Introduction

Since 1994, Corsair has been producing not only the highest quality, but also the most readily available memory on the market. Today we are taking a look at two 512 MB sticks of PC3500 CAS2 memory from Corsair's performance XMS line. This particular PC3500 is pretty much overclocked PC3200 that is guaranteed to run at a perfectly stable 433 MHz while using an aggressive CAS latency of 2 and command rate of 1T at a stock 2.5 volts. More aggressive timings generally mean faster memory, and as we will see later on in the review, MHz isn't everything if your timings are too conservative.

Throughout the review, you said DDR400 was PC3400, this isnt true as DDR400 is PC3200 if you would read the specs on current motherboards and if you multiply the 400X8, which is where PCxxxx ratings come in

Ah thanks for the heads up! I auto-replaced every "200" with "400" and I guess it messed up the PC3200 as well! I am editing this right now!
