Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C5
Strengths: Speed, Overclockability, Lifetime warranty, Good price when on sale ($40 rebate)
Weakness: Full price is a too expensive

This system runs the latest games very well, Crysis runs at High settings with frame rates around 32 FPS with no slow downs during game play, thats good enough for me. I plan on...
