Thoughts
When it comes to products with a 'cool factor', Corsair's XMS Xpert memory definitely has a lot going for it. An LED display on your RAM? Which can accept custom messages of your choosing? That's beyond cool, and entering the realms of genius. Putting that to one side, there's also a practical use for this product too, particularly for the keen overclocker who wants to keep a close eye on all his system components - What better way to keep tabs on your memory than through the display seen here? Even in an enclosed case, there's still Corsair's Memory Dashboard to monitor all the vital statistics of your precious RAM modules.
Of course, like most memory modules, Corsair's offering here will live or die largely based on its performance, and for that we will have to wait to see final, shipping modules. It seems fair to expect some fantastic specifications and performance in the Xpert range though, judging by their previous efforts in the enthusiast field. Add that in to the nifty functionality, both hardware and software, on offer here, and you have yourself some RAM that the true enthusiasts among us will be clamouring for, if only to make yourself stand out from the crowd at your next LAN party.
