The memory speeds
just keep getting faster and faster. At this rate we should see
DDR600 in no time. There have been a few cases of individuals
overclocking their memory to DDR600 levels, but I think the time is
short until we see DDR600 available. Until that happens you are
going to have to "settle" for PC4200 or DDR533 memory.
GeIL has
been making fast memory for a while now, and currently they are among
the fastest in stock speed. GeIL was kind enough to send over a
dual channel kit of their fastest memory.

GeIL has decked out their fastest RAM with Platinum heatspreaders.

You
can see the faint remains of the original memory manufacturer in the
above picture. In this instance, GeIL chose Hynix as their memory
chip. In the below picture, I've highlighted the "H" in hynix.

I
don't believe GeIL is trying to hide
anything here. The truth is most high speed memory is either Hynix or Samsung chips.
