Review @ AnandTechCorsair Dominator PC2-10000 has the highest speed rating of any production DDR2 memory. Rated at a jaw dropping DDR2-1250 (PC2-10000) this Dominator meets and actually exceeds its rated specifications. Corsair specifies 5-5-5-18 at DDR2-1250 at 2.4V. Our benchmarking found the Dominator 10000 to be stable at 5-4-4-12 timings at 2.4V at DDR2-1250. There is even more good news in the fact that Corsair Dominator 10000 reaches speeds of DDR2-1315 at rated timings. This matches the highest speed ever achieved in benchmarking DDR2 memory. These facts alone definitely qualify Corsair Dominator XMS2-10000 as a very desirable memory.
There is more to this story, however. To reach these performance levels you will need to pair the Corsair Dominator 10000 with an NVIDIA 680i motherboard. You cannot achieve this performance using an Intel 975X chipset motherboard. You may be able to perform nearly as well on recent Intel P965 chipset motherboards, but that is still open to verification. In limited testing we did confirm that DDR2-1250 can be achieved on the ASUS Commando P965 motherboard, but we did not explore the highest overclock on that platform. We will be doing more with the Commando board in the near future.
