OCZ Technology Announces PC2-5400 EL Platinum Edition XTC

Sunnyvale, CA—April 5, 2006—OCZ Technology Group, a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high reliability memory, today launched the PC2-5400 Platinum XTC Series with enhanced latency. By integrating 3-3-3 timings, these next generation DDR2-667 solutions are the fastest available in the PC2-5400 speed-grade.

The demand for high performance DDR2 continues to mount due to the interdependence of several existing Intel platforms and the impending arrival of the new AMD and Intel CPU architectures. With ultra-fast timings of 3-3-3, the OCZ PC2-5400 Platinum XTC series provides the unprecedented memory performance that is preferred by so many DDR1 enthusiasts.

“Memory access latencies are the pivotal factor for system performance,” commented Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology Development at OCZ Technology. “It is much easier to document raw clock speed and its theoretical bandwidth than the performance increase achieved by low access latencies; however, the latter is what really matters for the ultimate gaming and multimedia performance. The new PC2-5400 EL DDR2 Platinum Edition XTC fills this void by offering faster access times than even the lowest latency DDR400 modules in the market.”

Each PC2-5400 Platinum XTC Edition 512MB module and 1GB dual channel kit is 100% hand-tested for quality assurance and compatibility and feature high quality, platinum-mirrored XTC heatspreaders for the most effective heat dissipation. Furthermore, each OCZ Platinum series module is backed by the industry leading OCZ Lifetime Warranty and technical support for unparalleled peace of mind.

As a result of unceasing innovation and the addition of the ground-breaking PC2-5400 XTC into the OCZ Platinum DDR2 family, OCZ continues to offer the most extensive collection of sophisticated DDR2 solutions on the market.
