Pros: As you have probably seen throughout reviews of other Mushkin products, Mushkin is an absolutely WONDERFUL company to deal with. They are located in Denver, Colarado and in all of my years of professional IT work, I've never experienced more friendly or knowledgeable support. Not only is Mushkin top-notch for customer support, they back incredible products. This RAM is no exception. I've had it running in my RIG (see specs in other thoughts) for a few months now with 0 hickups or memory related errors / BSODs. With just 4GB installed, I get a 7.6 WMI rating - not bad at all!! Customer support at the Mushkin forums was more than happy to help me lock down timings and voltage settings when I was setting up my rig, specific to my mobo bios and overclocking settings. This saved me SO much time troubleshooting, I can't begin to thank Mushkin support enough. This build was my first experience with Mushkin. Needless to say, I am now a Mushkin supporter for life!
Cons: This form field shouldn't be included on Mushkin products. I have two DIMM's available and I still haven't ordered another 4GB. What's wrong with me?! *clicks order*
