nVidia and Corsair developed a new standard together, the standatd is called EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles), and allpyes to memmory modules. The aim of EPP is naturaly increased memmory performance. This technology is based on fine-tunning advanced BIOS settings to improve overall system performance.

EPP can be seen as an upgrade of the current SPD (Serial Presence Detct) which is nowdays widely used. SPD is the system that sets up your memmory timings, and some other parameters automaticaly. EPP will enhance that service by using available space inside the current SPD blocks and filling it up with usefull inforation about each individual DIMM module. The motherboards supporting EPP wil then use that information to get the best performance possible out of the memmory module, thus incresing system performance.

The new EPP memmory will be backwards compatible with all current motherboards (because the SPD blocks will function normally). nVidia has announced that it's new nForce 590 SLI chipset will fully support EPP, and the first EPP memmory modules are expected from, the standards codeveloper, Corsair by the end of this month.

EPP has been developed as an open standard, and nVidia expects it to be widely accepted by other memmory manufacturers.
