Holy crap!
G.Skil 2x1GB PC2 8500 memory
At rated 4-4-4-5 timings. That's better than everything else I've ever seen DDR2 wise. Holy crap. I'm thinking I might get a kit of this and a QX6700/Barcelona come June instead of 4 GB of DDR2 800 because those timings are marvelous. You simply have no idea. Most other memory kits have timings twice as slow. Just WOW!

Nice price 
And yeah, usual DDR2 memory is like 4-4-4-15, or 5-5-5-15, but these are very low..
Why is this important...? Well, processors right now are faster than RAM, and a big bottleneck to computers is the CPU waiting for the RAM to catch up with it ~.~
The forth number, which I think is the RAS latency, is very low.. and I'mn sure these can go farther than stock settings too..
lol, looking at 500 dollar memory... I wish I could do that

What do the latency numbers mean?

QUOTE
tCAS
The number of clock cycles needed to access a certain column of Data in SDRAM. CAS Latency, or simply CAS, is known as Column Address Strobe Latency, sometimes referred to as tCL.
tRCD
The number of Clock cycles needed between a Row Address Strobe (RAS) and a CAS. It is the time required between the computer defining the row and column of the given memory block and the actual read or write to that location. Stands for Row address to Column address Delay.
tRP
The number of clock cycles needed to terminate access to an open row of memory, and open access to the next row. Stands for Row precharge time.
tRAS
The minimum number of clock cycles needed to access a certain row of data in RAM between the data request and the precharge command. Known as Active to Precharge Delay.

Look at those timings! And look at that price! A tad on the expensive side, but I guess if you're going on a binge..
