How good is OCZ Platinum Edition XTC


PC2 6400 2x1GHz?

I already bought it.

What do those 4-5-4-15 numbers mean?

Those numbers are commonly referred to as timings. In general lower numbers perform better than higher numbers (all other things being equal in a system).

Some OCZ platnium needs a bit of a voltage boost to run at the rated timings, but this can vary between models.

Load it up, play with it, that's the only way to know how well it performs for you.

I use those in my main rig and they've run 900mhz for me at 2.1v 24/7 for about a year now

These ones right? I think I paid close to $300 for mine

That's exactly the ones! $154.99 plus tax. I get a $25 mail in rebate if I motivate myself to sent it in on time.

I have this RAM myself.

With my old CPU, the e4300, I could OC my system from 1.80 to 2.97 GHz, run Orthos, and was rock stable after several hours.

Now, after I put in my e6420, I ran Orthos SMP in blended mode, and after 37 minutes and some odd seconds (twice), and it failed. I ran CPU only, and passed. I did the mem test only, and it failed after 30 some seconds.

It's good if you don't push your system. If not, go Corsair XMS2 or Mushkin.

Personally, I'm getting Mushkin RAM in a couple of weeks.

The times are not anything special.

There are sticks out there with 4.4.4.12 that do 800mhz...
