Corsair XMS PC2-8000UL (1GHz) Memory Arrives

Post by Apoptosis »

I just got in a kit of Corsair's new XMS2 8000UL memory modules. Our kit is the Twin2X1024-8000UL and features two 512mb modules that operate at 1000MHz with timings of 5-4-4-9.

Here is a picture of our PC2-8000 modules:

Something interesting to note is that Corsiar has just changed their labels. Below is an image of their old label and their new label. I do like how the new label shows the memory timings, but think it could be displayed a bit better. The heat spreader is still baked on and everything else is the same on this kit. The IC's are still the same Micron Fat Body D9 IC's that overclock like no other.

The modules are in the test system now, so expect some benchmarks posted on this thread in the near future. I just tried to find some pricing on these modules and they aren't listed on newegg yet. Using our shopping.com site I was able to find two companies that sell 512mb modules.
