OCZ to Release 667MHz, 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM

OCZ Technology Tuesday unveiled plans to release DDR2 memory modules at unbelievably high speeds to satisfy the demands of hardcore computer enthusiasts and start ramping up the technology that has chances to go mainstream only next year.

Unbelievable Speeds Achieved Now

The Sunnyvale, California-based memory maker said that it would shortly release DDR2 memory modules PC2-4300, PC2-5300 and PC2-6400 at the speeds of 533MHz, 667MHz and 800MHz respectively, leaving all the competitors in the field of advanced memory modules behind.

“We believe that DDR2 modules at 667MHz and 800MHz will eventually become viable replacements for current DDR modules” said Dr. Michael Schuette, director of technology development with OCZ Technology Group.

“While there may not be an immediate benefit from the transition towards DDR2, OCZ, true to their reputation as market leader, is allocating resources towards the refinement of the DDR2 standard to develop the new EB DDR2 line of memory modules,” Mr. Schuette said.

Even though initial DDR2 platforms are not likely to benefit from DDR2 memory at 667MHz and 800MHz, such memory modules will be demanded by overclockers, who tend to squeeze all juices out of their personal computer systems. Furthermore, Silicon Integrated Systems, ATI Technologies and even ULi may release their core-logic products supporting DDR2 memory at 667MHz later this year.

well duh

! wonder why they think that? could it be that amd allready said along time ago they will be useing "DDR2 modules at 667MHz" soon with this new 939's this fall

he stated what allready been said lol

I worry about the prices
