“To have eight gigabytes of memory available in the system may sound like overkill for the average user; however, in any mega-tasking environment the requirements for system memory can skyrocket and easily break the 4GB boundary, thus far considered as the penultimate amount of system memory,” commented Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology Development at OCZ Technology. “The new OCZ2P8008GQ kit is the first to bring eight gigabytes of memory also to Intel architecture-based systems to explore workloads which previously were a challenge within the personal computing space.”
The kits are clocked at 800MHz and feature 5-4-4-18 timings.
