It wasnât too many years ago that 2GB was big for a hard drive. Now HDDs are hitting 100GB per platter, and (yes this nostalgia fest is going somewhere) enthusiast DDR is hitting 2GB in dual channel kits. Today weâve got OCZ's PC3200 2GB performance series kit up for testing. The PC4200 Performance that I tested awhile back had some fantastic performance and overclockability. Does the PC3200 2GB follow suit?
The Performance series slots in between the flagship EL lines, and entry level Premier series, and feature the same copper heat spreaders as the standard EL line. They are available in single and dual channel packaged kits, and the speeds range from PC3200 to PC4400.
Since the PC3200 does not use OCZâs âHyperspeedâ ultra high frequency chips, itâs suitable for both P4 and Althon64 systems. Rated speed is 3-8-3-3 @ 2.6V. Aesthetically, the PC3200 2GB kit is the same as the rest of the Performance series, with the standard copper heatspreaders and traditional OCZ build quality.
