The memory review we have in front of us today should be very interesting, this ram has already been reviewed by several sites and had very high overclocking results. The name of the kit today is OCZ DDR PC4800 Platinum, which you might have read about already but today rbmods will take their shot with this nice looking ram so stay tuned as we compare it to some other very fast sticks or ram. About Ocz:
Entering the memory market in August 2000, OCZ Technology was built around the determination to manufacture the best high speed DDR and RDRAM. OCZ was founded by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, and our commitment to the end-user has not digressed. OCZ Technology has been an innovator in many areas. We were the first manufacturer to make Dual Channel optimized memory available to the public, which originally took advantage of nVidia's Twinbank or Dual DDR architecture, found in their nForce chipset. We have now taken that technology and tailored it for the Canterwood, and Granite Bay chipset's. OCZ developed and was the first to implement ULN technology, which has been a critical element in our manufacturing process for some time. We at OCZ diligently work to improve communication with CPU and motherboard chipset manufacturers prior to the release of their products. Only in this manner can we fine-tune our memory's SPD settings, ensuring a synergistic relationship between the memory module, memory controller, and microprocessor. In today�s rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, such communication is not simply research, but a necessary component of our manufacturing process.

THe familiar package from OCZ shows the ram sticks but still protects them well. On the back you will find awards as usual that OCZ ram has won. Someday you might see an Rbmods logo there; who knows?! :)

I love this Platinum finish on the heatsinks it gives the ram a very luxurious and exclusive look. On each stick you have a small sticker that tells what ram it is and also tells you not to remove the sticker because you will ruin your lifetime warranty that you have on these sticks.

The OCZ sticks have something called"EVP� (Extended Voltage Protection) is a feature that allows performance enthusiasts to use a VDIMM of 3.0V � 5% without invalidating their OCZ Lifetime Warranty." Which protects the ram as you can see on the quoted text from OCZ homepage. Here on the pictures you can clearly see the very nice looking finish on these sticks.
