Since they appeared on the market, I have wondered if these low profile 1.35v 2x8GB sticks from Crucial could be a successor to the very popular and highly overclockable Samsung 1.35v 2x4GB sticks. Well, XbitLabs has just published a review:

I don't want to give away the verdict, but they look pretty impressive. They don't seem to have quite the overclocking headroom of Samsung's 2x4GB sticks, but that's to be expected of higher density RAM.
For anyone interested in checking them out at Newegg, here they are: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2%20x%208GB%29
