    DDR333 is here but due to low demand for the faster memory many companies are putting the faster chips on slower modules. Corsair XMS2400 comes to mind, if you check the Micron chip specs they where actually designed to be DDR333 memory chips.

    The International Olympic Committee decided to play it safe and will not be using 802.11 devices for their operations control.

So until a reliable and easy to use means of encryption is enabled for 802.11 it will remain unsafe for high security purposes.
