OCZ PC-3200 Dual Channel Platinum Limited Edition

     If you take a look around into some of the hardware forums on the web, you'll notice one of the number one questions that people ask about the most is "what do ram timings mean"? I personally have always tried to use the lowest latency settings possible, and only just recently has this changed with Intel promoting high FSB's and DDR chipsets. The first time I saw something labeled PC4000, I was wondering, sure but at what latencies, and voltages? One thing that can hurt overall system performance is loose memory latencies, and high DDR voltages. Most boards can handle the stress of high voltage settings, but if you pay close attention to your hardware monitor you'll notice the higher you take it up, the more it has a chance to fluctuate. One thing that people simply don't realize is that lower latencies and lower voltages can equate out to a more efficient, cooler running, and higher performing system, which is especially the case with mainstream computer systems. Your typical mainstream system would be something between mid-range and high-end, but its still worth quite a bit and usually is better performing than any kind of system you can buy off the showroom floor, because its yours...It might be overclocked, water-cooled, and customized to your liking... You may even have a cold cathode or two, but most of all you can upgrade to anything you want, so long as your budget allows it. Well mainstream users, you're in luck because with the demise of BH-5 memory modules we bring you the next consecutive modules, Winbond BH-6, and ClubOC has the newest configuration of BH-6's, OCZ's PC-3200 Dual Channel Platinum Limited Edition...
