With DDR2 and DDR3 speeds increasing every quarter, system memory latencies have also had to keep up in the never-ending race for higher memory performance. Most of today's high-end DDR2 memory kits run at CAS 4 and 5, but Kingston has taken us back to ultra low latencies with their HyperX 2GB DDR2-800 kit that runs at 3-3-3-10! I guess the real question we will answer in this review is: What matters more – higher bandwidth or lower latency?
