Corsair, NVIDIA Announce SLI Memory

NVIDIA and Corsair claim that by using aggressive latencies, optimized SPD timings and non-JEDEC commands, DDR2 memory can reach in excess of 1.2GHz on reference AM2 motherboards. As we've mentioned before, when Tritium-certified components are present in nForce 590 motherboards, the system automatically overclocks core components. EPP memory, such as the memory Corsair has announced today, is one of those certified components and will automatically overclock."

SLI memory... ala, DDR? Hmm.... what's the difference?

Very interesting article. On the other hand, this seems very technical for many non-computer-geeks, and may be hard to explain to the average customer who wishes to buy new memory.

most things are hard to explain to the average consumer... :P

Very true indeed, yet the basis of it is never written clearly on the box. I would think that even though it sounds stupid, that simple things like "it makes your computer go faster" , or "better graphics in your games" on the title would help selling items like that :/

They should claim that the ram boosts SAT scores...
