OCZ Unveils Memory Kit For AMD Platform

OCZ Technology Group a well known system memory maker, has unveiled its latest memory kit which is aimed at PCs built on an AMD platform. The new PC2-5400 (667 MHz) Titanium modules are designed to reduce system penalties on the AM2 platform and improve performance in CAD model processing and memory intense graphics applications such as filters in Adobe Photoshop or video processing.

"The biggest difference between synthetic memory benchmarks and real world applications is that only a fraction of memory requests falls into open memory pages," commented Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology Development at OCZ Technology. "Even in page hit situations, larger size data transfers are hitting page boundaries, resulting page switching penalties and performance degradation. The new AM2 Special series uses twice the page size of standard memory, thereby greatly increasing the number of continuous page hits and delivering real world performance above and beyond any comparable memory solution at similar nominal rating."

The PC2-5400 AM2 Special modules will be initially available in 4GB (2x2048MB) dual channel kits and are optimized for 64-bit operating systems. Since this release is part of OCZ’s premium lineup, they come with a product lifetime warranty.
