It has been a while since I got my hands on a 2GB kit of memory so when I was offered the new OCZ Platinum XTC dual channel kit I didn't hesitate in saying yes. The technical support offered by OCZ is second to none and their lifetime warranty with the incredible support behind them makes OCZ one of the best in the performance memory market. OCZ is also an industry front runner and are usually at the forefront to introduce new memory packages with ICs that no one else does. A true industry leader in every sense of the word.



If you caught our earlier news report then you will know that the ICs on this set of memory are Micron 5B F-die. Now I have to admit that OCZ certainly was not the first company to introduce these ICs in 2GB packages, but they definitely are one of the first in getting them to retail outlets as they started popping up a couple weeks ago from the time of releasing this review.



The much talked about Micron ICs, mated to a BrainPower PCB should lead to quite the lethal combination. Include the XTC heatspreaders and what we have is a highly anticipated package that not only performs extremely well at the stock rated speeds of DDR500 3-3-3-8 but also should provide some headroom for overclocking by staying nice and cool.
