quiet. Next system will have a Seasonic PSU.

Cons: Price could come down about 40%
