OCZ has some very nice packaging, which makes it very easy to find these modules if your local computer store carries them.

     Take one nice look at how nice these sticks of memory look. They also carry on a good amount of weight from what appears to be silver or platinum plated copper heatspreaders. I pulled out some Corsair and Mushkin sticks and they had maybe half the weight of these. Who ever is in charge of OCZ has got to be an overclocker to know that copper dissipates heat the best. OCZ also gives you a handy little installation manual that contains the specifications of voltage and timings that you need to adjust in your BIOS. Keep in mind that the SPD of your chosen motherboard will detect the PC3200 speed of 400mhz, but it may not detect the low timings that this ram runs at, so make sure to adjust to the proper perimeters to take advantage of the timings that this memory can run. LONG LIVE THE CASE BADGE!! Seriously, This is a very nice gesture from OCZ to your case. The aggressive logo that OCZ has gives your PC a nice look. AWESOME! :P

A quick look at the sticker reveals the timings this memory runs at. doing this at 2.7 vddr is quite an achievement for mainstream memory!

     Just a friendly reminder that OCZ is using BH-6 modules for PC-3200! Why is this? Well believe or not, Winbond states the the BH series are indeed PC-3500 standard modules.. Nothing more, nothing less. BH-5's are long gone and are so hard to find at this point that if you do manage to find some they are binned modules and are more than likely not as good as early production modules. BH-6's are welcome as you'll see un our benchmarks.
