Corsair has a reputation among enthusiasts as makers of some of the best ram in the business. Over the years, as ram technologies change, as well as getting faster, Corsair was always out there, putting out products to meet the demands of power users.
While DDR2 has been something of a hard sell for many users, it has steadily, albeit slowly, gaining acceptance among enthusiasts. With AMD slated to possibly offer DDR2 with their next-gen platform, things are looking up for the oft maligned ram format.
Now, whether you need DDR2 or plan a Pentium 4 (only 915P chipsets and up currently supports DDR2) is one decision you need to make. The second is how much of it? In our opinion, 512MB is the true minimum we consider for Windows XP, and 1GB the recommended. We've seen reports about 2GB making a bigger impact, but we feel this is something worth looking into first hand.
