Cons: I had to change the bios speed of the memory to run the new ram with my old ram
Pros: On saleeasy installationfaster game load times Comment:
Great deal for the price. I upgraded from 1gb to 2gb for gaming and i really notice a difference in load times. It also helps with OS boot times. The only problem i had was the speed the RAM was running at - every time i loaded TF2, the game would crash until i changed the speed to 333mhz |

Cons: budget ramWon't overclock very well.. If any.
Pros: cheap1 gig of gaming goodness Comment:
Well, I took the plunge and bought this stuff.. Then I find out that my motherboard may not like this stuff. Msi k7n2 delta 2. To my delight the ram works like a charm. Before you buy it though, make sure that you check the compatability of the ram to your motherboard.. And always shop around... Overall I'm happy with this purchase to upgrade my old athlon xp 3200 and so I will buy this again Just wish there was some overclocking headroom on the ram.. On my set, I couldn't even run 202 FSB. Oh well, the nvidia nforce unlocked chip is just as good.. This review was modfied by poster @ 04-21-08 06:04 PM |

Pros: ddr pc 3200 Comment:
I am very happy with the Corsair Value select PC3200 1GB 2X512MB DDR400 kit. I am watching for these to go on sales so that I can buy another set! I don't overclock and I have had no issues with these. A great deal for ddr memory.I would buy again.. |

Cons: bought 10 sets (of 2), 2 of the sets had bad RAM in them. One machine wouldn't even finish posting (kept cycling with memory errors), the other got a lot of memory errors in windows when various benchmarks were run. When replaced with memory from one of the other sets, both machines were fine.
Pros: Inexpensive Comment:
Very dissapointing. 2/10 defect rate, or one in 5 is horrid. RMA'd the two sets that had bad memory in them, but time was wasted, and I looked bad infront of a client. Awaiting replacements now. |

Cons: It should have written on it "PC3200". You may need to know later.
Pros: 1 GB is 2 x 512 MB simple Comment:
As per every memory RAM, they are hard to install. I added this memory to improve SKYPE VIDEO. SKYPE needs a lot of memory. You cant go wrong with CORSAIR. |

Cons: no heat spreaders (?)
Pros: Good valueNo errors Comment:
Bought this back in March for 100 dollars shipped to my door. Yeah, it has gone down in price since than, but even back than it was quite the deal.I have had no problems with the memory, though I run it stock as I use it on an old HP d530 CMT - so no overclocking here.I use this kit and a kit of 1GB x 2 DDR400 OCZ RAM together and no problems - everything running in dual channel.Ran MemTest86+ for about 10 hours when I got it and no errors.Nothing to complain about. |

Cons: So far NONE
Pros: Latency and PRICE. Comment:
I am a pc technician, and these chips I have to admit I was a little scared of the Value sticker. Turns out great performance and GREAT value. After bench tests this ram performs as good as the best at a low price. I am a fan of UT3 and running this ram with a XFX 8800GT XT 512mb on a ASUS A8N5X mother board and a Athlon 64 X2 3800 Processor you can still light up all the eye candy without purchasing a $3000.00 machine.

Cons: I really haven't come across any yet.
Pros: Great Price. Very Stable. Comment:
I bought these to bump my computer's ram from 1 to 2 gigs. So far they have been stable and have given me a noticeable performance boost under Windows XP. I would happily recommend this Corsair ram to anyone running a slightly older HP machine. When these are on sale they make for a very nice inexpensive upgrade. |

Cons: not pretty like the more expensive version
Pros: Price for dual channel Corsair memory Comment:
Great value for this RAM. I purchased esentially the same RAM but with the pretty caseing covering the RAM a few years ago at triple this cost. I would rather pay a lower price for great ram that is not pretty, than pay a huge amount for the same ram that has been incased to make it look like it is worth alot. Who stares at RAM anyhow?Corsair makes great ram and I have never had any issues with any computer I built because I use Corsair RAM. |

What can I say about these.....Corsair is excellent RAM....great compatablility, great price.I bought these to boost my RAM to 2GB.....only sad thing to me was my other Corsair ValuRAM (2 512MB) had 16chips and these new ones only had 8 chips.....but they have been working great and stable with the 2 16 chip sticks I have. |

Pros: Great ram works fine. Comment:
Purchased this ram a little too early. Ram dropped in price significantly a couple weeks after. The ram worked fine dual channel. Didnt try to overclock it or anything but performs at stock as expected. Was compatible with my Abit P4 board. Great price on dual channel ram |

Cons: Can't go any higher than 500 MHz...
Pros: Cheap, low latency, overclockable (for slight overclocking) Comment:
I bought this kit when it was on sale...its good...cat didn't try to eat it this time (pweeefawaf...or w/e) for the money this is good, lower latency than that stupid Kingston stuff makes it a steal... |
I buy that ram 4 year ago for my motherboard at that time that's was the best ram for the price i could buy
