Introduction:
First a little about the company,
Corsair Memory, Inc. This next blurb is from
their website:
"The Performance Memory Leader Since 1994: Corsair has been
a leader in the design and manufacture of high-speed modules
since 1994. Our focus has always been on supporting the
special demands of mission-critical servers and high-end
workstations, as well as the performance demands of extreme
gamers. Memory That Meets The Toughest Demands: As a pioneer
in high-speed module design, Corsair is a trusted supplier
to many computer manufacturers. In high-density memory
solutions, Corsair has always been one of the first
suppliers to achieve advanced qualifications on Intel, Tyan
and SuperMicro server platforms. We also work closely with
other major server platform manufacturers to release product
that is 100% compatible with their latest server products.
Memory & Products For Enthusiasts, Servers & Average Users:
Our flagship memory products are part of the XMS (Xtreme
Memory Speed) family which is designed for the unique
demands of the serious enthusiast community. The XMS memory
line has become the world's most awarded memory, garnering
more awards and Number One rankings from review sites and
users' polls than any other performance memory. The XMS
family includes XMS2, high performance DDR2 modules that
have broken world speed records; XMS Xpert, the first
modules with real-time display of parametric data; Pro
Series, gaming memory with real-time activity LEDs; and XMS
Classic with black or platinum heat spreaders. Our
ValueSelect line of desktop memory brings our quality and
compatibility standards to cost-effective products for
today's most popular desktops and laptops. Value Select is
available in DDR1 and DDR2. We also offer a large range of
ultra-reliable server memory and memory for laptops and OEM
desktop systems. Corsair has expanded beyond memory modules
to offer performance water cooling units under our Corsair
COOL brand. In addition, we offer a line of Flash memory.
Our world's first water-resistant, shock-proof Flash Voyager
USB is winning kudos for its sleek and functional rubber
housing. Our range of SD and CF cards offer a lifetime of
reliable performance for popular photo and MP3s devices,
cell phones and PDAs." ~

info
I've reviewed many memory products from Corsair over the
years. One important thing to note is the overall unmatched
quality, system
compatibility and stability of their memory. Corsair in many
respects are leaders in the memory industry.
The demands that are put on current memory are great. With
image/video editing packages and games requiring more and
more memory, 1GB of memory is hardly enough anymore. Games
like F.E.A.R. and Battlefield 2 require a minimum of 2GBs to
play at high resolution. Upcoming games being released in
2006 will further benefit from having a 2GB
kit installed. Also, most new memory has tight timing and
can be pushed to very fast speeds. Let's see what this
memory can do.
