When one thinks of DDR2, the first thing that springs to mind is high bandwidth but poor latencies. Those more experienced with DDR2 know that of many ICs in particular, Micron’s Fatbody D9 are capable of much tighter latencies than even the tightest DDR. Today we’ll be having a look at OCZ’s new Platinum edition PC2-4200.
