Corsair DDR2 XMS2 PC2 8500 Memory Kit Review

There comes a time in everybody life where the objects of our obsession are just not fast enough. So what are we to do? Bolt on a bottle for some instant horsepower, throw some bigger speakers next to the projector, or wind the FSB up so high that the FSB begs for mercy? Coming at the stem of this philosophy today are the world's fastest production modules. Sporting handpicked Micron Rev. E ICs, hiding out underneath Corsair's signature smooth skin, we've got the solution to the problem of two worlds here. For conventional overclockers, we've got a kit that we guarantee will net you not one, but five golden tickets to get into the factory where overclocking dreams are made. Secondly, we've got the keys to the extreme performance castle for those of you out there running Extreme Edition processors, who are forced to run memory at DDR2-800 speeds, or lower. But, as was the case those years ago with OCZ's DFI Special (625Mhz DDR1!) memory, it'll take the right combination of hardware and talent to truly get these girls to fly. Getting into the wings, however, will be so much simpler than you'd think.
