Corsair pushes speed envelope with 2,333MHz Dominator GTX RAM modules

Corsair and speed generally run in the same circles, so it follows logic to see said memory outfit cranking out the planet's fastest Intel XMP-certified RAM. The 2,333MHz Dominator GTX now has Intel's stamp of approval, and it easily surpasses the company's 2,000MHz stuff that was king of the castle just yesterday. As the story goes, each module is "hand screened" and tested to the hilt before being shipped to end users, which apparently explains the $200 per 2GB stick that you'll be asked to lay down. Speed kills... the wallet.

I guess I have to paint flames on my RAM to make me feel better. Flames=Fast :)

@thesafecigarette or just oc the "hell" of it till u produce real ones :]

@TjK
Haha either way. I guess it would come down to personal preference

@thesafecigarette
I'm putting speed-holes in mine.

Speed kills...*puts on shades*...the wallet.

YEAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Lovely, but you'd be insane to buy this stuff!

Ok, i get it, it's aimed at enthusiasts who just want the best regardless of cost, but this is gonna make sod all difference to 1600MHz DDR3 in the vast majority of things.

Woo 1fps increase!!1!11

Not everything is about games though, and some applications actually need to shuffle stuff around in RAM, sure not that many, but they do exist.
Photoshop for instance uses lots of RAM , and other such applications, used by professionals that don't like waiting for the data to be shuffled around.
Plus this is a start for the future, once the cores start multiplying and we have 6 or 8 or 12 and they all need to be fed data speed becomes more important won't it? Or it'll start to bottleneck like crazy (although there's talk of moving to DDR5 already for some time).

I have these but the ones @1866 and the SCREAM. I've read the 2000mhz and these now can only run if your CPU u is clocked at 4.4ghz or higher, or if you have an extreme edition i7. I use about 4gb's at a time on my computer and I never have slow ups, and these are a main factor.

This can't just be called a "stick of RAM" it should be treated with some respect... like THE RAM.... When the i9's come out this will destroy Crysis benchmarks... no joke
