Is this the day for companies to send out PR's on overclocking records? Do any of our forum members care how fast a board can run a single memory module? Enthusiasts and gamers want 2GB+ of memory in their system with all the trends pointing to users wanting 4GB by the end of the year as people move over to Vista. Running 2GHz memory with a single module at 10-10-10 just isn't impressive to me... Am I nuts or what? Maybe it's a fact that Gigabyte helped a site do it with unreleased processors and cherry picked parts...

It's good showing for Micron I guess, I'm sure not many chips can do 2Ghz at the moment, even in single channel, just showing off what their product can do. You're right though, nobody wants to run 1GB at 10-10-10 but meh...
