Honours for releasing the world's first memory kit, optimised for the
AMD AM2 platform, are claimed by OCZ Technology today.
The 4GB dual channel kit, consisting of two 2GB modules, runs at speeds
of PC2-5400 (667MHz) and delivers timings of 5-5-5-15, with cooling
coming courtesy of OCZ's Titanium XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection)
heatspreader solution which is touted as relieving the build up of
heat, together with allowing for more effective heat dissipation
through the honeycomb design implemented by the company.
The modules require an operating VDIMM of between 1.80 and 2.00V,
however, as part of OCZ's EVP (Extended Voltage Protection) feature,
allow a maximum VDIMM setting of 2.10V, without invalidating the
lifetime warranty that OCZ provide.
Moving on, the kit is an AMD AM2 platform only SKU as the kit utilises,
what OCZ states is, AMD's sophisticated DDR2 platform, allowing for an
enhanced real world computing experience. With the 11 column address
bit support within the memory controller of the AM2 platform, OCZ have
crafted the modules to fully utilise this functionality, allowing for
the memory controller to stay 'in page' twice as long, when compared to
standard memory controllers. This delivers unparalleled performance
according to OCZ, as the 11 column address bit support allows for the
number of addresses in each row or page to be a maximum of 2048
individual entries, for a page size of 16kbit.
OCZ cite that the architecture of the modules, is well suited towards
large CAD module processing, as well as memory intense application such
as Adobe Photoshop.
