I sold my corsair to someone else when I got rid of them, the main reason I went to g.Skill is that they OC like a dream.
I could only push my Corsair to 240ish on a good day, my g.Skill could hit 270 before it went unstable.
Multiplier was 2.0x if I remember right.

Good to know. Were you using dominators?

No, this is DDR1. I couldn't find any reference to a Corsair Dominator in the old flavor, maybe that's just me.

Out of curiosity, did the g.Skills have the heat spreaders with the holes all over it? Or were they solid sheets of metal like Corsair does?

I think the only one that does that is OCZ. Best RAM IMO. |

Ahh, that was the one Corsair wrote the article on.
Personally I don't like the holey spreaders, but I do hear good things about OCZ RAM that doesn't use those. A basic law of thermodynamics is that heat dissipation is bettered by increased surface area. And from what I've seen the temperatures of the "holy" RAM are noticeably higher than the competition.

For some reason I'm not suprised. Upon boot up doesn't Vista have like 60 processes going and 800mb of RAM used? It's halfway there already...
