“In the past year, we have seen lots of memory rated at DDR500, so you may wonder why we are reviewing a new DDR500 memory today when there are now a few rare modules rated as high as DDR600. The answer is pretty simple, since OCZ PC4000 VX Gold is the only memory that we have ever seen rated at DDR500 2-2-2. While it is rated at DDR500 at these extraordinary 2-2-2 timings, it also carries a very high rated voltage of 3.3V – far beyond what most motherboards can supply.”
I never expected to ever see DDR500 to have such low timings! AnandTech has done tests to see if it lives up to it’s 2-2-2 timings. Check it out here.
