Pros: So Far working great, I only run 32 bit so I only get 3.25G, but if you think you need more than that your crazy, and if your crazy, buy a new OS for 64bit.
Very slick nice looking heat spreaders. This ram is running at 36c idle right now.
Cons: None yet.
Overall Review: Not a con unless your an idiot like me, make sure you put them in a supported board, otherwise you will be needing a new Mobo.
Pros: 4G in 2 sticks. Kingston service rocks! Slick looking heat spreader. The color compliments my rig's color scheme. Will run stable @ 1101Mhz 24 hours in memtest, scores 5.9 on Vista Experience Index.
Cons: Unfortunately for me, I had to downgrade in bandwidth and upgrade in capacity. I switched from Kingston's KHX96002K2/2G to these. 2G just won't cut it for me having to run Vista (necessity when running 4gpus) PC2-9600 kits are near impossible to find, and Kingston discontinued theirs :(
Overall Review: Had to update board to newest BIOS for compatibility and manually set timings, frequency and voltage. Well worth it! If rebate comes through these will be cheap!
Pros: Free shipping when I ordered.
Works well in a double pair. It's amazing how close they sit next to each other in the four slots in the MOBO. But even with that, I have no instability, which I was a little concerned about with 8 GB sitting so close together.
Cons: none
Overall Review: I remember when you couldn't even get a hard drive with this much space! And it cost way more than the memory!
Cons: Can't get it to run at 1066 but it's just because my board doesn't have the settings to.
Overall Review: I have a MSI P43 Neo3-F and the max settings it allows me to use is 800 with 6-7-7-20 and it runs just fine at those settings. Which are good enough for me.

Runs fine at 106611/5/2008 7:25:32 AM
Pros: These are great chips. They run very well, though they do have a high CAS latency, there is a giant pool of 4GB to access simultaneously. So it's not a big deal.
Cons: On many..if not all Motherboards (I have an ASUS) you need to change the clock speed from 400-533 (It's double-sided)
Overall Review: I don't think it's fair to give a poor review due to lack of configuration abilities. It is set at 800 (400mhz double sided) to keep from having problems with the CPU accessing the memory.
Will not run @ 1066 in GAEP45 DS3L10/13/2008 5:31:56 AM
Pros: Nice appearance...
Cons: Will not run @ 1066 on my Gigabyte P45 board no matter how loose the timings are. Maybe this memory doesn't get along with Gigabyte boards. I talked to gigabyte and used their recommended settings to try and get the board to post and it just won't do it. Runs fine @ 800 but I can't get it to 1066 no matter what.
Cons: Tried the 5-5-5-15 and changed the voltage all the way to 2.2V but computer refused to boot up regardless. I'm running a Asus P5Q Pro mobo.
Overall Review: I stepped it up to 833Hz, leave timing and voltage automatic and computer booted up, will have to run some memtest86 later to check stability. After that will slowly increase to see how far I can stress this
