[font=Verdana][size=10px]Coolingand memory solution expert OCZ Technologies announced the immediateavailability of the PC2-8000 Platinum Edition 4GB dual channel kit,targeted at those users whose motherboards only provide two DIMM slots. The dual channel kit allows the users to enjoyincreased computing performance at an extremely affordable price.

The 64-bit operating systems and the latest titles in the gaming worldare continually requiring more and more system memory. The new 2GBmodules from OCZ are the recommended upgrade for entry-levelenthusiasts that would like to experiment with the benefits ofoverclocking at affordable prices.

The included memory modules are part of OCZ's Platinum series, designedto meet both overclockers' and enthusiasts' needs, while delivering theperformance required by the graphic-intensive DirectX 10 applicationsin nowadays computing. The memory modules are clocked at a speed of1000 MHz at a slightly higher voltage than the normal memory modules(2.1 volts). When clocked at 1000 MHZ, the modules deliver impressiveCAS latency values of 5-5-5.

The memory modules come with a proprietary passive cooler. Theplatinum-mirrored XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreaders areextremely efficient and dissipate the residual heat that accumulateswhen working at high frequencies. The memory chips and the moduleheatsinks are separated by a thick layer of OCZ silver-based thermalcompound to boost heat conductivity from the memory core to theexterior, thus improving its performance.

"System memory density is a significant cost factor in the overallconfiguration of any personal computer," commented Dr. MichaelSchuette, VP of Technology Development at OCZ Technology. "However,retrofitting a system with an abundance of memory does not necessarilytranslate into having to spend an abundance of cash. By releasingquality products like the PC2-8000 2GB modules at a low price point,OCZ Technology once again demonstrates the commitment to providing thecustomers with the best possible solution in the market place."
