Still Running Strong

Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 996527

Pros: Been using this memory for 3 and a half years. No issues whatsoever. Heatsink works great. Runs perfectly with my ASUS p5b-e.

Cons: Flimsy heatsink, though I had no issue with this. Just don't be aggressive with it.

Overall Review: This RAM has been so good to me over the last 3.5 years, I'm buying the exact same sticks to put me at 4 gb for my upgrade to windows 7 64 bit.

Fast and Hot

Pros: This thing is as fast as everyone says. Load up times are noticeably swifter. 5 year warranty is awesome. Great for a main OS/application drive.

Cons: Runs pretty hot. Not quite large enough for a media storage drive.

Overall Review: Just make sure you have adequate cooling. I have this 10,000 rpm drive and another larger 7200 rpm drive. On a hot day earlier this week, the case fan blowing on my hard-drives crapped out, and my drives got extremely hot. The 10,000 was almost too hot to touch. Turns out it was irreparably damaged, two of the partitions were unreadable and I was unable to reformat. But really, this is mainly the fan's fault. Just be sure to have proper cooling and the drive should run just fine. The drive was a year and a half old, and was still under WD's warranty, so a new one is coming to me in the mail next week.
