________________

DDR2 has long been the choice of Intel systems with speeds continually rising while latencies are falling. Recently Corsair announced the fastest DDR2 we’ve heard of (in terms of outright MHZ). It is always enjoyable to receive something that is the “fastest” and today’s review product is on paper the fastest DDR2 available. We will take a look at performance and how it could improve a system currently running some high specified DDR2-800 (PC-6400).

Even though it's low latency it still really really nice.

Want those for my conroe system, not counting on the DDR2 1200 cas4 from geil being cheap or out when conroe has launched

Give it 6 months and this ram should be a lot cheaper, then I would consider purchasing some :P

Yeah to expensive

But good PC2-6400 CL4 ram does actually have a fair price, gonna go for 2gigs of those, eg. cosairs new ones with EPP

Hmm pretty steep in price but when compared to the slower memory out there the price isn't all that bad. I put down the bucks on it, so I hope this stuff works well /w my Conroe setup.
