Highest Memory Speed (Highest Ratio) Performance
Memory performance continues to scale to the Highest Ratio Memory Speeds we could achieve with each memory. The Buffalo and OCZ reached DDR2-1100, while the Crucial Ballistix topped out at a similar DDR2-1084. At the top speed all three memories were near 5-5-5 timings, which made the DDR2-1100 advantage very thin in most instances.

Wow, that's some nice memory!Kinda makes me feel a little less rediculously proud of the Mushkin XP2 PC2-5300 2gb sticks that I'll possess tomorrow.
Oh well, at least I paid less than half the price of either of these!
And to the above poster: Get a life!
