bit-tech.net published a review of Kingston's HyperX KHX9600D2K2/2G DDR2 memory

For the price you simply cannot do better than the Kingston HyperX PC2-9600. So what if they run really hot? They do the job just fine with the right settings and they work perfectly well and even in excess of what they're rated at. You've also got a lifetime warranty and free technical support.

They don't have EPP or look pimped out and they should if you're buying performance memory. But then again, there becomes a point where you just forego all the extras and setting for the pure saving.

They maybe not as absolutely fast as the equivalent speed Corsair memory, but they certainly aren't slow, and for a few hundred notes saving I wouldn't complain. You're still buying a pair of sticks with a good brand, and it's a price we'd certainly pay.
