Tech Link (Memory): Corsair XMS2 8500 DDR2 Memory Review

PCPer has a review up on their site. I am not a fan of the site, in fact, I don't relly like their reviews. Not that I'm saying mine is better, but my site is a "Blog" site and others are "professional review sites" so it makes a huge difference. They seem to like the RAM, both in its performance and overclockability.

The parts we are examing today is the Twin2X1024-8500 package which contains two CM2X512-8500 sticks. The SPD settings for this RAM is 5-5-5-15 at 2.2V and is tested to run at 1066 MHz. Getting to 1066 MHz memory bus speed will be a challenge for those of you without a ExtremeEdition CPU, but it should mean you can use tighter timings and still get great overclocking.
