I have 4 gb of this Corsair memories (4 x 1 GB) installed in my EVGA 680i motherboard and I'm having excellent results, I would strongly recommend this product as one of your buying options, the price/value relation is very good

Everything you expect good ram to be. Its fast, its fairly well priced,
and its of upstanding quality.
Vary good stuff if you plan to be using it for animation or video game stuff.
Right now, its on a ASUS P5W DH DELUXE board, with 10000 RPM drive,
3.2GH Intel D940, 8800GTX video card.
Over all the system looks fairly great.

Initially I had some troubles when paired these sticks with the Asus P5NE-Sli motherboard because some tweaking must be done in the bios: set voltage to 2.178v and timings to 4-4-4-12-2, rest in auto and disable sli-ready memory. I found this on the Corsair Forums, which is quite useful.

These memories are capable of overclock up to 900-950 Mhz without relaxing the timings, and can reach up to 1200Mhz with proper cooling and timings of 5-5-5-15-2.

They benchmark amazingly: Using Everest Professional Edition comparison, always reached the first 4 spots, including two number ones.

You can't go wrong. In fact, I just acquired my second pair for Windows Vista Ultimate 64 (remember 32 bits OSes can't use that much memory).

What's to say about memory when it works? Not much except that these are also easy to physically handle for installation. Like H. Shabab (above) I too am using these in a P5W DH Deluxe. From the Asus manual it's not clear whether this precise model was validated by Asus. Nonetheless, my set works flawlessly.

It really beats my Kingston 667 by a far margin. I am using it with my Asus M2N32 WS Professional motherboard with FX-62. Previously i am using kingston DDR2 667 2GB (1x1). But after replacing it with corsair 800 DDR2 i feel the real performance boost in multitasking and rendering.
Great memory for its price.

one of the most gratest memories, but the nigative point is the cover (box),since it is very cheap one,so it is not safe cover and easy to break while shipment and may affict the memory chips.

speed ram, no need to take above 800MHz with 4-4-4-12, 64Mx8 DRAMS this is the best in the market..

I've had this RAM for a little under a year now and have had absolutely no problem whatsoever. They work perfectly and you can use every bit of those 2GB (not like some where they won't let you use more than 1.8GB of their capacity or something stupid like that). At any rate, I'd highly recommend them for anyone who is considering adding RAM to their computer. And $50 for 2GB is a GREAT price. When I got them, they were around $120.

This ram is some of the best I've used. I especially like the EPP, it basically gives you a guaranteed performance setting as well as a modest setting to save power. Haven't had a single problem with this memory on an Abit AN9 32X.
