Topic: Memory
Product: Corsair TwinX 2048-4000PT Evaluation
Provided by: Corsair Micro
Reviewer: K. Elliott
Price: $280.00 (Newegg)

The memory we are evaluating today is Corsair's new TwinX 2048-4000PT, 2 GB of memory specially designed for those wanting the absolute fastest possible memory for use in their Intel based motherboard.  The reason Corsair has gone to two gigabyte modules is quite simple to understand.  With today's games, graphics and CAD programs all demanding more memory, one gigabyte of memory was just not enough to get by with anymore.  Remember when Bill Gates said "640 kilobytes of memory would be the most memory anyone would ever need"?  Even he was wrong on the subject of how much memory today's system need.

Today as we evaluate the TwinX 2048-4000PT we are  going to approach it from a slightly different angle as we load it into an Socket 939 AMD64 motherboard and run it through it paces there.
