   I think crucial makes great memory. I have a stick of 3200 at 2.5-2-2-11 on 2.6v. One thing I did notice about this Ballistix memory is that it is rated at 2.8v insted of 2.6v. I wonder if regular Crucial memory at 2.8v could do cas2? From what I've heard, the heat spreaders don't do much. I could be wrong. Still good to hear that Crucial will be entering the performance segment.

   Any info on the pricing ? I don't care much for ram faster then PC3200 for those modules will probably be very expensive. But what about PC3200 modules ?Corsair always had very competitive prices compared to other brands. & those modules still have a lifetime warranty I take it.

   Looks mighty impressive. I want to see how it performs in comparison to the other enthusiast brands (Corsair, OCZ, Mushkin, etc.).

   I wonder what kind of performance I could generate from this memory if the heat sink was replaced with a waterblock?

   Probably not too much of a difference Scotty-B, the guys over at [url]http://www.xtremesystems.org/[/url] run some very impressive systems with LN2 cooling and insane bus-speeds but they do not cool their memory that much...As far as I have seen memory cooling does not really make much of a difference...
