• OCZ 512MEG PLATINUM DUAL CHANNEL PC3200 MEMORY KIT   [Review, TweakNews]
  Today I will be reviewing a 512meg Dual Channel DDR kit from OCZ. Not only is it touted to be good memory, but is able to handle a good overclock as well. To test the memory, I will be benchmarking it against the grand daddy of premium memory, the Corsair TWINX PC3200 Dual channel Memory Kit. Not only has Corsair's memory been tested to be an amazing overclocker when coupled with a 2.4C Intel P4, but also with great stability.

• OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 DUAL CHANNEL MEMORY   [Review, Hexus]
  We're now into latter half of '03, and we find that OCZ has cemented its position as a provider of quality RAM. A number of major U.K e-tailers now stock its products; a sure-fire sign that it is doing something right. The recent emergence of Intel dual-channel motherboards that positively laugh at 250FSB running and add in the associated 800MHz CPUs that are willing to match the motherboards' exploits; you soon see why the demand for super-fast memory is greater than ever. PC3200 memory is now merely official specification for both Intel and AMD's latest processors. PC3500 is nothing special now, either. The present high-speed memory war is being fought at PC3700 and PC4000 speeds, with a promise of even faster modules in the very near future.

• Corsair TWINX1024-4000PRO (DDR500)   [Review, HardwareZone]
  The new Corsair XMS PRO series of memory offers some really flashy stuff such as the industry’s first memory component with activity LEDs, extra large heat spreaders and superb system/RAM overclocking capabilities. It is easy to see why these are perhaps the most expensive unbuffered memory targeted squarely at the hardiest of overclockers.

• 6-Way 1GB DDR500 Round-up   [Roundup, LegitReviews]
  Have you ever taken the time to read a review on a product and later purchased it only to find out that the reviewers got hand picked "special" samples? Yeah, we know it happens, and quite often we (insiders) purchase something on our own that is very different from the samples that were sent to us. After being fed up we set off to purchase every brand of DDR500 memory that was available in America one month ago from some online retailers and put them through basic testing and stability testing to show you which is the best brand of memory for end users. Rest asured with the results from this review as they should be very similar to the memory modules you pick up at your favorite reseller, just as we did.

• Corsair TwinX1024 4000 Pro   [Review, ipKonfig]
  Recently we reviewed the newest memory from Corsair Memory, the TwinX4000, which hit new marks for memory speed. DDR500 gives new meaning to performance, for newer motherboards supporting 800MHz Front Side Bus, like the Intel i875P chipset. In our tests it gave us 1GHz Front Side Bus performance, and pushed our Pentium 4 2.4GHz up to 3.06GHz--on a solid stable system. Now, we're looking at the same memory, but with more enthusiast enhancements. Two of the major ones are larger heatsink spreaders and new Activity LED lights on the top of the memory. Sounds interesting? Indeed.

• Review: Geil Platinum PC4000 2 x 512mb   [Review, SubZeroTech]
  Just a short while ago I reviewed the Geil Golden Dragon PC3500 dual channel kit. As you may know the kit wowed me with the new module design and overall packaging quality and module appearance. The Golden Dragon series in my opinion is one of the premier series of memory modules available today. However, at the time those modules were limited to an overclock of about 240MHz on my Pentium 4 875 system. Now GEIL has done it again with their new Platinum DDR500 series. These modules, unlike the Corsair DDR500 modules I recently reviewed feature a CAS latency of 2.5/7-4-4 in contrast to the Corsair 3/8-4-4. What this means is speedier response and perhaps more rich bandwidth. And of course GEIL doesn’t disappoint with some spectacular packaging and knockout good looks (the platinum name comes from the Platinum heat spreaders installed on the modules!).

• Corsair TwinX1024-4000 PRO: Improving DDR500 Performance   [Review, AnandTech]
  We will be taking a closer look at the improved DDR500 memory in a 1GB kit. In our DDR500 roundup in Searching for the Memory Holy Grail — Part 2, Corsair was competitive, but was not the best-performing memory in the roundup. With the new 4000 PRO, we will be comparing Corsair’s second generation DDR500 to the earlier Corsair TwinX1024-4000 and the best DDR500 modules from our recent tests.

• Corsair TwinX1024-4000Pro Memory Review   [Review, PCStats]
  Corsair's TwinX1024-4000Pro memory modules are easily the coolest looking DIMM's on the market, bar none. Sure there have been other companies to incorporate LED's on a stick of memory, but Corsair have taken this to the next level.

• Kingmax SuperRAM DDR433 Memory   [Review, HardwareZone]
  Hardly less than a year ago when DDR333 was the standard, hardcore users were already scrounging for the highly limited DDR400 RAM modules, not for general use but specifically to overclock their systems to the next performance level. Even then, it was hardly a guarantee that motherboards with DDR400 certified memory can operate their memory controller reliably at those speeds. Fast-forwarding to present times, DDR400 has become the mainstream memory standard, be it single or dual-channel motherboards and this same group of hard-core users are again on the hunt for memory modules that can surpass the official JEDEC specifications.

• DRAM Prices and Pork Rind Futures   [Article, Tomshardware]
  DRAM prices fluctuate more wildly than shares traded on the U.S. NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange. Market forces and massive-scale speculation all contribute to the dramatic dips and troughs of DRAM prices. While JEDEC and suppliers develop DRAM to meet the needs of the latest Intel or AMD chipset, the ups and downs of DRAM prices have little to do with technology. Predicting the course of the DRAM market is more like betting on future prices of commodities, such as orange juice or pork rinds. Are you ready to gamble on DRAM prices?

• Corsair TwinX512 PC3700 RAM   [Review, Systemcooling]
  Given the extreme overclockability of many of today's Pentium 4 and Athlon XP processors and motherboards, more and more often, the wall hit by the many users is not these components, but in fact is the system's memory. Diehard enthusiasts are always looking for an edge in this regard, and any time there's a discussion regarding overclocking and memory, you can bet one name that will come up is Corsair. Corsair RAM is perennially some of the highest performing and best overclocking memory around.

• Kingston PC4000 HyperX 512MB Dual-Channel   [Review, Speedy3d]
  We received the 512MB dual-channel version (1GB kit is also available) of Kingston’s highest rated PC4000, DDR500 memory, which is designed for use in dual-channel capable motherboards such as the Intel 875P or nForce2. The memory itself is rated for 500MHz operation with 3-4-4-8-1 (CAS Latency 3) timing. The memory timings are rather high, but you’ll need to remember that these modules are basically DDR400 memory that has been tested and validated by Kingston to run at DDR500 using v2.6.

• Buffalo PC3700 & OCZ PC3200 on nForce 2   [Review, amdzone]
  Today I have two 256 meg sticks of PC3200 of OCZ memory and two 512 meg PC3700 sticks from Buffalo. OCZ is slowly gaining name recognition as inexpensive overclockable memory and Buffalo will be a new name to most of you. Buffalo Technology Inc. is a ram and networking company based in Austin, Texas. While the ram sticks are not necessarily competing against each other because they are rated at different speeds and sizes, I decided to review them side by side to give the results some comparison basis.
