Cons: Not Greatest for Overclockers, Slower than more pimped out DDR2 ram.
Pros: Fast Runs Cool Stable Supreme Company! Comment:
Good Memory for budget builds and enthusiasts who aren't too hardcore into there computers but still want to keep up with newer technologies. Used this type in many different formats and kinds and have had no problems with them at all. Have one pair of older model sitting in comp that has some newer upgrades but would make the ram 3 years old now, still runs pro. Newer model pc 8500 I have in another newer home computer, and have not had any problems so far, and note that I do not expect to see any problems with them. Overall: Good bang for your buck, the only thing lacking is better heat dissapation, which should only matter for o/c'rs and hardcore gamers. G |

Dropped 8meg in and it runs wonderful. Able to push the speed up and it remains stable. Running it on a Q9560 o.c. to 3.8Mhz, 8meg of RAM at 1066 and all is happy and healthy! What more can you ask? only con I see with this memory is heat if you really push it. I have a 120mm fan that moves air right over it so that has not been an issue for me. I would highly recommend this memory. |

Had to make one BIOS adjustment to get memory to run at 1066MHZ. Will be ordering more memory later on. |

Comment:
Great ram with heatsink included runs very fast at 800mhz. I have an asus p5q turbo motherboard and 1066mhz operation is not compatable with this ram. Be sure to check your motherboard compatability table before you buy this ram! All in all great value though |

Cons: None yet!
Pros: Very stable, good price, easy to install Comment:
Plugging these in, the P5Q Pro mobo I was using wanted to run these at 5-5-5-18. Manually setting it to 5-5-5-15 was no problem, and there's been no problems running them. Reliable and efficient, and only $60 after MIR. Not bad! |

Cons: Hard to install on MB when fishing hooks are attached
Pros: Works great as a fishing lure in time of need Comment:
Hey works great on a P5Q Pro with q9550 Proc haven't even dialed in the Bios settings perfectly just yet. Replaces the Balistix 8500 which have become useful as the true fishing lures ;) |

Cons: None really
Pros: Corsair is a well known reliable copmanyPriceStability Comment:
Lost count as to how many of these kits I've use and not once I had trouble with them. I find that Corsair XMS2 series plays nice with any mobo you slap them in to. Always a good choice when in doubt or want stability.These kits were as low as $30 at some point, how can you not love them |

Cons: slightly higher price
Pros: 100% worked for my mobo(read summary) Comment:
I don't really care to overclock anymore as generally if you build your system right, it will handle max settings on all games just fine. As these may have been a bit more expensive then other brands at a final total of $59 with the mail in rebate. It's ram can't say much more about them, except for that they worked 100% with my motherboard: Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P |

Cons: - pretty basic (haven't tested overclocking)
Pros: - low price after rebate- 4GB :D Comment:
Got this for a cheap computer build. No issues. Never tested overclocking though. 4GB and 1066MHz what else do you need? |

Cons: Look
Pros: Great Quality Comment:
Good Corsair memory very stable a 1066 MHZ. Fits perfectly with a Core 2 Duo setup. Very inexpensive for the quality. Not looking as "cool" as other brand with bigger heatsink and all.. |

Cons: Does not work with Asus M3A78-T, so be warned.
Pros: $48 After rebate1066 Comment:
I bought this to upgrade from my 2GB Corsair kit, but turns out to be incompatible with my motherboard; I RMA'd them and purchased G.Skill. This is not a fault of the manufacturer I am sure, so I will still continue to buy Corsair in the future, but will make sure it is on my motherboard QVL.Because this an incompatibliy problem with my motherboard and not the RAM, I will still give it three stars. |

Cons: None.
Pros: Great price and doesn't have unnecessary heatsinks in crazy colors just for show. Comment:
I've had this RAM for 2 weeks now. The first thing I did was set it to its spec ratings of 1066 MHz b 5-5-5-15 at 2.1V, and ran Memtest86 overnight. Not a single error, and it runs relatively cool to the touch. Keep in mind that no 32-bit OS will recognize all 4GB. |
Corsair memory is my best choice. Great ram. Installed 8GB on my system. Good stuff. Good memory. Stable. Inexpensive. Recommended memory.
