6 GB ram in your computer… Why not use this Dominator product… Well here is a reason… unless you’re using Vista 64 Bit you can only access roughly 3 GB and putting in 6 GB will LIKELY SLOW your machine down appreciably… SO order a 3 GB kit UNLESS you’re using Vista 64bit then get the 6 GB kit… With the Asus Rampage II Extreme it is ultra stable and silly fast… that’s the truth PERIOD

I used these with an Asus P6T Deluxe, Intel Core I7 920 processor and Vista x64. Seemed stable with just 2 sticks, but I never could make it work reliably with all 3 sticks. It would appear to be OK (I could run Prime95 for 24 hours even when overclocked) but the system would crash with a blue screen around once a week, even at stock speeds (no overclocking, memory running much slower than rated). This went on for 6 months while I tried many BIOS tweaks to try to stop the blue screens, but nothing helped.
Finally I replaced the Corsair Dominators with the less expensive Patriot Vipers Patriot PVT36G1600ELK Extreme Performance Viper Series PC3-12800 DDR3 1600 6GB 3 x 2GB Intel XMP Ready CL 9 Non ECC Triple Channel Kit (Blue) and my problems were solved. Solid as a rock with all 3 sticks, even when overclocking, and I’m running them at CL8 even though they’re rated as CL9.
Save yourself some money and maybe some grief and get the Patriots instead.
****Update 7/15/2009:
I RMA’d these to Corsair, and they sent me replacements labeled “Version 2.2″ which arrived about 10 days after I shipped mine. The replacements seem to work fine. But I’m still leaving the review at 1 star because Corsair deserves low marks for shipping me flaky product to begin with, and I had to buy the Patriot replacement RAM because I couldn’t have my system down for 10 days while waiting for a replacement.

The 3 matched modules, running at 1333 on the ASUS P6T6 MOBO with an I7 965 Extreme, work great.

I purchased this Corsair memory kit along with a compatible motherboard and CPU for my 17 year old son. I was told the installation went without a hitch and he is happy (once he got rid of 32 bit Vista and upgraded to 64 bit so he could use all the memory).
