    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Performance, heat spreaders/heatsink, DDR Dual Channel, runs cool

    Weaknesses:None that I can think of

    Overall Evaluation: I recently built a PC and used 2GB PC2100 RAM. The first game I tried was Battlefield 2. I instantly set it to the highest settings and began playing. It ran smoothly except when moving into a new area or zooming in on things with a sniper rifle. A week later, I received and installed this memory. While only 1GB, this RAM performed significantly better than the 2GB PC2100. Load times in games like Nexus, Halo, Freespace 2, and Battlefield 2 were lowered greatly. Overall system performance is excellent. In the future, I WILL purchase another gig of this stuff. The included memory coolers/heat spreaders/heat sinks (whichever you like to call them) seem to keep the memory running VERY cool. I ran a stress test using MemTest86 for 30 passes. All tests passed with no errors. Memory also installed no problem. Basic system specifications are below: ABIT KN8 SLi Motherboard (nForce4 northbridge) AMD Athlon64 3500+ 2.2GHz eVGA nVidia 7600GS I would recommend this to anyone.

    Duration of ownership: 3 Days

    Strengths: Fastest DDR Memory for the price, Lifetime warrenty, Excellent Quality, Runs very cool at default speeds

    Weaknesses:No heat spreaders (only needed for overclocking)

    Overall Evaluation: When I went looking to upgrade my ram, I decided that Dual Channel was the way to go. I found that out of all the cheapest DDR400 (PC3200) RAM that the Corsair Value Select ram actually had the absolute best timing with 2.5 CAS and yet was still cheaper than Kingston CAS 3 Dual Channel. Hearing all the horror stories about people getting ram and finding out it was faulty, I decided to run some tests. I found the timings to be 2.5-3-3-8, not bad for under a hundred bucks! I ran MemTest86 v1.60 for 43 passes with no errors at 420Mhz. I know I could get a lot more out of it if I wanted to but I don't like to overclock my components. I expect that I will be buying another kit in the future.

    Strengths: Very stable and reliable , Corsair quality and warranty .

    Weaknesses:none found

    Overall Evaluation: Corsair makes some of the most reliable , quality memory available . Ive been using Corsair memory for the better part of 5+ years without a single problem . Corsairs "Value Select" is a definite value without comprimising on quality and matches very well next to the more expensive XMS. I have both the "Value Select" and "XMS" series , and both are excellant .

    Duration of ownership: 5 Months

    Strengths: Fast,cheap,lifetime warranty.

    Weaknesses:None that I can notice.

    Overall Evaluation: This is a good, cheap gigabyte of quick ram that works perfectly in dual channel mode without randomly rebooting like the kingston valueram in my old setup. I recommend this to anyone and everyone. I recently changed timing to 1T to see what would happen. According to Sandra the bandwidth went from about 4800mbs/sec to around 5700 mbssec. I then tried memtest and made it through 2 passes with no errors. Seems pretty good to me.

    Strengths: Less expensive

    Weaknesses:It is PC2700 (333 MHz) not PC3200 (400 MHz)

    Overall Evaluation: After I install the memory, the system memory speed dropped from 400 MHz to 333 MHz on my Dell 4600 PC.Though, it rated PC3200, but it is actually a PC2700 memory.
