[Mito]

OCZ PC2-8500 1066MHz NVIDIA SLI-Ready XTC Edition 2GB (2x1024MB)
5-5-5-15 / 2.3 volts


OCZ PC2-8500 1066MHz Platinum XTC NVIDIA SLI-Ready Edition 2GB (2x1024MB)
5-5-5-15 / 2.3 volts


question: what is the difference between the above models?


also, there is the Reaper version: what's the point? It dissipates heat more easily? That's it?

they might look different but all hold same timings, if your gonna get ram getr some good 6400.

[Mito]

may I ask why a pc6400? the prices are almost the same.

I intend to OC the config in my sig.

[JamesXP]

If the prices are the same go for it

afaik they are they same chips, etc, just diff spreaders

both "sli ready" and "platinum" have the XTC heatspreaders. What differs is that one is black and the other is silver........

This is frustrating. OCZ's site isn't crystal clear about the main differences between their models. They just spit info without comparing.

No need to doublepost, aren't the silver ones lke anniversary ones?

[Mito]

then there's the pc8800 @ 5-6-6-15 @ 1100MHz.

Does it mean it can OC more easily and reach higher speeds?
What about the higher latency 5-6-6?

[Mito]

there's also this Patriot PC2-8500 (1066MHz) is 5-5-5-9 2.3V

TRAS = 9

will that make much of a difference?
