Once again the PCMark05 give a very clear indication of just how fast this memory actually is.    We attempted to reduced the settings on the memory to 2.5-3-3-8 and we able to get the system to boot and operate perfectly fine up to a speed of 240 FSB using a 1:1 ratio.

 

Once again Corsair has proven why they are number one when it comes to high performance memory, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised to a pair of 1 GB modules reach 260 MHz 1:1 with very little effort.  I'm quite sure that if a person wanted to be a bit more adventurous that he could apply a bit more voltage to the processor and perhaps take the memory over 3.0 volts and perhaps reach something over 265 MHz, but why try when you can see how good the numbers look at 260?

Corsair makes sure you get the best quality parts and the best warranty in the business so there should be nothing stopping you from deciding that your next set of memory should come from the people that made this review possible, the kind people at Corsair Micro.

A special thanks to Corsair Micro for supplying this sample and to Vivian for coordinating this review.
