Thats not bad at all....not surprising from Corsair really, they love stroking their ego's by pulling stunts like this.

Admittedly, it sounds like fun to try and best their score, but I think it might cost us, mere mortals, more than it cost Corsair..

Dominator has to be pocket change to a company that big.

Do Corsair actually own a fabrication plant?

In the market for enthusiasts, bragging rights are pretty much all-important. Very impressive, even so.

go, go, go Corsair!

changed from OCZ Platinum rev2 800Mhz 2x1GB 4-4-4-15 sticks to the cheapest Corsair XMS2 800Mhz 2x2GB 5-5-5-18. and got better overclock results than the lower density OCZ counterparts! even though i keep hearing higher density RAM won't overclock as good.
achieved 900Mhz with just 2.0v on the 4 Corsairs (4 pass on MemTest), while the 4 OCZ required 2.1v to get 800Mhz at same latency.
