MODTHEBOX would like to thank Anna from Corsair
for sending the Corsair XMS3200LL Pro Series Twinx Memory Kit for review.
Introduction:
Computer enthusiasts are split into two different classified groups when it comes to building or
purchasing a complete computer system. The first group is known as the standard computer user where components
are assembled or purchased based on price rather than performance. Most consumers who fall under this
category will often assemble or purchase a system that is enough to be used for day to day
functions with application software and specific tasks. The second group is often referred to as the
extreme or hardcore computer user where price tends not be the focal point for purchasing or assembling
a high performance computer system. In order to get the best performance, high quality brand name components
are often used which are known to offer significant advantages over stock components. There are a wide
variety of high performance components currently on the market and since 1994, Corsair has been supporting
the special demands of mission-critical servers, high-end workstations, and gaming machines. The company
has recently released a series of XMS Memory Modules designed for extreme performance. Today in the MTB
Labs, we will be evaluating the Corsair XMS3200LL ProSeries Twinx Memory Kit designed for dual channel
DDR supporting motherboards.
