Very Fast !,
I purchased 3 sets for 2 different laptops. 32GB (8×4) went into an Asus N53SM with i7 2670QM quad core processer and the other set of 16GB went into an Asus A53Z with an AMD A6 3420M quad core processor. In order to take advantage of RAM over 16GB with a windows PC you need to install either Win7 Pro or Ultimate. Win7 Home (64-bit) can only utilize up to 16GB. My Asus A53Z only has 2 slots so cannot go over 16GB but the N53SM has 4 available slots. I have also installed the smaller 4GB stick Corsair Vengeance ram in 3 other laptops.
This RAM is VERY fast, even faster stepped down, let me explain.
The Intel i7 2670QM and AMD A6 3420M can only read RAM up to 1333MHz but this ram is at 1600MHz. At 1600MHz the CL=10-10-10-27 but when installed is stepped down to 1333MHz by the processor. This makes the CL=7-7-7-19. This is even faster than the stock RAM of 1333MHz at 9-9-9-24. smaller number CL equals faster RAM.
Of the 6 sticks I bought one was bad. Not so bad it gave me the BSOD but bad enough to give me some headaches with apps, esp Adobe LR. Corsair was easy to deal with and fast to replace. I was down only 7 business days. The replacement RAM stick worked perfectly as did the other 5 sticks out of the box.
This RAM does not have XMP capabilities.

FANTASTIC RAM,
The difference between the 6GB of RAM that came with the HP DV6 LapTop and the i5 2450 Processor and the Corsair Vengeance Laptop Memory Kit 16 GB (2×8 GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL10 PC3 12800 (CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10) is like comparing Light to darkness. The speed was increased dramatically and the Memory operations per second jumped from 6.3 to 7.3 on the Windows Experience Index. I can now run any Flight Program with multiple combat scenarios.

perfect easy upgrade,
Worked perfect in my Alienware m14x. Fast delivery and installed in a few minutes. And yes, a Alienware m14x can go to 16gb a ram.
