After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Corsair XMS Xpert TwinX3200LL Review
Author: Dennis Garcia
Published: Saturday, April 30, 2005
Conclusion
Corsair Xpert modules display vital statistics memory whenever the system is running, These statistics are updated in real-time and do not require any additional software, that is until you want to customize the display. I made it pretty easy to tell but try to point out the fake in the photos below.
These days many memory manufactures are on the same page when it comes to memory performance, most have a Low latency option with a few offering an extra low latency module with 2-2-2-5 timings. Corsair has been at the XL point for a little over a year now with LL modules on the market since early 03, I have no doubt that this trend will continue especially since memory speeds are increasing to keep up with modern processor demands. While the Corsair Xpert memory modules are based on the spectacular performance of the 3200XL module the addition of a programmable digital display can only make them better.
Now for the ever popular list of Good things and Bad things.
The Good Things
Programmable Digital Display
Memory Activity LEDs
Low Latency Module
Good Overclocking with Low Latency
