G.Skill Snags Speed Crowd for World's Fastest Memory

We can remember when G.Skill wasn't really in the discussion when it came to high end modules, but that hasn't been the case for some time now. Case in point: the memory maker just released a DDR3 kit rated at 2500MHz, which ranks as the fastest memory around.
"G.Skill is dedicated to continuously developing the best performance memory modules on the market, to satisfy the demands of extreme overclockers and gamers. We are proud of the continual milestones we are still setting in the memory industry, and we believe the collaboration with Asus brings the best technology synergy for furture product development," said Tony Chou, Senior R&D Manager at G.Skill.
The collaboration Chou refers to involves strict testing of their new Trident memory on Asus' P7P55D-E Deluxe and P7P55D-E EVO motherboards. G.Skill also said the dual-channel kit has been specifically designed for Intel's Core i7 860 and 870 processors.
Unfortunately, the memory maker also left out a few details, including latencies, pricing information, and availability.

I am on the verge of building a new 2500k system. I am just waiting on some mobo availability. Any way i did some research on RAM and I decided to go with 4 meg Mushkin, lowest latency I can find, like this:

You know that memory speed in MHZ beyond the bus speed is actually pointless. I point to several articles that show little to no improvement in performance. Rather I believe a large triple channel kit in a size like 12gigs that features say a 1600mhz clock and say a 1 or 2 cas latency. I want DDR3 memory with extremely low latencies. That is what is noticeable. When I was messing around with DDR2 I could easily tell the difference in Windows between Cas 3 and 4 and 5. So give me some really groovy low cas latencies and I'll be happy with 1600mhz ram.

Case in point concerning the negligable effect of RAM speed:

Honestly this is more about bragging rights, 1600mhz is their bread and butter for system builders. I would have loved to have known what they could have made if the voltage limit on Intel processors wasn't 1.65 for the ram.

title should say Crown not Crowd and G.Skill working with Asus could be interesting.
