One of the major thorn in the sides of any overclocker is the latency of the systems memory. Latency is the time it takes for requested data to be ready for reading from the memory, so it?s pretty obvious the lower you can get the latency values, the faster the memory will perform. Corsair has taken some of the pain away with its DDR400 modules, which feature the lowest latency timings available ? 2-2-2-5, making them the fastest around.
The new modules feature Corsair?s Plug-n-Frag technology, which has the latencies pre-programmed into the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) chip on the module. This means that the modules automatically boot up at the lowest settings, thus avoiding any more tweaking in the BIOS.
As with most of the Corsair range, the modules are available separately or more usefully as TwinX matched pairs .
