Cons: It doesn't cook me breakfast

Pros: It works with a Striker Extreme
Comment:
Ram is ram... but Corsair is worth saying something about. I had a set of these die on me after two years and while waiting for the RMA I purchased another set from NCIX and will now have 4GB. Corsair's RMA process is awesome. No hassles, quick and easy I got approved by RAM guy on the forums and got a RMA # quickly. They were out of stock so I had to wait two weeks for them to make some more but thats ok. Oh and I have had lots of problems with ram and striker extreme's... this RAM works flawlessly with this board.

These are a great product. If you are running a 32 bit OS you might as well max it out at 2 x 2GB, and these fit the bill.Good memory for the price

Cons: No overclocking potential, at least what I experienced.Rebates

Pros: PriceFast timinglife-time warranty
Comment:
Well, you get what you pay for, if you plan on overclocking your ram don't get these. These are good if you're on a budget though, I got the advertised timing of 4-4-4-12 with v2.1. On a budget, don't need to oc pass ddr-800? These are perfect for you then. Otherwise I'd get something better. Overall, this is good ram with tight timings. If I had the extra cash i would get something better though just for the option to oc if I needed to.

Comment:
I had one set of this RAM overclocked at 4-4-4-12-1T at 2.1v, when I installed the second set this morning, my computer first didn't start windows, and then when it did, it froze. I then set it back to default and it works perfectly.

Comment:
I used this in the mini-DTX ECS board with an Atom processor.They popped right in and made themselves comfortable. They have been running 24/7 since installation, and have been rock solid. I am very pleased with this purchase, and recommend this for the average/budget builder.

Cons: slow

Pros: cheap, nice heat sink
Comment:
The RAM does work with 4-4-4-12, but you have to run it at 2.1V. Default speed is 5-5-5-18, a bit slow. It also has little room to overclock, the RAM failed easily at 870, while a pair of OCZ 4-4-4-15 runs fine on the same system.

Pros: Very reasonable priceGreat timings at stock
Comment:
OK, amidst the current overclocking mania, I hear that these modules don't overclock as well as others, but I can't say one way or another. I was looking for a brand name pair that had good specs at stock since I was not planning on overclocking. I've used Corsair's XMS modules before and been pleased with the quality and performance, and when these were offered on sale I couldn't resist. The price was very reasonable compared to my last pair, even before taking the rebate into account. BTW, I received my rebate after about 8 weeks, no fuss, no muss. A very good deal, indeed.I installed them and they worked as advertised. I'm not a big fan of benchmarketing, so I can't offer any insight into the performance of these modules versus others, but for the price they work as per specs at stock settings, so I have no complaints.

I got this on sale for cheap and have no complaints so far. I ran memtest for over 30 min and had no errors. I kind of regret not getting more ram though. So I might get another one of these for 4 GB in the future.

Cons: -Needs to manually adjust voltage to spec

Pros: -Fast timing-Cheap-Black heatsink
Comment:
When I first put these two into my DS3L, it didn't boot. And then when I tried to put only one stick at a time, one stick booted and the other didn't. It turns out that I needed to go into BIOS and manually adjust the voltage to 2.1V, and then it booted with both sticks in. I was lucky that one of the sticks worked, and I also had a spare stick of cheap RAM especially for this purpose. Other than this, it does what it does.

I bought this memory for a htpc I've been building. At the time I got a very good price and I cannot complain about its performance. I've done some overclocking and it handles that pretty well, especially with an after market water cooler. Definitely a good choice for a budget minded buyer.
