Just got word from our bro's over at DriverHeaven that their OCZ EL DDR PC-4200 Dual Channel memory review is out! these sticks are capable of achieving outrageous speeds of up to 533 MHz at CL2.5*.
OCZ Technologies, a company oozing quality, their latest products have been getting rave reviews the net over, with even Anandtech stating, the PC4200 is the "fastest memory available", so needless to say I had high hopes when testing out 2x256 of these modules. Hynix make the 4ns ram modules and these are quite expensive to manufacture, as some of you know most of the high end ram (that being PC4000 and PC4200) is generally based on Samsung TCC or Hynix Rev. B.
As stated in other articles ive seen reviewing this memory and after my brief chat with an OCZ representative during the week the memory is given the title "universal" DDR due to its ability to run CAS2 @ 200/400mhz as well as a quite spectacular 2.5 CAS at the top rated 533mhz - ill delve into the CAS2 rating in a little while. In typical OCZ fashion the ram comes in a Dual matched module kit , has the trademark high quality OCZ copper heat spreaders and a lifetime warranty. The ram is rated CL 2.5-4-4-7 and is ULN technology (U)ltra (L)ow (N)oise shielded PCB. It is rated at 2.8 volts but in theory will handle 3 volts or more, OCZ state it will remain under warranty to 2.9 volts but as usual there is always a little extra "play" with these recommendations. That might seem like alot of voltage but bear in mind that Corsairs TwinX memory requires 2.75v to get to 250mhz and also JEDEC have stated the "default voltage" specifications for 3200 memory have altered from 2.5v to 2.6v.
