    Hynix expects the DDR500 to demand a 10-20% premium relative to DDR400 due to limited supply.

    This means its going to be bloody expensive ;)

    Probably, yes. Hopefully Hynix can produce some sticks themselves and sell them so that the other brands like Corsair, Geil and OCZ don`t steal all chips and double the prices like they do now.

    Check it out: Corsair XMS4000 (DDR500) modules :)
    Nasty timings (3-4-4-8) @ 2.75V, but you could O/C your system with a 1:1 memory ratio. Schweet :)
