The highly anticipated return of Voltage Extreme memory from OCZ is finally here. The latest revision rolls in with DDR2-1000 speeds and a very tight 4-4-4-15 timing set. They are not called Voltage Extreme for nothing though. Let's see how far these can be pushed...

The modules use Micron D9 chips, but I am unsure of the -specific- version. They are indeed 333MHz binned IC's though, so they would be quite similar to D9GMH, which we see in some of Corsairs fastest modules. Though 333MHz seems like an odd choice for a 500MHz module, D9's have been sweeping the enthusiast circle over the past few months, and have proved to be hardcore tweaker's. While they are able to achieve the same performance as the 400MHz IC's, they cost far less. These ones specifically are designed to handle a lot of voltage, hence why "Voltage eXtreme" is appropriate.

As noted by Tony, "VX2 is the perfect match for the next generation AMD AM2 and Intel Conroe processors, which gain substantial levels of performance when matched with high frequency low latency DDR2 modules under overclocked conditions".
