3.0 out of 5 stars Beware what revision you get for OC, May 15, 2007

This review is from: Corsair XMS2 2GB ( 2 X 1GB ) PC2-6400 800MHz 240-pin DDR2 CL5 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit - TWIN2X2048-6400 (Accessory)

This ram comes in flavors from revision 1 to I believe revision 6 (the latest revision I heard about..). I believe after revision 3 or 4 they started using Promo or other crappy memory chips instead of the really good Micron chips. The cheaper ram chips run OK most of the time but the real draw back is that they have shorter life and most importantly DO NOT overclock well at all. So, unless you know you are getting an early revision of these sticks, don't bother. If you really want a memory from Corsair that just runs at stock speeds, then you are better off with the slightly more expensive CL4 versions anyway since they are so much faster.

This is perfectly good ram. It works perfectly. However, it is NOT 5-5-5-12 timing! The actualy timing, as printed on the module, is 5-5-5-18! Be aware of this before you order from this page.

After shopping around, this seems to be the most affordable RAM per GB. I have purchased 2 of the two packs, and both arrived in good working order. I have been running them for a couple of weeks now, and all are stable. Note: I can't vouch for any overclocked performance, have only been running stock.
