Look at all the negative reviews at newegg on this ram and choose wisely
I bought this RAM and mine is working fine. I ran 8 and a half hours of memory tests with no errors because I was shocked at all the negative reviews from newegg. I really think I found the culprit of all those negatives though. When mine were shipped to me they came in a box with packing peanuts. Those things had MAJOR static. I am pretty sure a lot of people were getting so much static from those peanuts and then opening the ram that is in a plastic shielding. I made sure I had no static and even sprayed my work area with a solution of water and a few drops of dishwater detergent. YES - I was so worried when I read all those reviews. So maybe I can start off the reviews on here with a positive effect.
This booted up at 5-5-5-18 on a P5B Deluxe which was not hard to change in the BIOS at all. I researched my system and this is what I built and couldn’t be more happier. These items go very well together…
Corsair PC6400 RAM, E6600 C2D, EVGA 8800 GTS, P5B Deluxe, and most importantly, I have a 500W power supply in this rig and all seems pretty well, but I would recommend a higher one because of the few BSOD that I have seem when messing around with my system.
One last thing. I have been able to run these at 4-4-4-12, but did get a few errors at 1.8 volts. I recommend the 1.9 volts and more if overclocking these sticks.
Update (9/2/2010): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Not as represented
Item was described as having a latency of 5-5-5-12. What I received had a latency of 5-5-5-18-2T and was not compatible with the modules I had in my PC.
