High-performance RAM? Is that a joke?
RAM is RAM. Assuming the module is not defective, a RAM chip of the same rating, same CL spec (CAS Latency), etc will work the same regardless of manufacturer.
If you have a fast machine (e.g. a 1.8/2x2 G5) and you have PC3200 CL2.5 DDR400 DIMMs in your machine, it will run as fast as it can.
Corsair sells RAM with blinking LEDs and heat sinks, but these don't really make the RAM faster. The heat sinks make it so you can theoretically overclock the motherboard (and thus the RAM) and not have the RAM generate errors due to heat. Since you cannot overclock the motherboard on a G5, there's no value in this. And, the LEDs just look silly.
