The kit is rated at PC2-8000, which works out to 1000MHz, or a cool 1GHz.

Still a far cry from the 2-2-2-5 we're used to seeing from lower speed DDR, but as memory speeds increase, it is extremely difficult to maintain stability with such low timings. Lately we've noticed that the timings seem to be having a lesser effect on performance as memory speeds increase.
