DriverHeaven.net - OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 / 800MHz / Gold Edition / Enhanced Latency

Conclusion

It’s hard not to like the OCZ Technology PC2-6400- Gold, the sticks provide you with excellent performance at stock speeds such as the great time saving we saw in our DVD creation test. 30 seconds saving per hour of encoding really is impressive. Another impressive result was the Photoshop test where the OCZ DDR2-800 outperforms the older DDR2-667 by a few seconds. Of course the more you use Photoshop with the DDR2-800 the less time you wait for the system to do what you ask and the more productive you will be. It’s all about the cumulative effect with these sticks rather than any instant performance gain.

We’re also pleased to report that these sticks were completely stable throughout our testing and regardless of how long or hard we tested them there was never once a memory related issue. When you add to this that the sticks are actually under warranty at a higher spec of 2.2v and that they come with a lifetime warranty you should have no concerns about them lasting you a long, long time. In fact you may even find yourself keeping them for longer than your CPU or GFX card.

OCZ’s PC2-6400 Gold are available now priced at the very reasonable $200 or £122 which also makes them very good value.
