Super Talent DDR2-800 Gaming Memory Awarded ATI CrossFire Certification

Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of DRAM memory modules and flash products, today announced that their 800MHz DDR2 modules have passed ATI CrossFire Certification.

Super Talent's most popular gaming memory kit, T800UX2GC4, has passed ATI's intensive qualification testing, which ensures that this Super Talent memory kit is compatible with the ATI CrossFire gaming platform. ATI's Certification List can be found here.

"ATI CrossFire epitomizes high-performance gaming that combines blistering frame rates with breath-taking image quality, and Super Talent's high-end memory kit is a perfect complement," said Godfrey Cheng, director, platform technologies, AMD Graphics Product Group. "ATI CrossFire certification ensures that gamers get the high quality compatibility for their gaming configurations, and Super Talent's T800UX2GC4 memory kit is a welcome addition to our ATI CrossFire Certified line up."

The T800UX2GC4 memory kit was developed by Super Talent engineers in San Jose, California to support the growing need for high speed, low latency DDR2 memory among extreme gamers. This kit is built in Super Talent's Silicon Valley factory from carefully screened components, then is hand tested in leading enthusiast motherboards at 800MHz (PC2-6400), at advanced 4-4-3-8 latencies at 2.2 volts. The kit is tested as a matched pair, then packaged as a kit immediately after testing. Gaming enthusiasts can find T800UX2GC4 at NewEgg and other online resellers for about $220.

Is there any DDR2-800 memory that wouldn't work with Crossfire? Cause I think this "certification" nonsense is just a way for some companies to make more money by paying ATI to tell consumers that their products are the best, when they arent. Kind of like paying protection to ur favorite Mob boss.

Well the only thing good I can say about this is, you know for sure that it will work in a crossfire platform. Not everyone is like us and knows this stuff. I dont know if they charge more for the cert, but I do know that while 99% of it is marketing bullhockey, the other 1% does help out the newbs on pc building.

Why does anyone care? So my BIOS can detect SLI memory and/or not, and it doesn't make a bit of a difference either way...

Most people arent as smart as we are about hardware. Any company that dosent pay protection to ATI/nVidia is going to sale less than they need to stay afloat.
Although, when talking about high-end PC hardware, hopefully there are more people who know what they are spending 3000$ on. So its only the companies making budget or mainstream solutions that really need all of these "certified" nonsense. We see this most with Windows Vista.
