I've owned this for about 3 months now and works excellently. I will be buying 4G more in a few months time. Corsair is an excellent product. |

I'm not sure what this ram is running at. When I boot, it says ddr1066, but when i check the bios it says ddr800. One thing i know for sure it is compatible with my msi p45 platinum MB |

Comment:
You have to run this memory overclocked, it defaults at 800MHZ. Very misleading, and even overclocked, it didn't even bring my Windows score up. Still at 5.4 in Vista. But very stable overclocked. |

Cons: none to mention
Pros: Works well and OC not bad I am running 8 Gigs on a Gigabyte mobo with a Phenom II 940 they stay fairly cool but would recommend adding a cooler! Comment:
These chips run as advertised with a little help from the bios! Latency is good and you have the goodies there when you need them! I would recommend this RAM especially if you can get it cheaper on a price match as I did! |

Cons: timings are a bit slow
Pros: Run coolthey dont look that great Comment:
They look kinda cheap, and the timings are on the slow side. They oc fairly well, not the best, but not the worst. The run relatively cool, but that is most likely due to the fact that i have a ram cooler. I have yet to try them with out it, so i can't comment on how warm/cool they would normally run. |

Cons: doesn't run with my configuration a posted timings
Pros: Corsair reliablity and quality Comment:
This is good memory. I would recommend it but don't expect it to run at 1066 unless you have a very specific setup. I could get it to run at this but not as stable as 800mhz. Run Memtest86+ overnight to make sure you have no errors. However, this is rock solid ram. |

Cons: Non so far
Pros: Price when bought on sale Comment:
Like others have stated, not much to say it is RAM and works as advertised. I put in 4GB into a budget build and it seems to be working fine. I would certainly buy again. |

Comment:
I purchased this along with an Asus MB M3N-HT Deluxe, I researched this to insure it was compatable with my MB. Corsair said it would be, but Asus did not show it on it's list of campatable memmory. Asus did show the same model except for the last digit as being compatable, so I took Corsairs word it was compatable. It is supposed to run at 1066, instead it is running at 800, if I try to tell my bios to run at 1066 it runs at 400. If I try to tell my bios to run at the recomended voltages, speed, and timing my pc refuses to boot. The software that comes with my MB does not even recognise it as being corsair memory. Not very happy about this memory. I should have spent a few bucks more for OCZ |

Cons: None so far.
Pros: Cheap, Reliable, Works great. Comment:
Picked up these for budget gamer build, works just fine no problems with anything, very pleased at speed. I have bought 4 gigs of the older model of these and have in another computer in my house and so far no problems with them either. Corsair is pimp. |

Cons: have to mess with settings to get 1066
Pros: easy installation, heat sink, decent price for 4GB. Comment:
So far, fairly pleased with the purchase of this pairing. I decided to upgrade my RAM to 4GB with my Asus M3A in order to speed things up a bit and multi-task better. Figured 1066 would be the way to go, but I neglected to check the M3A user manual first and 1066 is only supported with AM2+ CPUs and I am only running a X2 4200+ so no 1066 performance right now. Still had to adjust setting a bit on installing. |

Cons: 2.1v
Pros: Works at spec Comment:
Not much to say, it's RAM. It works at the advertised speeds although if it actually stated clearly that it was t2.1v that would've been appreciated. This review was modfied by poster @ 10-10-09 12:08 PM |

Cons: I would have prefer a lower timing or lower voltage from this chip. At Cls5-6-6-6-18, amd seems to prefer lower timings for overclocking... I think.
Pros: It's stable and it looks attractive. No errors reported. Comment:
Bought these to start my summer with a new desktop and thought these would nice because at 1066Mhz, it would give me a better overclocking advantage when I plan to do so. These chips are the DDR800 5-5-5-18 counterpart but with higher voltage at 2.1v, that explains why their timing are now 5-6-6-18. Other than that it's very good and I'm happy to have them. |

Cons: none really
Pros: Cheep Works as expected without a hitch Comment:
This worked like a charm and as expected. I used this for a gamer Pc and it did the job prety well. I got no complain what so ever. |
I love this company's products, and they are usually great. The last two or three things I have ordered from them have had one or two defective sticks in the bundle. I don't order in large bulks for RAM, so it was a little upsetting to see... But when you have a perfect working set, they run great.
