Corsair TwinX XMS 4400C25PT DDR550 (http://www.nvnews.net/reviews/corsair_xms4400/index.shtml)

John "ragejg" Grabski has finished his review of the Corsair TwinX XMS 4400C25PT DDR550 memory.

INTRODUCTION
DDR memory has definitely served its purpose well in the enthusiast segment since 2001. The format stumbled out of the gate with inefficient and often incompatible chipsets (AMD 760, VIA Apollo). The format grew once cost effective and solid performing DDR chipsets were available (VIA KT266A, SiS 735, et al). Motherboards based on these chipsets rendered PC100/133 chipsets obsolete. Around this time, it grew apparent to gamers and general enthusiasts alike that the bandwidth offered by DDR made a performance difference in games at the time (Ghost Recon, Serious Sam: Second Encounter, Black & White, Max Payne).

Gotta give props to the boss man for touching up the performance charts. There was a bit of a time crunch to get this posted so I didn't have a chance to do that myself.

Heh, give props to the boss man for having Clay do the final proofread. :D Clay's a first class touch up guy.

Nice review John. Good job on editing Ed in such a timely manner. :)

nice review... short and sweet...

while performance is obviously blazing, not much of an increase vis-a-vis price...

absolutely bleeding edge yes... necessary, perhaps not..

If I had an i875 I'd be drooling all over my self every second my pc was on with this ram.

And I hope so so badly that Gigabyte releases a better bios in the near future that allows for stable operation @ 275, 1:1... that would be sweet monkey pants for sure :p.
