It may not be quite the headline grabbing milestone that the first Gigahertz CPUs laid claim to, but Gigahertz memory modules for the desktop, and more importantly the motherboards required to drive them, are finally a reality, and in this review I want to look at two products that prove it.

The first contender is a Corsair part that TrustedReviews has looked at already, though at the time of testing nothing in the bunker had the capability to back up Corsair’s claims that frequencies of 1GHz plus should be perfectly feasible.The second contender, a member of Crucial’s Ballistix line of enthusiast modules, is actually rated to run at 1GHz, or PC2-8000 if you prefer to work that way, when set to 5-5-5-15 and when fed 2.2 volts.
