Corsair TwinX1024-3200XL Pro Memory Review

Enthusiasts want fast memory with aggressive memory timings. None of this 3-4-4-8 stuff! Luckily for you and I, Corsair have just released some new PC3200XL DDR memory which is rated to run with a CAS latency of 2-2-2-5, at 200 MHz. The new Corsair XL line is surely a sign of things to come, but you may have to wait a little while before any other memory manufacturer releases anything like it. Now, what exactly are we looking at here? Well, each stick of Corsair TwinX 1024-3200XL Pro DDR is 512MB in size (for a total of 1024MB of dual channel DDR), and thanks to the nice new Samsung DRAM, boast CAS latencies of 2-2-2-5 @ 200MHz. Sweet memory indeed. Being that the modules PCstats is testing are the Pro-varient, each DIMM is encased in cast-aluminum heatspreaders with nine rows of LED's (18 in total) along the spine which indicate memory activity!
