    It's 2 x 2GB, not a single 4GB module.

    No, that is definitely incorrect !! Corsair has not released 4GB modules yet, and only G.Skill has the cheapest deal available.

    VS4GSDS| KIT|667D2 - It is a 2x2GB kit

    Sorry, but there is no description failure.

    Checkout the Specification tab, and it says in General -> Kit: Yes

    And in the General Description it states "Corsair Value Select VS4GSDSKIT667D2 4GB SODIMM Kit Memory"

    Ah, my mistake. I felt like a little kid in a candy store when I saw that and jumped to conclusions.

    :(

    Even the bolded text on the main page under 'General Description' mentions it:

    Corsair Value Select VS4GSDSKIT667D2 4GB SODIMM Kit Memory

    But still they could have either used a picture of two modules or put something more appropriate in the text at the top. As it is, it just gets your hopes up for a big let down ;) haha.
