Title: 1 of 2 Chips Was Dead-On-Arrival
Review: Buying this RAM cost me an hour of my life... that I'll sadly never get back.One of the two 1GB sticks was shot (my PC failed to boot with it installed). Clearly Corsair isn't big on quality control. It took me a bit to isolate which chip was bad, then I noticed the remaining chip appeared to be running at 667MHz not 800MHz. I really didn't get into trouble-shooting this as, given the DOA chip; I knew they were both going back.NOTE: To the reviewer who suggested bad Corsair chips were due styrofoam peanut packaging ... mine were shipped out peanut free with no other likely source of static. I'm also extremely careful about ESD and wear a strap every time I open up a PC. I'm convinced this thing really was DOA. And, it's not like I'm the only one here... a good number of the reviews talk about these chips showing up dead.I should have saved myself the hassle and paid (literally) $6 more for better memory (which I've now done, Dell part #A0821575).
Is the review positive or negative?
