I don't agree with that airspirit. In my experience I've found that the XMS memory does what they claim it will, but not a whole lot more. Their cas 2 timings are 2-5-3-3 as far as I can remember, and I had difficulty getting it stable at settings better than that when running at its stock speed (200MHz). Sure, relaxed timings will let you crank up your FSB a little, but I bet that most of their ram that does significantly better than PC3200 gets thrown in the 3500 bin. Also, what's with having to use a VDIMM of 2.8 to get the memory to run at its stock settings? I don't care if they guarantee to that voltage or not... it should be PC3200 at the default 2.6V.
