Endless Paradigm

CeBIT'07 new product avalanche is about to hit us like a hundred walkyries brandishing bratwursts, cellphones dipped in sauerkraut and RAM modules like the new Corsair XMS2 Dominator. This 2 Gbytes DDR2 module is now available in PC2-9136 and PC2-10000 speeds and they come with more acronyms than a NASA launch checklist: they have DHX (Dual-path Heat Xchange) with a dedicated heatsink for the PCB (printed circuit board). On top of that, they are NVIDIA SLI ready and feature EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles), which enhances SPD (Serial Presence Detect) and apparently is great for over-clocking. OK, Corsair. WEE (whatever). I'll be waiting for the gold version myself. I don't care about overclocking, I just want the bling-bling.

That took a while to come out...

I expected a 250MHz (core) DDR2 module to be out ages ago, especially considering that I have, myself, two 250MHz (core) DDR modules, bought over a year ago (and was out long before that).
(For your information, DDR2 rated speeds are really 4x the core clock speed, so "1000MHz DDR2" really runs at 250MHz; for DDR, it's double)

If I recall correctly, at the time I was buying stuff, the fastest DDR module I could find was OCZ's 600MHz one.  If that speed was translated into DDR2, then that would be 1.2GHz!
