OCZ Quad 2Gb Memory Kit Review - 8Gb of Platinum Goodness

jmke · 30th April 2008, 14:30

With the introduction of Vista, 2 GB of memory suddenly seems insufficient. Many people have made the jump to 4 GB lately, but on a 32Bit operating system, more is definitely overkill. Today we happen to have a 64 bit operating system installed on our test system, so there's no stopping us from fully loading our P35 motherboard with... 8 GB of memory. And we even managed to overclock it!

Well, I was wandering that since on AMD processors the memory controller is included in them, what would the results be? If there is a main difference from an Intel CPU, there it should be! If you are able to run the tests on a Phenom???

I don't have a phenom system at my disposal, so for the near future I won't be able to check myself. Take a look at the OCZ support forums, you might find an answer there.
