OCZ PC2-8000 Platinum
Edition XTC
OCZ has been a leader in high speed memory for some time now. To
stay on top of the memory market you are going to have to keep
delivering new products that are faster. While that sounds
logical, it's not always easy. Just when you think you can't go
faster, something happens that allows you to. For a while now, the
idea of reaching 1000MHz memory speed was just that, an idea. Now
it's a reality thanks to memory such as the OCZ PC2-8000 Platinum
Edition XTC. Breaking 1000MHz is pretty exciting and I'm anxious
to play with it so let's get started.

* XTC (Xtreme Thermal
Convection) heatspreaders optimize the thermal management of memory
modules by promoting greater airflow by means of micro-convection
throughout what is usually the dead air space inside conventional
heatspreader designs. In this manner, build-up of heat is avoided and
thermal dissipation of the memory components is offloaded more
efficiently through the honeycomb design. At the same time, mechanical
stability is maintained.
**OCZ EVP (Extended Voltage Protection) is a feature that allows
performance enthusiasts to use a VDIMM of 2.2V ± 5% without invalidating
their OCZ Lifetime Warranty.
The
bad thing about extreme speed is you usually have to sacrifice something
in order to achieve it. In this case, we are sacrificing latency
to achieve a 1GHz speed. At this speed though the extreme speed
may make up for the slow timings. We'll see.
