Corsair Dominator PC2-9136 4GB Memory Kit
Hardware Logic have posted their review of the Corsair Dominator PC2-9136 4GB Memory Kit “Corsair has given us one of the fastest and most reliable 4GB DDR2 kits available today. Where most 1066MHz kits top off, these heavy hitters are just getting started. The ability to hit 1200MHz at 2.1v left us satisfied and should be a reasonable goal for the owners of this RAM. Corsair’s lifetime warranty and excellent support is exactly what you look for when spending your hard earned dollars.
The Achilles’ heel of this product is the price. DDR2 has been severely discounted for several months now while this memory is easily one of the highest priced kits out there. This kit may only attract a specific group of consumers that are looking for the largest and fastest DDR2 kit they can find for their system and are willing to pay the premium. Also take into consideration that this kit does not give the same amount of overclocking headroom we are accostumed to seeing from the 2GB kits.
As you take a look at the ultra high end DDR2 kits available today, there are a select few that come in a 4GB flavor. Most are smaller 2GB kits that are prone to high failure rates or are not able to reach their rated specs. You can leave those worries behind. It took Corsair some time to get this kit on the market and a few months ago, the enthusiast world would have been drooling all over these modules. But now the question remains, is there anyone still willing to pay top dollar for DDR2?”

Aeneon AXH860UD20 XMP DDR3
Benchmark Reviews have posted their review of the Aeneon AXH860UD20 XMP DDR3 “In summary of my experience with the Aeneon 4 GB PC3-12800 XMP DDR3 SDRAM Kit AXH860UD20-16H, I can conclude that this will be an excellent 1600 MHz kit for hardware enthusiasts wishing to overclock their system to its limit, or the performance-level system builder wanting to take advantage of the industries highest FSB setting. While the CL9 latency is not what I would consider great, I have to remember that higher capacity DDR3 require such long ‘Fly-by’ command times. Overclocking this kit was made simple by the added XMP functionality, but manually configuring the settings allowed much more performance. Ultimately 4 GB system memory kits will replace 2 GB version, especially as Windows Vista is adopted by users.”

I4U News has posted their review of the Kingston HyperX KHX14400D3K2/2GN DDR3-1800 “When all the testing was finished the Kingston HyperX KHX14400D3K2/2GN kit performed well. It has some headroom left for overclocking and performs well at the programmed SPD settings. The RAM is also a bit cheaper than some other brands of enthusiast DDR3 on the market.”
