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).
