i think it stays for xtreme low latency.
and as far as i know, is latency the time it needs to send the data to the mainboard. but im not entirely shure about that

yea, latency can also be referred to as "lag" and lag is bad... Low latency is good!

it depends on how much you want to spend. If you want really really good stuff go with some top of the line OCZ.
