The Itanium is an architecture that will be around for the next 20 years
Fastest ever DDR3 for Intel i7 clocked
FREMONT CHIP SHOP CORSAIR has announced from its California compound that its new line of high performance memory modules, built especially for Intel's Core i7 systems, will be available from today.
Complete with Carlos Fandango racing stripes and natty red livery, the memory sticks features Corsair's dual-path heat exchange technology to stop the things bursting into flames, and arrive in the form of a three-stick 6GB kit running at 2000Hz with 7-8-7 latencies.
Removable fins allow for the addition of more extreme cooling systems including water cooling which could lower the ambient temperature by as much as 20°C for those in the overclocker nutter fraternity.
And if you're a paid-up member of that particular club, you'll be interested to know that Corsair will be offering very limited quantities of hand-screened, hand-tuned modules in both 3GB and 6GB kits. These kits are specifically designed to allow hardcore overclockers to squeeze out that extra megahurt, and are built with the fastest chips available. µ

I already posted this article yesterday here - http://forums.eteknix.com/showthread.php?t=186 - I submitted it to the editor, but it wasn't posted, any ideas as to why?
Thanks, Andy
...really? My, guess we'd better hold on to our hats at that speed...
2000 MHz would be closer to the truth...
Believe its 250Mhz/s kore:ddr:500ddr2:1,000ddr3:2,000. its' moung
fast for time, yet ddr3 3,600 Mhz/s just is Lucky Number to Hope for. There are already faster tested than that by near ?twice. Triple Channel & MATCHED Are Big deals. Drashek
A-Data XPG X Series v2.0 memory, the DDR3-2133X v2.0 2GBx3 triple-channel kit already achieved NEW WORLD RECORD of SuperPi 32m record of 6min 40sec 360ms was achieved at a speed of 2237 MHz and latency settings of 8-7-7-21 using DDR3-2133X v2.0 2GBx3 triple-channel kit. Don't be suprise 2000Mhz already out in market quite a while.
Sorry, but this wasnt advertised as the fastest DDR3 memory, but the fastest DDR3 for the i7. The i7 memory contorller can fry at mem volts over 1.65, rulling out any kit with high volts (ie 2.0V).
I work in hardware, hardware testing, hardware modeling on FPGAs, etc.
With speeds, densities of RAMs and cutting processes and technologies the way they are today, not having ECC on has become simply criminal.
It is impossible to assert DDR3 at these speeds works at all without ECC, Sorry, its true.
There is no point in not having ECC to gain a small performance increase. The problem with DRAM is not bandwidth, its latency which has barely improved. So random access performance continues to stink yet may sacrifice the knowledge that the memory actually works (via ECC) to gain a little bit more in terms of bandwidth, which in real life is barely useful as a general purpose system isn't a video card frame buffer.

Memory is bad, and with densities increasing along with speed with massive cost cutting efforts, people simply wont know if the cheap memory they are getting works at all.
Shame, shame on Intel for apparently disabling ECC on the Non-XEON Core i7 CPUSs.

Did i mention triple channel kit previous post?? which mean it meant for Core i7!! DDR3 high performance rams had a very good overclocking space so nothing special bout this Dominator GT thingy, by simply tighten the timings. Its juz another market gimmick.
Way to be classy Martin... Everyone knows that DDR3 2000 is an old mile marker (congrats, you’re in the running Obvious Award), but you dont seem to understand the topic at hand. The Dominator GT is fastest kit rated at Intel's recommended 1.65V. This makes it (for what its worth, marketing ploy or not) officially the FASTEST DDR3 KIT FOR THE ---i7---. I hope the capital letters help :).
