Neoseeker has published a review of Corsair's PC2-8888 2GB kit, the TWIN2X2048-8888. This module runs at a blazing 1111MHz with 4-4-4-12 timings, which makes it literally one of the fastest low latency RAM in the world. We test it against a multitude of high speed, low latency memory and also push it to the limit on 680i and 975X platforms.

"Because it simply screamed when the right balance of FSB/CPU/memory speed was achieved, and because I was able to hit a scorching 1131-4-4-4-12 setting. Let's face it. As soon as you get any memory that hits 1000-4-4-4-12 you are pretty much laughing. After PC8000 you really are only looking for how easy it is to get it running at 1000MHz+, how far above it you can push the memory if you are lucky enough to have a motherboard and chipset that can handle it, and on how many motherboards it will run at that speed. How high you can push the memory is a good indication of the quality of the stick; and often because of processor or FSB limitations you may still be better off to run the memory at less than its maximum speed - if you can run it with a higher FSB and a higher CPU speed."
