Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC Unbuffered DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Server Memory Model KVR1333D3E9SK2/8G

Pros: Kingston RAM, very affordable, fills the weird ECC/UDIMM niche required by some server boards. Slim DIMMs. Kingston wrote the book on quality memory, they just have been out of the spotlight.

Cons: A heatsink would be nice.

Overall Review: I haven't used much Kingston RAM in a while, it used to be all that I would use. I think this was a board issue and not a RAM issue, but I had to install 1 DIMM at a time for it to recognize all 16GB, otherwise I would only get 8GB in any configuration. If you are having that problem though, start at the top and work your way down 1 DIMM/boot/check bios at a time.

Pros: I am a newbie to bulding machines. I used 16GB of this in a ASUS M4A98TD PRO/USB 3 board. Paid $US 135 for each 8GB pair. 16 GB total. Bought from New Egg. I do not over clock and run everthing as standard. I am on Fedora 14 as an OS. Works just fine. This memory is on the Kingston recomended list for the ASUS mother board.

Cons: None really.

Overall Review: I did use a Anti-Static strap and mat. Habit from my Hewlett Parkard days, but that we like 23 years ago!!!! Eeek I am getting old.

Pros: I took a chance buying this set of memory for my server build, using the Supermicro X8SIA-F motherboard with an Intel Xeon LGA1156 X3470 processor. This is not on the short list of approved RAM from Supermicro for this board, but nothing that Newegg carries is. It seems like Supermicro only did very limited testing, but I lucked out this time. The board booted right up. Changed a few things in the BIOS. Test-installed a few 64-bit OSs (EON, Ubuntu, and Windows 7 Pro), and no problem so far. Just want to share this with you in case you are considering using this series of motherboard for your build and you are struggling with memory choices. I did, and I would have appreciated this information myself.

Cons: Price -- At $166 for 2x4GB, it is pretty steep. Well, what do you expect? Any time the word "server" is mentioned, the price automatically goes up 50%. Even so, unbuffered memory is still cheaper than registered memory. For my use, I don't need registered memory.

Overall Review: I am thinking of buying one more set of these when the price comes down. The X8SIA-F board can take up to 4 DIMMs of Unbuffered ECC memory at DDR3 1333 speed. Another set will max out the RAM capacity of 16GB. This motherboard can take up to 24GB in 6 DIMMs if you use registered memory, but it will only run at 800MHz. So, I traded capacity for speed.

Pros: Works at spec'd voltage and speed. Lifetime Warranty, Workin' on my Phenom IIX6 1100T

Cons: It would be nice to have a couple LEDs

Overall Review: Thuban 1100T stock cooler, A4M89GTD-PRO/USB3, these sticks and an old Patriot Warp2 SSD. Wow! At 3.8GHz, with all cores running, I got some Corrected Errors shown on the console. With the stock speeds, no errors. This is with EDAC_MM_EDAC=y and EDAC_AMD64 as well as edac-utils installed. The temperature sensors are SENSORS_JC42=y and they read correctly. My board's BIOS has a "MAX" setting for ECC params which will check errors and do background scrubbing, including the cpu cache? Woohoo!

Pros: Great memory and would buy again

Cons: none

Overall Review: People, for the love of pete(can't use the real word cause newegg filters it) please review your manufacture compatibility lists before buying. If I read one more review of how memory sucks because you didn't read the instructions... on second thought keep buying, thats how I get great prices on open box motherboards. Carry on.

Pros: All 8 GB recognized on DELL T110. Added to existing 2 GB 1066 memory. System detected 12 GB. System much more responsive. Surprising improvement in SMB performance. Prior to installing memory, getting 65 MB/s Reads 55 MB/s Writes from Windows 2008 Server R2 Software RAID 5 4x1TB Samsung F3. After upgrade, 85 MB/s Read 75 MB/s Writes.

Cons: First try failed. 1 Bad Stick. RMA with Newegg was painless.

Pros: Seems to work fine with kernel 2.6.36 and edac-utils. So far (after a month) no errors have been reported. I have two sticks (8GB) on an ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3.

Cons: no cons-- it works as expected

Overall Review: Since the price was reduced, I might buy two more sticks. I use lots of memory to compute and render extremely high resolution images.

Pros: works in ASUS P8B WS mobo.

Cons: non, works as advertized.
