Sorry but $400 for a gig of ram? No thanks. My PC3200 is plenty quick for me.

No, he doesn't mean that. He means the VX series. VX stands for voltage extreme. They use a different type of chips which overclock extremely well with enough voltage.
I don't think platinum VX would make any difference. The gold already has good chips and PCB. All I think they could improve in the plat edition would be the PCB. I think it's just a naming technicality, and gold is just what they decided to name it. I could be all wrong though. *Waits patiently for Steve*.

Gold is just the heat spreaders. We are looking at releasing a line of perfomance level sticks with these same IC's with no speed binning so they will be cheap......and yes I do mean cheap 
Hang tight and I'll let you know what comes of it

What a great question man!
Honestly, did you think about it, or did you just post without thinking?
The RAM is called "Voltage Xtreme", so what volts do you think, it'll need for good speeds?
*ironical mode on* I think the new stuff will definately run at under 1.5V at 250 MHz with 1.5-2-2-7 timings!
*ironical mode off*
No offence taken, but I just couldn't resist, as the question was too cool.
Now let's get back to being earnest:
This RAM will be the exact same stuff, just without speed testing/binning. That means that it'll need the exact same high voltages and that it'll perform the same or worse. That just depends on how lucky you get.

oooooo, the sarcasm flows freely
All right Steve, is Sunday close enough? It's basically Monday if you round up a day by taking into consideration that all time is relative and therefore I make Sunday actually Monday until you tell us more

Almost Wednesday now. So I'm thinking that OCZ should make us the dedicated "cheap" vx testers now that we've had to wait past the information release date. What do you guys think

Hmm Christmas break, and my booster is expected to arrive tomorrow from an RMA. I would say I'm ready for testing.
