OCZ XTC PC2-4200 Gold DDR2 Review

The OCZ PC2 memory is rather impressive given its flexible and stable memory modules. They overclock extremely well and can be tweaked to support a wide range of frequencies and timings. This memory should make the overclocker and performance enthusiast very happy. The best overall system performance will come from running the CPU synchronously to the FSB, and this RAM will definately keep up with a 1:1 ratio.

This memory costs about the same as generic DDR2, but is extremely overclockable, includes efficient heatspreaders, killer looks, and best of all OCZ’s lifetime warranty. There is no reason to get generic DDR2 when this memory offers so much more for the same price.
