Corsair 1GB XMS2-8500 DDR2 Memory Kit

This 1GB XMS2-8500 TwinX memory kit is Corsair's fastest dual-channel DDR2 memory kit. In fact, it's the first DDR2 memory kit to ship with an effective clock speed of 1066MHz for Intel platforms that support a 1066MHz FSB. However, to achieve such a high clock rate, a few compromises had to be made. For starters, Corsair had to use a high latency of 5-5-5-15. This is certainly no low-latency module. If you are looking for low-latency, then you are out of luck. In addition, the modules have a capacity of only 512MB, giving the memory kit a total capacity of 1GB. Since this memory kit is targeted at power users and enthusiasts, the limited capacity may be an issue since it limits them to 2GB of memory with four DIMM slots. Even gamers and graphics editors are already going for 2GB of memory. Read on...
