Boiling down my thoughts and impressions of Corsair's PC4400 ram is no easy chore. The good and the not so good points have placed me in the uncomfortable position of being torn between two different, yet equally important factors. For one, DDR550 memory bandwidth to say the least is amazing. Having the ability to overclock my favorite 2.4C processor to 3.3Ghz while using a 1:1 divider does definitely give your system the performance boost expected from such high end memory. Observed performance increases were very impressive and anyone with a capable system will love the increase in gaming framerates and performance. But this leads me to the operative word in that last sentence, "capable".
