I bought four of these to give me 32 Gigabytes of RAM (I 'virtualize' software and you need the RAM overhead) in one system. No, it isn't the fastest DDR3 out there, but if you aren't an avid 'over-clocker' or PC Gamer, but require lots of RAM, these could be for you. 8Gb RAM sticks are new and a lot more expensive than 2 or 4Gb sticks, but if your PC has only two RAM slots and you need 16Gbs this is for you. If you are unsure about fitting, get a tech savvy person to do it and do make sure they are compatible. DDR3 boards with an older BIOS may not recognize them at all or only recognize half the RAN, so make sure it is on the latest BIOS. Your motherboard will also have a QVL (Qualified Vendor List)

This ram is the perfect kit for those building on a budget, It runs flawlessly in dual channel, it works flawlessly with amd phenom IIX4 processors (Mine is AMD Phenom IIX4 955BE C3 @3.2Ghz), smooth as silk gaming and it scores 7.5 in my windows experience index.but the best point about this kit is that it's corsair (one of best of the best brands) and costs the same as some no brand alternative, fantastic buy this ram and your computer will breeze through windows 7 64bit whilst not costing the earth. heck you could buy two of these sets for the same price as pcworld charge for one of their off the shelf kits.-Update: Just Bought a second Kit as it was going so cheap and now all 4 slots on my

I bought this RAM to upgrade from 2 x 1GB DDR3 10600 from the same manufacturer. Out of the packaging I replaced my existing memory modules, and fired my machine up. POST recognises 4.196 GB, but my OS only recognises 3.5 GB, due to the fact that I am currently running Windows 7 32-bit for driver compatibility issues.The RAM increases my Windows 7 index score from 5.5 to 7.1 (and I'm sure above that when I install the 64-bit version of the operating system)Coupled with an old Q6600 2.4 Ghz quad core and an Nvidia GTX-550Ti this is quite a decent computer for gaming, and I would recommend this RAM highly for those with slightly older systems who don't want to go through a complete new rebuild

After s lot of reading on the interwebz I drew the conclusion that the speed jump from 1333 to 1600 in DDR3 memory was so small I should just get 1333 and so I spent days scouring the internet for the best value DDR3 1333 produced by a well know company.This memory is brilliant, worked straight out of the box with the motherboard (Asus M4A87TD/USB3) and hasn't given one fault in the last few months of ownership. Only flaw really (which isnt really a flaw for me) is that the picture implied there was a heatsink over the chips when actually its just a long sticker but as I have said the jump in speed from 1333 to 1600 is so small I wont be overclocking any time soon anyway.Conclusion,

I bought this to pep up a 4 year old HP Pavilion with 8Gb, so now I have 8 + 8 = 16Gb. It seems to have done the trick, I often have multiple applications open, including Photoshop and I want to be able to switch between them instantaneously, without having to wait five seconds or more. I thought that it might work because years and years ago I used to sell Apple Macintosh computers and the one thing that really made them zip along was having loads of RAM so that they didn't need to use virtual memory. I'd say that this computer is now just about as fast as any I have ever seen. Very very pleased!If you have found this review helpful please click the button below. Thanks!

I bought this memory along with an Intel i7 3770 and Gigabyte Z77-DS3H. I could have bought the 1600 version, but opted for the 1333 mhz. I loose a little in performance, but it gave me piece of mind when I was build ing the computer. Sometimes it is beneficial to get with the older model over the latest and greatest when making a build that theoretically isn't supported. My research said 1333 mhz with that proc and mobo comb, so that is what I went with. I couldn't be happier. Would have given 5 stars, but it isn't the 1600 MHz version. I'll put this memory in a different computer,and buy some faster memory soon. Maybe :) ?

Given no choices as the two slots on the motherboard hold a maximum of 8GB each and the first fitted was 1600 MHz, I went for price instead and this was lowest as well as Prime (free rapid delivery). I had to clean the inside of the desktop but the DRAMM fit snugly and locked neatly in place. The machine was faulty on restart but I soon found a loose SATA cable and it booted cleanly. Delivery was fast and I must assume the computer is faster as I have yet to try any demanding work on it. I have been promising myself this upgrade for a year and I was pleased to find such a good price so I am completely satisfied so far.

Main factor for purchase was the price. With memory rather expensive I have been putting this off for a while. But running just 1GB was proving very sluggish. So I looked around read a few reviews and settled for this pair of RAMS.My computer is now a whole lot quicker. Personally I have never looked into "Overclocking". As the name suggests, it is running the RAM at speeds that it was not designed to sustain. But the speed improvement just by quadrupling the memory has worked wonders for me. If only I had 2 more sockets on the motherboard then I could upgrade to 8GB......Definitely worth the money.

Ram is ram, ie - dull. It either works or you send it back... You do send it back don't you? Corsair is a known, and good, make with a lifetime (all be it limited) warranty. I bought 4 * 4 gb sets to expand my slightly aged AMD Phenom X4 to its max 16gb.Insertion was easy, though with no heat sink in them, that white thing is just a label, you do end up with a dent in your figures.The system recognised them without problems and they have performed faultlessly since install. I would not recommend for overclockers due to the lack of heat sink, but for normal use there's no problem at all.

My two memory sticks arrived in an Amazon envelope which worried me but I needn't have as they were still in their original packs and this with the cardboard was solid. I took the packing appart and slotted the memory into my PC which had been opened and was ready. The memory pushed in easily, PC turned on and I now have 4 filled memory slots. This memory is the same as was onboard and I now run Lightroom better but when i look at what memory I am running I don't know what is the 8 year old slots and what is the new filled slots. They work and so, now, does my PC.

Although the speed of these sticks is only 1300 mhz, and they're listed as "value select" they have made good impact on the access speed and help with multi-tasking jobs on my PC. Previous bench tests said that the original 4Gigs was sufficient, but who the hell wants "sufficient"These are the identical sticks that were allready installed on my Gaming PC, thus doubling the RAM fro 4 to 8 Gigabytes. I have accually noticed some extra nimbleness though, honestly!

The memory fits fine, and performs fine, the only thing is, that the item when received, showed "Value Select" on the packaging, this may not be an issue for some, but may affect anyone looking to overclock. The same item on scan.co.uk shows "Value" in the description, I think Amazon should update the description and the pictures, as the image shown does not show the RAM received. Not quite a good enough reason for returning, but almost :-(

The RAM was delivered a day early (thanks Amazon). Both DIMMS were recognized properly and passed the initial RAM stress tests. I've had success with Corsair RAM in my Macbook Pros with not issues on either box. The oldest Macbook has been handed down to the kids and the RAM is still functioning after 4 years of use. I'm a heavy user (Photoshop, games, Fusion) and am looking forward to heavy duty use of this RAM in my Optiplex 790DT.

I put together a monster workstation and needed as much RAM as I could get for my money.These were by far the best value for RAM I could get.And yeah I got plenty. I have 32GB of RAM in the workstation fully 64Bit and Motherboard supports it.I can pretty much run multiple VMs and not break a sweat.1 year later, its now going for 164$, considering I paid 64.99 each pair.I am seriously not complaining as they are still kicking.

My computer was a fairly good model when I bought it 7 years ago but time moves on and 4GB is slow today. My son who's an absolute whizz with computers told me to buy the 8GB memory module and fitted it for me and now my computer is as fast as it was when it was new, brilliant! absolutely brilliant, I am so happy I no longer have to wait for anything to load , it's almost instant once again. Thank goodness!
