Introduction:

It is hard to say if DDR2 memory will ever really catch on because Intel is currently the only supporter of this technology. However, that has not stopped memory manufacturers from designing high-performance memory modules to try and take full advantage of this emerging technology. OCZ has a full selection of DDR2 memory, from the Value line to the coveted Titanium series, available in various capacities and speeds. With prices falling and performance increasing, DDR2 memory is slowly working its way into the mainstream, and OCZ is there constantly innovating a better product to meet consumer needs.

OCZ's PC2-5400 EB Platinum DDR2 memory is rated to run at DDR2-667MHz at 2.1V with 4-2-2-8 timings, which translates for most people as running their CPU at 250MHz FSB with a 3:4 memory divisor (for the effective memory speed of DDR2-667MHz).
