800FSB Performance Test Configuration
Performance of the OCZ DDR2 was first compared to tested DDR2 memory at DDR2 533 (PC2-4200) and DDR2 667 (PC2-5300), two standard values tested in the DDR2 roundup. Test conditions for this first phase of testing were kept as close as possible to those used in our DDR2 Roundup. Since our roundup tests were limited by the capabilities of the motherboard and CPU to DDR686, we made no attempt to test at the DDR686 setting, which was an artificial constraint that all tested memory had reached.| 800FSB 925XE Performance Test Configuration | |

Well, how does this compare with a nearly equally expensive fx-55 if you buy the best TCCD DDR RAM and play with the mulitplier for a massive overclock? I guess this really might help those who want a massive overclock on the less expensive P4's.Rapsven - Tuesday, December 21, 2004 - link
That's pretty impressive.What's the betting that Mushkin, Corsair, Kingston, and Crucial will come out with equally performing RAM within a week?
