Why isn't there high performance memory for laptops?

I was just wondering, it seems that there would possibly be a nice market for high performance soddim sticks wouldn't there?

I mean laptop users are stuck with either 533 4-4-4-12 stick or 667 5-5-5-12 sticks.. can't they make 667 4-4-4-12 sticks? even though performance wouldn't increase dramatically people would still pay top doller for that... just like with desktops...

I was just thinking... what do you guys think?
 
Maybe it's a voltage/heat/power consumption issue. Memory chips with good bandwidth/timings almost always require more volts than 'normal' memory, right?
 
I suspect that it has more to do with a captive audience. Unlike desktops, people rarely build their own laptops, and simply have to choose from what's available. The main reason that PCs have so many options is because their are so many builders that demand them, and the market is more competitive.
 
because Mhz and timmings really mean crap in terms of performance. PLus most laptop manufacters would perfer to have something they know is stable instead of cutting edge and have more chance of going bad.
