Product Description
While at first glance, it may be in your best interest to shop around, know that when you purchase RAM from Komputerbay, you're getting Grade-A brand name computer memory. Cheap computer memory while possibly being compatible - can cause system crashes, error codes in your computer and even damage your motherboard! Other sellers may offer you similar looking products for a few cents or a dollar less, but here's the scoop on why: They sell cheap-grade memory and they don't test the modules before shipping! This ends up costing you time and money! Trust when you buy from Komputerbay, you are getting top of the line product from a top of the line company. We test every module before it leaves the building, and back all of our purchases up with a LIFETIME WARRANTY!

Size Name:12GB (3 X 4GB)
If you are searching around for DDR3 triple channel memory (to pair with a socket 1366 motherboard), then you are probably aware of current prices. 6GB of RAM will cost around 65 for decent quality, whereas this product retails for 75, and has the added bonus of being 3x4GB (rather than 6x2GB). So price / GB looks very good. My only concern prior to purchasing this RAM was that I hadn't heard of the manufacturer (Komputerbay) before, but still, 100% more RAM for 15% more money sounds like value to me.
The RAM works flawlessly for me. Unless you are a keen overclocker, its rating of 1333MHz is also more than good enough too. This is because unless you are running the top end Core i7 CPUs (980x, 970 I think), the memory will only run at 1066MHz anyway (natively). So if you plan to overclock one of the slower CPUs in the range (I own a 950, for example), then this RAM should be able to handle modest overclocking. The only other situation where this difference might apply is if your motherboard allows you to adjust the multiplier used to determine the memory speed - for example I can modify my multiplier so that it does run at 1333MHz speeds. This does have the minor consequence of (automatically) adjusting the latency timings, which I've added below. (Basically, while higher latency timings are 'bad', this slight increase is more than offset by ramping the memory up to its full rated speed.)
Just to give you an idea of the RAM's rating, it scores 7.5 in the Windows Experience Index test at 1066MHz, and goes up to 7.8 at 1333Mhz, which is certainly quick indeed. It's not the most rigorous benchmark, but at least anyone with a computer running Vista/7 can get a rough idea of how it compares to their current RAM.
Unless you are a user with data-intensive applications, 12GB is probably far more RAM than is necessary. However, if you are teetering on a decision between 6GB and 12GB and the price above tempts you, then go for it, because as far as I can tell, this is a very good product indeed.
For those interested in the latency timings for this RAM, they are as follows:
<533MHz CAS 7/ tRAS 20/ tRC 27 <- used at 1066MHz speeds
533 - 609MHz CAS 8/ tRAS 22/ tRC 30
609 - 685MHz CAS 9/ tRAS 25/ tRC 34 <- used at 1333MHz speeds
685 - 761MHz CAS 10/ tRAS 28/ tRC 38 <- overclocking territory, also beyond what the RAM is rated to run at. I haven't taken it this high.

Size Name:8GB (2 X 4GB)
Purchased this a few months ago for a custom build pc. Everything was fine and dandy for a while until suddenly I started getting random bsod errors citing "memory_management" as the cause. Usually a few reboots would fix the problem but it has recently got to the point where I couldn't boot the computer. Memory diagnostics confirmed my suspicions, one of the ram modules was faulty and needed removing. The other one is working fine and I assume it's just bad luck on my part that I got a broken one, but I would suggest that if you don't want to run the risk of multiple random system crashes and a lot of frustration that you fork out a bit more and get your ram from a more reputable company. That's what I intend to do now.

Size Name:16GB (4 X 4GB)
If you're reading the reviews of this product then you've already decided you want to buy this RAM and are just looking for any negative feedback to make sure you aren't buying a lemon.
Well let me put your mind at rest in two different ways.
1. The RAM works. I have 32Gb of it sitting in a home/smb server (ASUS KCMA-D8, dual opteron) that has been running flawlessly since the first time it was booted. It runs ESXi and plays host to around 2 dozen virtual machines, and hasn't missed a beat.
2. This product is fullfilled by Amazon (or at least it was when I ordered, always check to make sure before you buy). What does this mean? Well, for the official answer, go read the Amazon blurb on Amazon Fullfillment - but basically it means Amazon is the supplier, so your shipping, returns, warranty, etc are all handled by Amazon. Enough said!
So just buy it, you know you want to!
