Conclusion
The OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 offers what it promises and much more. It can operate at speeds up to DDR550+Mhz (depending on the M/B and memory voltage) and lower memory timings than any other PC4200/4300/4400 memory kits currently sold. According to OCZ, the memory will work perfectly not only at P4 Northwood/Prescott motherboards but also to AMD A64, NForce m/b too, who wish to overclock (1:1) their CPU to the maximum.
We hope in the near future to test the latest OCZ "EL" series products and other high speed memory from other vendors so we can have a clearer view regarding such fast memory devices and what can be offered to both low/high end users. Overall, the OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 is a product we would highly recommended for all overclocker enthusiasts!
The street price of the OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 (for the 1GB Kit) is around €330 in Europe, and around $300 in the US. Not quite cheap, but you get exactly what you paid for: excellent quality memory with great overclocking potential.
