Manufacturer: Corsair
Price: $238 (Newegg)

Corsair really needs no introduction, so we'll make this short. They are a company based in Fremont, California that has built a strong reputation for making what many would consider the best enthusiast memory. Quality, compatibility and yields are what make this brand so popular.



We've taken a look at a number of DDR modules in the past and just recently began our first looks at the DDR2. Today we continue that trend with a look at some of Corsair's finer DDR2 offerings in the form of their XMS2 Pro Series 1GB DDR2 Twin2X Matched Memory.



The pair we're going to look at are rated for up to 538 MHz at a pretty low 3-3-3-8 latency. Perhaps we can squeeze better timings out of this RAM and compare it to the more expensive RAM from SimpleTech we looked at last time.
