OCZ Technology DDR2 PC2-8000 Platinum XTC Extreme Edition

The competition between premier memory manufacturers seems almost about kudos above all else. One manufacturer announces a world first in terms of speed, only to be trumped by another announcing low latencies coupled with high speeds.

OCZ Technology recently launched low-latency DDR2 parts available in both 1GByte and 2GByte kits. Running at PC8000 speeds, or 1000MHz, its DDR2 PC2-8000 Platinum XTC Extreme Edition memory operates with 4-5-4-15 timings. What's more, it sports some funky new heatspreaders. Read on to see if this is the best PC8000 memory available and if it's right for you.
