“You know the drill: countless hours spent in front of the magic box, doing research trying to get the most performance for your hard earned dollars. You have the latest and greatest of everything and now the one piece of the puzzle that is missing is your system memory. Well look no further, as we have a winner! Mushkin has just released their highest speed rated modules in the form of the XP2-9200. This set of 2 X 1 Gigabyte modules are specified to run at 1150 mhz (575 fsb), with 5-5-4-12 latencies. Recently Mushkin has been shipping all of their HP and XP series modules with EPP programming as an added feature. EPP, or Enhanced Performance Profiles, is an added bit of programming included on the SPD chip of the memory, to improve compatibility as well as allowing for one setting to control memory timings, overclocking and performance.”Here are some more Memory articles from around the web:

Run 1:1, if you can get your processor to keep up
Mushkin’s XP2-9200 runs at 1150MHz @ 5-5-4-12 out of the box, and Overclocker’s Club pushed it to 1200MHz without any effort at all. With a different board and a bump in voltage, these DIMMs can probably go even further. As this RAM will keep up with any processor on the market right now, it lets you take full advantage of a 1:1 ratio between RAM and CPU.
