Very stable ram
Strengths: No issues even with a bit of a picky MSI P6N Platinum MB. Running fine at 1066 using a Q6600 CPU and 8600GT VC. Had Crucial Ballistix before and it would only run at 800MHz no matter what I tried.
Weakness: Runs fine at 1066 but technically it says it is 800 overclocked and shows up as PC2-6400 ram.
The heatsinks are very solid and do their job well even without the fan kit, if I was running quads I would recommend the fan kit because there would be no space for airflow with 4 sticks of this AWSO

Pleasantly pleased.
Strengths: Fast without any special settings. Haven't had any crashes. Love the heatsink.
Weakness: They are pretty tall. Check your clearances.
Corsair has put out a strong product with this RAM. It's fast out of the box and seems to be very stable. I've had it running some hardcore games (hellgate london and bioshock) without any problems. Price was good too. I'm running a Quad Core Extreme with EVGA's 680i board and no issues to date after this RAM install.

Corsair Dominator is Premium RAM memory
Strengths: Fast, Great for gaming, good performance and good heat sink.
Weakness: been using it for a week and no bad things noticed so far
Installation of this RAM was super easy and was recognized immediately upon system start. Played games extremely fast and it performed much better compared to the older RAM that was replaced for. I hope to keep my computer running with this RAM until I upgrade for DDR3 when prices get realistic. No wonder dominator dominates other cheap memory!

Good stuff!!!
Strengths: Corsair goodness with lifetime warranty.
Weakness: Price dropped after I bought it.
I was lucky to receive the Micron D9 chips on my Corsair ram. Sweet! Runs perfectly without problems on a P35 motherboard. Heatspreaders keep it cool. This won't be my last Corsair purchase:)

Corsair Twin2X2048-8500C5D
Strengths: Fast out of the box, no fans req'd
Weakness: Seems to be a little picky as to what speed it runs at. Heat sinks tall.
On my GA-P35-DS4 motherboard, with Xigmatek HDT-S1283 cooler, it runs fine at 1068MHz with the E8400 CPU running at 445 * 9 = 4.0GHz. Standard timing of 5,5,5,18, not 15. It is likely the last we'll see of fast DDR2 memory. Onto DDR3.
