OCZ DDR2 PC2-4200 Gold GX XTC Dual Channel
7. Conclusion
The new Gold GX XTC modules are very well designed and will certainly improve the look, albeit internally of your case. The overall performance of the DDR2 PC2-4200 Gold GX XTC Dual Channel modules was good at all speeds. Note that the certified speed is at 533 Mhz but we managed to overclock them, right up to 728 MHz!!!
In SiSoft Sandra 2005, the DDR2 PC2-4200 Gold GX XTC Dual Channel modules achieved a score of 6491MB/s and 6510MB/s in the RAM Bandwidth ,Integer and Floating Point benchmarks respectively, while in the Combined Index, the reported 11976MB/s was also good. In PCMar05, the 5341 PCMarks is an excellent score, even better than Kingmax's DDR2 667 MHz modules. In games, the increased memory speed in combination with the overclocked CPU will increase the frame rate, as happened in our HL2 test where we saw a jump of approximately 40fps when going from 533MHz to 701MHz.
On the e-market, the price for the OCZ25331024ELGEGXT-K modules is close to US$120. A reasonable price and excellent performance make this product a great offer.
