OCZ EL DDR2 PC2-6400 Platinum XTC Review
Value and Conclusion
- Two 512 MB modules of OCZ's PC2-6400 Platinum XTC are going for around $199.
- Very good maximum clocks
- Great performance
- Lots of overclocking headroom
- Timings can be tightened a lot
- Warranty for higher voltage
- May be a bit expensive
If you want to overclock your Intel platform to its maximum, get this memory. This is the first memory where I wished I had an even better test system. With the CPU in the 4.4GHz range the memory had no trouble performing and I think there is quite some headroom left.
However, with a price tag of $200 for a 1 GB kit, this memory is expensive for the 2-3% performance you can get over using standard memory at 1:1. Still, 2-3% are what makes the difference between winning or losing in a benchmarking competition.
