These are absolutely terrible. They bring shame on the Ballistix brand.

I suspect they are rated at cas 10 to comply with the latest 2nd gen core i3, i5 and i7 cpu motherboards in which the cpu's have their own clock gen rather than the motherboard and this controls the clocks rather than the motherboard. I suspect whacking them in an older p45 mobo they would be capable of more... possibly??

Why would that affect the latency? You can still set this manually, it has nothing to do with the CPU. The actual clock speed does as the new CPUs don't care much for 1800 and 2000MHz modules, but that's a multiplier issue rather than a latency issue.

Also, what's with putting sport in the name? What makes a DIMM sporty? :shadedshu

yeh good point, lol, sport whats that all about.... and yeh its the BCLK which is largely restricted to the 2nd gen core 's cpus but it seriously wouldn't surprise me if they did far better in testing with an older gen motherboard

Please save "Sport" for non-sports cars and tampons. Not a big Crucial fan here.
