Reviews around memory (3.62 of 5)

  • This memory is so fast I can't even remember what I was talking about!!
  • We were told that some memory just doesn't work with some systems, and that they worked, just not in his computer.
  • I've never purchased bad memory before, and was surprised to have a bad
  • I do not intend to over clock and will not change out the slower memory because of cost concerns.

Reviews around gb (3.61 of 5)

  • My only suggestion (not even a complaint) is that companies who sell quantities of RAM larger than 4GB make it much more clear to the consumers that they need to be running 64-bit Windows OS, because if they aren't, the memory will not be accessible.
  • If you're running on 4GB and your motherboard can support 8GB, getting this will give you a nice boost to overall performance (subjectively, not just in benchmarks).I would recommend these over their crucial counterparts or any other unit that is basically sold separately
  • Works great but 4GB is not enough for today's heavy load (gaming+browsing the internet+torrent)
  • I got the Corsair when I upgraded my 4GB desktop to Vista 64-bit and not only it worked
  • A DDR2 rig I was assembling started to behave erratically with a super cheap 8 GB pair I bought somewhere else,

Reviews around computer (3.16 of 5)

  • Once I replaced the power supply and installed the Corsair memory the computer worked fine.
  • My computer is crashing very often and this was not happening before installing this expansion memories
  • Even had I received an RMA authorization, the expense of mailing RAM modules, hard drives, and all such sensitive small computer parts back to a seller is too high to justify the risks.
  • If you're using good software on a good computer, the only thing I know of to tie the whole show together is good RAM.
  • next.update 11/12/11: bought another pair for wife's computer no problems.

Reviews around stick (1.89 of 5)

  • The reason being is that it is common to receive a defective stick
  • I probably would have stuck with the Corsair sticks since my old sticks have been nothing but good to me for years, it would have been nice to have some more options
  • I don't know if we got bad sticks, or what, but this memory didn't work in either of our computers.
  • I'm sure these sticks are fine for some systems, but they were horrible for both my husbands and my computer.
  • this score is low only because one stick was bad, other than that i would give rate them 5 stars.

Reviews around time (1.54 of 5)

  • It's been a rough time with these sticks, and a lot of stress and money went into fixing the various problems they've caused.
  • Unlike the "cheaper" makes, you never have to worry if you'll be buying a lemon this time
  • The last time I did an RMA, Corsair lost my request and failed to ship a replacement for over 2 months.
  • The timing is fast and the price is reasonable
  • had a hard time finding blades for my clippers, and stumbled on amazom.the service was a-one

Reviews around module (1.00 of 5)

  • I bought these twin modules and they were not working at all
  • I returned the defective module(s) and have been running with the new ones without further incidents
  • I got a return shipper for the two failed modules, sent them back and then received a replacement pair.
  • Lesson learned: I probably won't ever buy RAM at Amazon any more because there is such a high potential for bad RAM modules, and so little recourse.
  • So, I tried to isolate if one or more modules could be defective.
