"It is with great pleasure that we award the Gold Editors Choice to OCZ for the outstanding performance of OCZ PC3200 Platinum Rev. 2 memory. This OCZ memory stands head and shoulders above the other memory tested in this roundup that are based on the same memory chips. OCZ PC3200 Platinum Revision 2 overclocked 10% higher than it's nearest rival, reaching an amazing 40% overclock on a memory rated at DDR400. Performance at DDR400 was outstanding and Platinum Rev. 2 reached the highest memory speeds achieved with any DDR400 2-2-2 memory tested in this roundup."

"Overall, I am extremely impressed with this memory. This is easily the best memory that I have ever personally tested. PC3200 memory that can achieve 275MHz 1:1 is outstanding. Obviously, I can't guarantee you the same results, but 250MHz is almost guaranteed thanks to the Samsung chips used. This OCZ PC3200EL Platinum Edition Rev 2 spanks every other PC3200 memory that has come across my desk. There is only one word to describe it, "Wow."
Overall Rating: 10 out of 10

"OCZ has truly released a miraculous product in the market. Reaching DDR540 seemed impossible at one time, but thanks to Samsung and OCZ it is now possible to take your system to the next level in terms of performance and value."

"Pitting the Corsair 3200XL against the PC3200 Platinum rev. 2 was like putting a white belt against Jackie Chan. It was simply no contest, the OCZ ran faster at all tested speeds, managed tighter timings with the same amount of voltage, and when it came to overclocking, sent the Corsair home crying to its mother. OCZ could easily sell this ram as PC4200, that just happens to be able to also run 433mhz at 2-5-2-2, with less voltage than its stock rating. I?ve tested a lot of OCZ ram here at OcPrices, and the PC3200 Platinum takes the cake as the best one yet. Very highly recommended."

"The OCZ PC3200 Revision 2 memory delivered slightly faster speeds than the Corsair XMS 3200XL at DDR400 (2-2-2-5) and costs significantly less (around $280 vs. $315). This difference in cost may be the single most determining factor for someone that is shopping for DDR400. Keep in mind that with slightly looser timings operation up to DDR500 should be easily possible making this memory the perfect compliment to any system from an AMD64 based rig to an overclocked Intel P4 based rig. We award the OCZ PC3200 Revision 2 Memory the 3DXtreme Editor?s Choice Award based on the performance and price of this product."

"Now maybe it's just me, but I feel like all I have been doing lately is giving out awards to OCZ, but really there's just not much that I can do about it. At this current point in time OCZ just quite simply makes the best RAM on the market...hands down."

PC Unleash
"From DDR400 to DDR530, OCZ?s EL rev2 pc3200 displayed consistent speeds, which is astounding for memory that claims to be a humble DDR400. In other words, the ram is truly a Jack of all trades. With a superior overclocking rate, OCZ?s EL PC-3200 has truly impressed me. It is not often that you?ll see a ram that can run at Cas2, 3-3-5, moreover at high frequencies such as PC4400...In summary, look no further, OCZ?s 3200EL series Rev2 is the answer to your prayers."

"Well, as you can see OCZ PC3200 Platinum Rev 2 came out on top in every test. This was not a surprise to me. The moment I popped the sticks in my system, it felt more responsive. I found that game play was smoother and benching (my fav. Hobby) was more rewarding, due to beating all previous personal bests by significant margins. Does the performance increase merit the additional cost? It certainly does, if you are a gamer, bencher or overclocker. Only someone who regularly uses their system to its full potential will really enjoy and appreciate the added responsiveness and bandwidth the PC3200 Platinum Rev 2 adds to your rig. My final words for you prospective purchasers are; if you are a gamer you will enjoy shorter loading times and smoother game play. Benchers will easily surpass their previous personal bests. You overclockers will love this ram most of all. Once you loosen the memory timings slightly this ram will perform at DDR450 and beyond in NF2, and easily better than DDR500 on other platforms."

"Revision 2 of the OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Platinum Memory has gargantuan bang for the buck. Its fast default timing of 2-2-2-5 at 400MHz DDR is great; however, relaxing the timing will result in ridiculously high speeds. Anyone, especially overclockers on a budget, will adore this memory. Wicked fast + Affordable + Lifetime Warranty = Incredible! Watch the Video to find out more..."

CDR Info
"The OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 offers what it promises and much more. It can operate at speeds up to DDR550+Mhz (depending on the M/B and memory voltage) and lower memory timings than any other PC4200/4300/4400 memory kits currently sold. According to OCZ, the memory will work perfectly not only at P4 Northwood/Prescott motherboards but also to AMD A64, NForce m/b too, who wish to overclock (1:1) their CPU to the maximum...The OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Rev2 memory kit, gets our Editors Choice Award for excellent performance either at 400 or 550Mhz!"

?You can't forget your RAM when it comes to building a best-of-class gaming PC and OCZ's Platinum EL DDR PC3200 tops our list of drool-worth memory. It's snazzy-looking chrome heat spreaders, great stability and overclockability place it a notch above the competition.?

InsaneTek
"OCZ has a great product here. Its appearance and performance are phenomenal. It has scalability from lower speeds with fantastic tight timings to very high speeds, DDR550 in this case, with decent timings. This memory is perfect for Athlon64 owners who want to squeeze every bit of performance from their systems."

Pro-Clockers
"OCZ did a great thing when they announced that they were going to continue using Samsung TCCD chips in their rev 2. 3200 Platinum modules. Being able to hit 300+ MHz is something that all overclockers are looking for. For those that into overclocking, OCZ has other ram for you, as you would not benefit from this ram. Anyone in extreme overclocking this is the ram for you. You can't miss with this one."
