"You can certainly buy a 2GB kit for less than half that price that will provide most of the performance of the $600 kit. For those who measure their system purchases on a value basis it will be difficult to justify $600 for Corsair Dominator PC2-1111, even though it is the fastest memory we have tested. However, Corsair Dominator PC2-8888 was not designed for the value buyer. Many other companies, including Corsair, have memory products that will satisfy the value equation. Corsair Dominator PC2-8888 is for buyers who have to have the best - the fastest - the top performance - regardless of cost. If they buy PC2-8888 they will definitely get the best available on the memory market."

"With that said though, the Dominator 8500C5D modules are a definite attraction and have the potential to achieve high frequencies with tight timings because of the capability to run at a higher voltages than most other modules can cope with over long periods of time. Typically, the 8500C5D modules are going to set you back around £10 more than Corsair's standard 8500C5 product and we'd say that if you're considering those modules, the extra £10 for better cooling is money well spent."

"It's not the DHX cooling that's costly, it's the extremely tight screening and speed-binning that's necessary on the DDR2-1111 parts. So, unless you're filthy rich and have a burning desire for the absolute fastest, some more modest TWIN2X or similar will likely bring you the same amount of joy for a nice saving. In time, the appeal of these modules (or future DHX cooled modules) could increase, but right now, they're definitely a niche product."

"The bottom line however, is that the Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF memory kit is an excellent product. It's fast, flexible, innovative, and it should work fine on any platform."

"If you want to have the ultimate memory kit for your dream machine the answer is simple - Corsair PC2-8888 modules are what you need."
