The TWINX is just the way they identify the matched set of
CMX512-3200LLs.
According to Corsair these are fun tested on an ASUS A7N8X Nforce 2
setup before they are shipped and are represented at 2-3-2-6, command
rate 1T.
I've tried them at 2.6v and 2.7 with no difference.
Maybe this particular board has a capacitance problem on the clock
side of the bus. I'm at a loss for now.
tnx
