Corsair XMS3200XL Pro Twin-X

     Go Corsair go!! Corsair makes some of the best memory around, and of course we all know that, but why is it so good? Well I vaguely remember my very first good stick of ram being some of the infamous BH-5 LL 3200. I was using it in an EPoX board and experiencing some great 200+fsb overclocks. Being one of the first NF-2 motherboards on the market, the 8rda seemed to overclock like crazy until I tried some different memory other than Corsair. Of course with a vmem modification I was able to get some more MHz out of it, but fried my stick of Corsair in the process. Luckily Corsair took it back and within a course of six days, including the time that I shipped it out, I had a new stick of ram that lasted for a another year, until I regrettably sold it to one of my overclocking buddies. After the debut of the Intel Pentium 4 Northwood, Corsair seemed to go into a slump in comparison to some of the competition with memory that refused to really make a mark with enough threshold beyond its specification. This was a downfall given that my 3200 stick would go well beyond its given 200Mhz spec. After what seemed like a slump, Corsair started to pick up some speed with its XMS4000, and now with its 3200XL. I would like to be the first to tell my fellow overclockers out there that this is indeed the ram to have for any A64 or P4 owner. As you will witness in this review, ClubOC will indeed prove that this memory can go well beyond its spec, just like Corsair did just a short time ago...
