Tech Link (Memory): Reviews around the web

I figure I'll just post a couple of good read I found on the net rather than making each separate entry. Legion Hardware has an article about an OCZ PC2-6400 Platinum XTC, while Madshrimps has a PC2 6400 dual between Super Talent and Crucial.

The heat spreader debate has been a hot topic over the years and OCZ recently added a little more fuel to the fire with their XTC memory series. Basically the only difference between the normal OCZ memory and XTC memory are the heat spreaders. XTC is short for “Xtreme Thermal Convection” and OCZ claims that these heat spreaders provide better cooling performance than their standard versions. The standard design is of course also used by a number of other memory manufacturers and one of them happens to be the mighty Corsair.

Today we bring two PC2-6400 heavyweights into the Sumo dohyo, Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 and Super Talent T800UX2GC4. If you´re unfamiliar with DDR2 overclocking, DDR2 confutes the axiom smaller modules scale much higher then their larger brethren. Just how well are current BGA IC´s scaling these days?
