<![CDATA[CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B
Corsair is an American company that is located in Fremont, California. It was founded in January of 1994 by Andrew Paul, Don Lieberman, and John Beekley. They started developing the level 2 cache modules called cache on a stick. In 2002 they began shipping their products all over the world.
Corsair Vengeance

  • model- CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B
  • type- 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM
  • speed- DDR3 1600
  • capacity- 8gb
  • voltage- 1.5
  • dual channel
  • Cas latency- 9

This memory would be best used for gaming or if you just want to have a lot of memory. I would recommend this memory because it is high performance for such a low price. If you want to buy two of them it will cost you $92 on Newegg. If you just get one then it will probably be around $42. If you purchase this on Newegg you will receive a lifetime warranty on parts.
