Pros: Appears well made; tailors itself to other memory installed; Corsair website helps to find the right memory for your computer
Cons: Rebate; expensive as compared to 6 mos ago – knocks off one star.
Thoughts: Have an AMD 9750 quad with 4 GB memory in slots #1-2 and wanted to go to 8GB. It is important to install compatible memory in the other slots – i.e. slots #3-4 were empty.
I have 64 bit Vista which can “see” 8GB of memory.
I searched through multiple sites to obtain quality memory and was not happy with the confusing results. I searched the Corsair website and they have a “memory search”, where you enter your computer model and they give you matched memory that is guaranteed to work with your computer. Then it was easy to find what I needed. The result was the all my memory ran well and I can use all my 8 GB memory.
I don’t mean to confuse those who are less technically inclined – the point is that all memory is not the same and to just stick any DDR2 memory into your computer will guarantee an unhappy end user. It is hard to match up the correct DDR2 memory without knowing a lot of hidden details and for most end users it is easier to just go to the memory manufacturer’s website to look up compatible memory.
Overall: Very satisfied.
Technical stuff: AMD 9750 quad with 4 GB memory @ 800 MHz 6-6-6-18 timing, 1.8v in slots #1-2. 64 bit Vista OS which runs all 32 bit software I have thrown at it and can run old 16 bit software and DOS games with DosBox! Only a 64 bit OS can use more than about 3 GB memory. This Corsair 2GB x 2, dual channel, paired memory, with timings of 5-5-5-18,1.8v is faster memory than my original installed memory and I was concerned about the timings. The result was that all my memory runs at 667MHz and a timing 5-5-5-15, so it is very close to the original memory installed but not as fast as it can be. I do not intend to over clock and will not change out the slower memory because of cost concerns.

Bought to upgrade my custom built PC. Installed in a snap, booted fine, used memtest and memtest+ and it passed with flying colors! Hope to get [...] back quickly, but Corsairs always been good for that in the past. Highly recommend to others, especially if you need RAM at low voltages.

Installed easy and Windows 7 had no issues recognizing the new memory. Went from 2gb to 4gb and can notice a decent improvement in Windows 7 performance.

Made a giant difference in my computers speed, as I see it saved me from buying a new computer. the difference was that much! I went from 1 gb to 5 gb with the 4 gb upgrade. You must know a little bit about computers to install yourself, otherwise plan on having the expense of having the geek squad or someone like that install for you. Glad I purchased, sad I waited so long till I finally bought the extra ram!

I bought this RAM for use with an Intel DG45ID, and I have had absolutely zero issues with it – and you can’t beat the lifetime warranty. I like the heat sinks: they are effective without being oversized or gaudy. While the Corsair name costs a little extra, based on my experience, I would readily recommend this RAM to anyone whose motherboard has it on the compatibility list.
