Post to SlashdotCorsair Memory announced its new memory modules for personal computers powered by AMD Athlon 64 FX processors. The new chips are not only the fastest offerings available for AMD’s enthusiast-oriented 64-bit CPUs, but are also the industry’s first registered memory modules with 433MHz clock-speed.
The new TwinX1024RE-3500LLPT kit of registered memory modules with ECC is tested and certified to operate at aggressive latency settings (2-3-2-6) to offer optimum performance. The parts all feature Corsair’s Plug-n-Frag SPD’s so the modules boot at the advanced 2-3-2-6 settings with no tweaking.
“This product will offer gaming enthusiasts a path to reach new performance peaks with the Athlon 64 FX processor, without the need to tweak latency settings,” a spokesperson for Corsair Memory said.
Registered memory modules and AMD Athlon 64 FX microprocessors are not generally considered as good overclockers, though, there are some bright exceptions: OCZ Technology recently said its PC3200 ECC memory sticks had been set to work at 524MHz with an AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 processor by an enthusiast. It is likely that users of Corsair’s TwinX1024RE-3500LLPT kit of registered memory modules will also take advantage of higher memory speeds.
Matched pair of 512MB 433MHz registered memory modules is available immediately through Corsair resellers worldwide.
