Corsair Reveals Xpert Memory Line: Speed with Sizzle

Corsair Reveals Xpert Memory Line

At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2005) memory specialist Corsair lifted their NDA to show off their new "Xpert" memory line. It is their fifth memory line, along with the XMS/XMS2 series, the Value Select DIMMs, their server memory and some notebook DIMMs released last year. The Xpert series targets case modders and customers who are looking for distinctive components, and will be available within the next few weeks.

Initially, Corsair is going to offer only 512 MB DDR400 DIMMs. It’s almost unnecessary to mention that the memory specialist went for ideal timings of CL 2.0-2-2-5, which is standard fare for enthusiast memory today.

The Xpert DIMMs look pretty much like their XMS brothers, equipped with LEDs that light up depending on the level of memory activity. The main difference is that these LEDs had to give way to the display connector.
