If this ram is so good, why bother in getting the CAS 5 version? I mean, ok, theres the price and then the overclock apart. CAS4 must run as CAS5 when its highly overclocked, and CAS5 can run as fast CAS4 when it comes to bandwith oc. So… is this the same CAS5 ram module or viceversa? I wonder why they dont make CAS 4.5 modules.

Buy this item directly from the seller! I had a VERY SOUR experience and it took several weeks to get the issue solved. Better to go to the local computer store and save on the aggravation!

I ordered two of these, for a total of four sticks. One stick from each was bad, leading to failures in Memtest. I’ve used Corsair memory before and have not had problems, but this batch or version is pretty bad.
Product ID is CM2X1024-6400C5, 2.10V ver 2.1

I’ve tried cheap memory in the past and have always been disappointed. It’s not worth the MB compatibility issues. Get Corsair and you know it will work.
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate and my 2GB memory wasn’t enough. Having already had this exact same memory installed in two slots of the four on my Asus MB, this was a no-brainer. I bumped the total up to 4GB. Windows 7-64 sees and uses all 4GB, unlike 32-bit operating systems that have a limit of 3.
As expected, the Corsair addition made a huge difference in how well Windows ran. I have loads of free memory now even with Virtual PC running XP inside of Win 7.
The Corsair is fast, runs cool, and can be overclocked nicely without worries, if you’re so inclined. It costs a bit more than the cheapo third-world-country-made stuff, but you know it will work and keep working. Corsair is all I use anymore. I highly recommend it.

I already had two gigs of corsair xms2 RAM. These modules, when added, unlocked new EPP performance modes on my motherboard. 10% Ram OC simply by moving a slider. It was very nice. Paid only $50 with shipping for 2 gigs, which was great.
