[H]ardNews 7th Edition

Corsair TwinX1024:

Memory not what it used to be? SubZeroTech has a review of the Corsair TwinX1024 Pro DDR500 dual channel memory kit that might be of some help. This is some good memory but it seems that the little lights on the heatspreader is what gets everyone so excited.

In closing I will make some much needed observations of the LED bars so prominently displayed on the back of this memory. Simply put they are both attractive and fascinating. Of course I was interested to see when exactly the memory was accessed, and in what intensity. So once I got these installed I found myself running and loading programs, then jumping on the floor to see what was going on with the memory and how it related to what was going on in the hard drive.
