Comment:
Operates Outdated I have had a set of these operating in my Q9550\Giga udp3 set up for about two years now no challenge. Purchased an additional set to up my ram to 8gb. Figure it wouldn't be on the market a lot longer and I had some gift cards to use up. Following about of day of running by way of memtest all sticks came back fine.

Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X4096-6400C5 4GB DDR2 2X2GB PC2-6400 DDR2-800 CL 5-5-5-18 240PIN Memory Kit
Cons:More expensive that DDR3 memory right now - that's always the way with "trailing edge" memory though

Pros:Very stableJust works
Comment:
Corsair makes very stable memory. This replaces 2 X 1 GB sticks of DDR2-667 memory, which maxed out my old board. My new board supports up to 4 GB so I maxed it out again.The old Corsair ran for years and years without an issue, you just never have to think about it really. I trust that this new, larger, faster Corsair memory will be the same. It has so far - no issues.I can't say I've noticed a difference between DDR2-667 and DDR2-800, and it's not like I was entirely running out with 2 GB of memory, it's just that this gives me extra room should I need it.I'm not overclocking so I can't comment on that.I did forget about 32-bit vs. 64-bit OS though, and Ubuntu came up with 3.2 GB of memory after I installed this. Whoops. When the new Ubuntu version comes out I may switch to 64-bit but for now I've just installed the PAE kernel - works perfectly and recognizes 3.9 GiB of RAM.Very good memory!

Corsair memory is rock solidNo complications right after ten monthsVery good for overclocking None that I can see The price of these sticks fluctuates greatly on newegg. If you wait a though you can get them for fairly inexpensive.I have these operating on a EVGA 750i SLI ForTheWin motherboard and the method is incredibly stable.

At Stock settings this RAM will preserve up with whatever you can throw at it. Runs a bit high on Voltage...1.8V per stick, but you get a great set of 4 GB DDR2 RAM. I will be acquiring one more set really soon to upgrade my rig to 8 GB Total. Price tag dropped a bit soon after the 30 days of my buy, but it was nevertheless worth it.

It operates, pretty fast, no efficiency issues at all. When I bought it there was supposed to be a ฮ rebate, but I sent it in and by no means heard back or received something. It wasn't expensive to start with, but there had been superior alternatives for the similar cost.. I wouldn't have purchased this if I knew they had been going to steal an added ฮ from me.

Works fantastic and rapid till it's died. Just occur about three days ago and my Pc preserve shutting down and message about "Memory Management". Attempt to reinstall Windows7 about haft way and hang. Now I have to use Memtest v4.20 to test the memory and show, there are tons of errors. Over 1 month I don't feel I can return to neweegg, could have to speak to Corsair. Nonetheless great Memory thought, I got two sticks about 4 years ago and still functions excellent with no issue. And I feel this is a last time I obtain Memory.

Comment:
These sticks of RAM are quite excellent whilst they are working but.. I purchased four sticks about 1 year ago and now every single single 1 of them has some sort of error that causes my personal computer to bluescreen if I do something even remotely RAM intensive. I sent my sticks to corsair and it has been about a week and an half and they haven't gotten back to me yet. I would have thought their consumer service was superior than this Hopefully all goes properly and they send me replacement sticks that don't die a year immediately after I put em in my pc.

Comment:
I have 3 of these kits, and the working sticks are great. 1 stick in 6 came entirely dead, can't even start out a memtest with out lockup. The ram that works rocks, but it entirely sucks that they can't check this stuff before sending it out. That goes for ALL RAM. It's incredibly pricey, and the amount of men and women who get bad ram is crazy.

Comment:
Bought this to give a friend's older 780G system some extra umph. Definitely not at DDR3 pricing, but still not extravagantly overpriced either.I am very pleased with the ram, and always enjoy Corsair products due to their customer support, warranty, and quality.Highly recommended.

Cons:Value RAM from anyone is a con, don't buy value RAM, buy this stuff, the extra couple bucks is well worth it, so is the warranty.

Pros:It's Corsair, so it's quality, and for DDR2 it's cheap AND available for older mobos.
Comment:
Does the job, can't OC this RAM on my mobo, no voltage control, but it has not failed me yet and I doubt it will. Corsair makes quality RAM, this RAM was recommended to me by the overwhelming majority of forum members for my mobo, they were right, rock solid.Prime95 for an hour, no errors, going from 1GB in XP to 4GB in W7 has improved my gaming experience immensely, frame rate in all games has increased dramatically. Only thing that changed was my OS, XP to W7, and of course the extra 3GB of RAM. Games that played at 80 to 100 FPS now play at 180 to 250 FPS(TOCA Race Driver3 specifically), all other games have at LEAST a 50% increase in frame rate.Well worth the money for an older system/low budget gamer.

Seems to perform, when the work. Just past the two year mark and going on my second set of replacements. So I guess going by that, will be replacing when a year. When I built this this program I chose Corsair for the reputation. My wife desires a new pc and wont let me construct her 1 because of the high failure rates of this and the seagate harddrives i employed. Major names dont always mean dependable i guess.

Definitely None Need to be bad luck, of the 1500+, I get a set of poor dimms and not to mention once, but twice. The RMA that was sent back did not work either. The shipping is killing me. Either Newegg or Important ought to have to spend for shipping when their merchandise do not meet their standards.

When paired with my Intel Q8300, the program runs amazingly smooth. Games run perfectly, programs open and perform as they should and the heatsinks on the memory keeps them nice and chilly under load. None so far. Had a bit of an issue with the shipping. Just go for the UPS 3 day and save yourself the trouble of dealing with DHL when obtaining the "Egg Saver".

Works as advertised, 24ǝ. Have two sets bought ɲ months apart; they perform together as one would anticipate. 1 module of 1 set DOA; Newegg RMA'd that set promptly. Replacement set works perfectly. Happens to the very best of us. ALL PCs need very good clean power and sufficient cooling; most failures come from not undertaking this. Finest bet is to use power supplies with at least the next Greater power output rating than your mobo documentation suggests, and to supply the finest CPU, memory and bridge cooling you can install. If your machine is an air breather, preserve it CLEAN inside.

I have this ram for over year now, and it hasn't let me down yet. Watch out for the heat although, mine tend to get hot after lengthy quantity of intensive work and gaming, but also i have all for four slot filled with ram. The cost, when I purchased this it was about 55 dollars. The price tag only went up over the years, which to me make no sense to me. Now that DDR3 is out and has been for a although, the expense in imo must go down. That is ddr2 800 ram can be seen as a down side, this ram is stable if you more than clock them, I no longer more than clock ram due to the fact that i have 6gb of ram and machine is older, with amd 6400+ cpu.

Works fine, no problems. Fast. Xp 32 only recognizes 3GB, not a problem if you have 64 bit os. I don't know anything about memory, so I couldn't tell you what timing I use. Utilizing with evga 780i.
