OCZ has hit enormous clock speed with its Titanium PC3-1600 but the results of our testing show quite clearly that memory is not the performance bottleneck for Core 2 Duo. It's our guess that the problem is having the memory controller housed in the Northbridge of the chipset instead of in the CPU where it belongs. Once the true memory speed is faster than the true FSB you only get a tiny benefit so while we were impressed by the Titanium you'd get very similar results with DDR2 at one third of the price.Read full review
