Corsair introduced their PC3200 XL memory last June. The modules are built using Samsung chips which have timings of 2-2-2 at DDR400 speeds. Not only do these chips allow for extremely low latencies at DDR400, but they also have plenty of headroom, allowing for clock speeds in excess of DDR500! The entry of this memory into the market not only signified the return of high-speed, low-latency memory, but also the opening of the floodgates; the drowning of the market in 2-2-2 modules. Soon after Corsair's introduction, most other major memory manufacturers followed suit. After Corsair's entry, Mushkin and OCZ were among the first to bring their own 2-2-2 memory to the market. Soon after, everyone and their mother had their own memory based on the new Samsung chips. Well, everyone but Crucial, who used similarly rated Micron chips for their PC3200. We have gotten our hands on a few different flavors of this new low latency memory, and today we will be looking at a 1 GB set of Corsair's TwinX PC3200 XL Pro which is rated to use timings of 2-2-2-5 at DDR400 speeds."
