Corsair 1GB PC2 5400 Pro DDR2

The Unit

As you can see, these are the 'Pro' models with those very cool Activity LED's on them. 

 

You just gotta love the guy who came up with the idea of those LED's.

On one side of the heatspreader is Corsair's XMS2 label, denoting DDR2 instead of DDR1. 

 

Flipping it over shows the holographic sticker with the speed rating and memory timings. I still get a bit giddy when I see that "675MHz" there. 

It took us a while to find a motherboard that we thought could handle these babies, but we finally found the Asus P5AD2 Deluxe which should give us plenty to work with. So let's take a look at our test bed and then turn up the heat.

Test Setup:

  • Asus P5AD2 Deluxe

  • Intel 2.8GHz LGA775 CPU

  • Lite-On CDRW

  • HIS X800XT

  • Hitachi 80GB SATA HDD

  • Enermax 460W PSU

  • Windows XP w/SP1

Our testing procedure is pretty simple, we simply keep upping the Front Side Bus until the system fails to boot, then we back off until we're at a point where the system will run completely stable for 24 hours under load.
