Corsair runs DDR 2 at 1250 MHz

Our chap used PC6400 C4 memory and managed to get 2GB of the memory working at an amazing 1250MHz. We reached 11843 MB/s in Sandra benchmark – almost twice as much as you would get with Intel’s 955X chipset with PC 5300 memory at CL3. Corsair can brand this memory as PC 9600 and will be ready to ship in a month or two. The chap was using Asus AM2 board powered with Nforce 5 and managed to overclock Athlon 64 FX 62 at 3129 MHz. The FSB was running at 312.9 MHz and you actually do need this kind of the speed to show the real teeth of this memory.

I am impressed mostly by the fact that it’s a 2GB kit. Usually with new mindblowing speeds, they start off with 1GB, but Corsair doesn’t believe in the low-road apparently.
