Pros: Just took some simple bios tweeks of the multiplyer and voltage. Works as advertized.

Cons: none yet

Other Thoughts: Gigabyte motherboard -- GA-MA785GM-US2H

Pros: Worked for 16 months and very reasonable in cost at $50. for 2 x 2G in April of 2009. After failure of one of the two sticks last week, I've asked for a RMA # and I'm grateful that there's a lifetime warranty.

Cons: One of the two 2G sticks failed and caused blue screen on Win 7 at each bootup last week. I contemplated ordering another pair while I wait for the replacement stick to be sent but having to pay $100. for the exact same memory 16 months later is more than I can tolerate. I'll wait and use the remaining 2G for the coming weeks.

Other Thoughts: Although I can easily afford twice the cost, I have a psychological aversion to being a participant in the so-called "supply and demand" game where the cost fluctuations are so outlandish. Someone much smarter than I will have to explain how GSkill and its distributors now can sell memory at a 100% increase from last year, at a time when the economy is still struggling. I suppose I can partially answer my own question by saying that as long as we continue to buy it, they can sell it at whatever cost they choose.

Dear Customer

Glad to hear you are taking advantage of your G.Skill lifetime guarantee. This scenario is perfect in that we want to prevent you from these types of price increases. We do not want your memory to go bad, then have you pay more for a replacement set. Unfortunately the high pricing is something we do not / can not control. It is not the supply and demand of G.Skill memory that controls pricing. DRAM IC chips that are mounted on memory products, are like commodities in the sense that market price fluctuates based on global supply and demand. As you have noticed, recent prices have sky rocketed but hopefully in the near future prices will drop and allow computer memory upgrades to be more affordable. It is much more expensive for us to produce too.

Thank you

Dear Customer

The memory will be hot since it is operating 2.10V, 0.3V over voltage. Rest assured that this is completely fine and safe; it will not cause any harm or damage. The blue heat spreader is there to help dissipate heat evenly. If you have any further questions or issues, please feel free to contact us directly.

Pros: I got this ram for a customer build. I'm a bit depressed their budget didn't allow for me to get DDR3 ram, but DDR2 1066 is what i have in my own system, so i know it is quite fast and dependable enough.

Installed just fine, picked up instantly by the bios, heat spreader works great. The system i put this in has One fan on the back of the tower, one in the PSU, both to draw heat out of the case, and a tube-vent on the side for the CPU to have cool fresh air, just this is enough to keep the case cool, and the Ram happy.

Cons: I forgot to make a video review D:

Other Thoughts: Got this in a sweet combo deal. This is the first time I've purchased G.SKILL, and they definitely get a plus in my book.

MSI AM3/AM2+/AM2 785
Althon II x4 2.9Ghz AM3
2x2 DDR2 1066 Ram
640G WD sata II HD
LG Sata DVD burner

Pros: -Timings. 5-5-5-15.
-Heatspreaders. This particular set of Gskill RAM stays very cool. Make sure your case isnt crammed in however.
-Minor overclockability. It goes up, but get a fan on them. And go up in small increments, using memtest.

Cons: There are no cons. (Notice I didnt say something cliche' like "It doesnt cook me breakfast" That joke is getting old folks. Cut it out.)

Pros: This memory is the best I have ever owned! No problem getting it up to specs by updating the bios.

Cons: None (although the price is significantly higher now than 15 mos ago).

Pros: put this in new build 2008 no problems. vista 64 amd 3core
oc to 3.3

Cons: no

Pros: Runs system well when it isn't crashing it.

Cons: Bought this for a computer I built for the wife. After a month her system started crashing occasionally. Updated all component drivers, made sure ventilation was good, etc. Occasional crashes continued. I switched her memory (this memory) with mine. Her system stopped crashing. My system started crashing.

Dear Customer

We apologize for the inconvenience. A replacement module should solve the problem. Also, make sure memory settings are manually set in BIOS. If not, the memory may become defective.
