4GB DDR3 Memory Kits - Corsair, OCZ, Patriot

• Benchmark Reviews: Patriot Viper-II DDR3-2000 Lynnfield Memory Kit:
  
  

  "The Viper II Sector 5 DDR3 kit from Patriot was designed to meet the unique requirements of Intel's Lynnfield Desktop Platform. The 1.65v limit established by Intel often poses a challenge to memory manufacturers and vendors, but by selecting only the highest-binned chips, Patriot was able to deliver a kit rated at 2000MHz and 8-8-8-24 timings. In our benchmarks, that extra bandwidth translated to improved performance in just about every test. In the real world, performance gains aren't likely to be dramatic, but a high performance memory kit like this can help get the most out of Lynnfield."

• ThinkComputers: Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 i7/i5 Optimized 4GB Dual Channel Memory Kit Review:
  
  

  "The memory looks great, as all Dominator memory does. The heatspreaders and fins keep both the chips and PCB cool. Intel XMP makes setup a breeze, just pop the memory in and you’re at DDR3-1600 8-8-8-24 at 1.65v without even looking at the BIOS.
  
  The memory overclocked easily, giving me a max overclock of DDR3-2008 10-9-9-24. Testing showed significant gains from the overclocks.
  
  The biggest bonus of the memory is the price, it sells for $120 at my favorite online retailer. That kind of performance at such a low price is definitely a value. ThinkComputers.org gives the Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 i7/i5 Dual Channel Kit a 10 out of 10 score."
