Corsair 1024 Twinx 3200 XL memory
Tonite we have a memory kit from Corsair on the test bench. Awhile back we reviewed a several of their memorys so it will be nice to get back
to review some memory again. They sent us their newest Twinx3200XL kit which is supposed to be able to overclock well and run on really low latency.
Well let's work this out and see if it really does perform that well.

On the left we have a picture of the small installation manual which covers what you need to know about installing memory.
We recieved a dual kit with 1 Gb ram; the memory is covered with heatsinks to remove the heat from the memory so you can overclock it better.

On the left we have the memory installed and ready to run. Something new and pretty cool is that this memory has activity lights that flashed on top of the memory as seen on the right picture.
I was not able to get a good picture as the leds move to fast when it works. Something I have to mention is that Corsair memory comes with lifetime warranty so even that is a good feature and something to really consider when you
are in the market for new memory.
