PC Stats has posted a Corsair TwinX1024-4000 DDR Memory review



When Intel released the popular i865PE/i875P chipsets along side the 800 MHz FSB Pentium4 processor, the game changed forever. Before this precipitous event, enthusiasts could never have thought about about sacrificing a memory module's latency for more bandwidth, but these days P4 "C" users running 300+ MHz FSB, bandwidth is king. Any experienced geek should be familiar with the name Corsair, after all they've been producing memory geared at the cream of the crop since 1994. With competition heating up between manufacturers and their PC3700/4000 memory modules, Corsair have released the XMS4000 dual channel DDR series lest they risk falling behind in the eyes of consumers. Today we're going to be looking at the flagship Corsair TwinX1024-4000 memory. These twin DDR modules are rated to run at an amazing 250 MHz FSB, however that is with latency set at the rather lax JEDEC PC3200 standard timings of 3-4-4-8. To achieve this speed the voltage supplied to the memory must also be increased to 2.75V.
