Introduction
Tonight we have a 2gb memory kit called Twinx2048-4000PT from Corsair. This is a sample from their popular Twinx series and we were able to get a 2gb sample to see how it performs. With todays more demanding games and software people are starting to buy more memory to be able to run a lag free computer. We reviewed a 2gb kit from OCZ a week back and we will compare this to todays Corsair kit both in overclocking and benchmarking.

This memory is available in either platinum or in black heatsinks. This is the standard package from Corsair, they come in a see through plastic cover and inside is a manual. The manual describes the installation process and on the back you can read about a few awards that Corsair memory has received in the past. There is also a link to the “Ram guy” which is the support crew at Corsair incase there are some problems with the memory.

A closer look at the manual shows that there are pictures explaining the installation process and also written instructions in five languages (Enlish, Dutch, Spanish, French and Italian). The ram sticks I got have platinum heatsinks and they are held in place by two clips on top of each ram stick. On each stick there is also a sticker that gives you information about the ram and also works as a warranty stick, so I recommend not removing it.

Just a quick look at the ram mounted in one of our testing setups. It’s time to test these out and see what they can do under overclocking and benchmarking.
