Corsair TwinX PC4400 DDR550 Memory Review @ Tweaknews

DDR550 is pretty dang fast for today’s computers but there are a few overclockers out there that enjoy testing the limits of their silicon.
"Contrary to the what the two mainstream chip manufacturers would want, overclocking is a strong and growing portion of what is driving computer sales today. To counter against the overclocking onslaught, chip manufacturers have in both cases locked the chip multiplier and locked the enthusiast out of pushing the CPU core high than stock. For example, Intel(r) has successfully locked the end user out of the ability to manipulate the multiplier for a couple of years now."
Don't forget that another side benefit of having super fast memory is the ability to run the modules with tighter timings in the lower FSB/memory speed ranges.
