Well the preview was run on a Gigabyte EX58-UD5 and an ASUS P6T, so we know those two will work for sure so far. ;)

Oh I know they are. I just bought a DDR3 1600MHz Mushkin kit last week because its the only PC3-12800 kit that has stock 7-8-7-20 timings...and now Corsair is temping me with their Dominator GT at 400MHz more. When is the torture going to end?!

Well, these new 50 nanometer Elpida ICs that the Dominator GT is running are capable of data transfer rates of up to 2500Mbps while operating at 1.2v, 1.35v and 1.5v voltages. I'm sure we'll get there sooner than most expect. ;)

Yeah this particular kit is going to run 1.65v to comply with initial Nehalem spec, lol don't worry.

The price is still unknown, but according to some rumors and unconfirmed info, it should sell at around US $650. I hope not though...I want these to be under $500!

I'm 17. I wrote that fudzilla article by the way. Let me know what you think, as I am a new guy on their team (was looking for work, they offered, and I thought they could use a credibility boost so I opted for the job).

Yeah that's because its at 16:9 monitor that was just released last month. I don't know if you know this, but the industry is moving toward the 16:9 standard in the PC industry, so pretty soon you'll see a lot more of these popping up on store shelves under different manufacturers.

Here's how it looks in Crysis and on my Desktop. It truly displays like a dream. :)

I am so very glad I have this monitor. Samsung rocks. Seriously.
