I've heard that the XMS3200C2 PRO uses Hynix D43 chips. While I'm not sure if the XMS3200LL PRO uses Hynix D32 or Winbond CH-5 (based on a 2-3-2 timing, I think they use CH-5). Those are prolly the 2nd, and 3rd best overclocking chips mass-produced currently (BH-5 = #1 
). Hynix D43 is usually perferred for higher FSB, looser timings (2-3-3 @ DDR400; 3-4-4 @ DDR500+), while CH-5 run at decent timings (2-3-2) between DDR400-433.

I can squeeze 2.5-3-3-6 out of the corsair at 259 Mhz FSB at 2.8 Vdim, raising it more doesnt seem to have much effect on it. Lowering the timings to 3-4-4-8 gives me stable mem uptill 285 Mhz FSB.

one word for those new aesthetics:
*STUPID.*
Its eye candy for wannabe-OCers.

What exactly would the definition be for a wannabe overclocker ? There needs to be a certain % boost now to label yourself as an overclocker ? gee and here silly me was thinking it was all about the fun and joy of tweaking your system to get some extra performance within your own perception of safety margins.

I don't see 2-2-2 timings anywhere whatsoever for any pro-stick listed anywhere on their site...

If they promised 2-2-2 timings, then they would be getting alot of RMA's. The chips just arn't as capable.
For the aesthetics, it depends on how its used. If someone goes out and buys a Chieftec w/ a window, throws in 2 CCFLs and these and then brags about it, well there's tackiness right there. However, if you incorporate it in a greater theme of the mod, then it could be a very cool thing.
If it were me, I'd sacrifice timings for CPU speed (FSB). RAM bandwidth helps here and there, but GHz help everywhere. That is, in a situation where it's tight like this. I'd sit back and wait for broader results than the few we have now until I judge the Pro sticks.

read that article. it should clear some things up real quick about wether or not they have improved performance.

who cares i think the LEDs are a cool idea for someone that has the money, they arent much uise for guagin mem use you have to llok over at you window not the monitor to see them, but there a nice way to spice up an otherwise lacking RAM mod genre
