Introduction
Awhile back we reviewed TwinX3200 memory from Corsair. Tonite it’s time for a newer version called 3700. This is going to be tested with some heavy overclocking as usual. We are also going to have a look at the timings etc that this memory can run at. We know that Corsair makes great sticks of memory and they really hold the spot as one of the greatest memory manufacturers. Let’s have a look how this pair of 2*512 sticks can perform. About Corsair:
Corsair memory is specifically designed for rock-solid performance in the most demanding of applications. Data lines are specifically designed for noise immunity; clock lines are optimized for minimum skew. All modules use impedance-controlled printed circuit boards, with 30 micro-inches of selectively plated gold to ensure a proper interface with the DIMM socket. Corsair has many years of experience in qualifying high-performance memories, and has developed a knowledge base and track record which is among the best in the industry. Corsair also has strict standards for product qualification; any changes in design, bill-of-materials, and/or supplier, must be re-qualified prior to shipment to end customers. These high standards, while somewhat time consuming, have resulted in a very robust product, with extremely few failures, returns, or compatibility problems.

About TwinX:
This is from Corsair directly.
The TWINX memory kits are composed of two low latency memory modules that have been tested as a pair in an Asus A7N8X dual channel motherboard. The matched pair of modules are then physically packaged together, guaranteeing that the customer receives a product that has been verified in the dual channel environment. These memory kits are available in sizes of both 512 MByte (two 256 MByte modules) and 1 GByte (two 512 MByte modules), at speeds of either 333 MHz (also known as PC2700) or 400 MHz (also known as PC3200). These configurations are summarized below: TWINX512-2700LL: 512 Mbytes, 333 MHz, low latency module pair, kit consists of two matched CMX256A-2700LL DIMMs TWINX512-3200LL: 512 Mbytes, 400 MHz, low latency module pair, kit consists of two matched CMX256A-3200LL DIMMs TWINX1024-2700LL: 1 Gbyte, 333 MHz, low latency module pair, kit consists of two matched CMX512-2700LL DIMMs TWINX1024-3200LL: 1 Gbyte, 400 MHz, low latency module pair, kit consists of two matched CMX512-3200LL DIMMs “TWINX memory kits take the guesswork out of dual channel motherboards,” stated John Beekley, Vice President of Marketing at Corsair. “By using modules that have been 100 tested, as a pair, in this environment, the user can be confident in the performance and stability of his or her dual channel system.”

This package is similar to the package of the PC3200. On the back we could find some reviews of this memory and awards that it has won. The package is in a hard plastic cover so it protects the memory really well.

The memory is equipped with black heatspreaders that are still very thin so they don’t take up more than one memory slot per stick. On the memory there is a sticker with some specifications and info about the memory so you can easily find it.

As we can see these sticks of memory are very nice looking and they are a high quality ram thus far in the review atleast 
Let’s see what we can do with these puppies in some testing with timings etc.
Testing was done on the following rigs:
P4 2.4 Ghz 800 mhz / AMD XP 2200+
Leadtek K7NcR18D Nforce 2
2*512 mb Corsair 3700 DDR / 2*256 mb Corsair 3200 DDR
60 GXP IBM 60 gig harddrive
Geforce 3 TI200
Artic Silver 3
Liteon 16x cd burner
GMC Neo classic case
We have tested overclocking and benchmarked with Aida32, Pcmark 2002 and Sisoft Sandra 2003.
