Corsair XMS Extreme Speed, Good or Bad?
I'm curious, since I am going to get the best memory I possibly can.

XMS seems to be very good Ram along with OCZ, but my current vote for the best ram available right now is the Black Line of Mushkin.

Yeah, the Mushkin ram is just crazy. I was thinking of buying some for my next upgrade.

Yeah, it can hit 2-2-2-5 at 233MHz while the GEiL needs to be at 3-4-4-8 to hit the same speed.

I have the corsair XMS PC2700 which I bought as a matched set (2x512). I have had many types of RAM but this stuff ROCKS. I have my system at 190x12 with the memeory at 2-2-2-5 and everything runs rock solid. I got the matched set for $270.......more then worth the money......

Yup, the Corsair Twinx 2700LL 2x512 does rock! I was able to push it to 210x11 sync'ed 3-3 had to lower the timings to 7-3-2-2 did get a little sluggish that high though. Don't know about the 3200 and up but I'd imagine their of similar quality.
Just replaced it with Ozc 3500, I felt the need for more speed  |
