OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 Platinum Triple Channel Kit

As we draw closer to the end of 2009 we naturally reflect on the previous year, and speaking primarily of computer hardware - the products that have wowed us. We\'ve seen the awesome power of Intel\'s Core i7 processor and indeed the smaller Core i5 chips, and those who have gone down the socket 1366 route will have been forced to move to a new motherboard, and to higher frequency DDR3 memory. The Core i7 brings a new memory controller that demands DDR3 but not only this, it also allows for triple channel.

This you may think could cost you a small fortune, but DDR3 prices have been dropping as the months have passed and you can now pick up a kit for not too dissimilar price to how much a DDR2 kit would cost you.

We\'ve also seen Microsoft\'s new operating system Windows 7 replace the notorious Vista, and again if you move forward to this new suite its going to demand greater of your system, but the benefits from upgrading to Core i7 along with triple channel DDR3 are unparalleled. We can now stick inside our system massive capacities of memory and maximize the bandwidth by using triple channel. It\'s a win, win situation.

Today we have the pleasure of looking at our first DDR3 triple channel kit provided by the memory experts - OCZ Technology. Back in the DDR2 department OCZ provided us with the platinum, titanium and gold series that allowed huge overclocks whilst being rock solid. We will be taking a look at the OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 Platinum Low-Voltage Triple Channel kit and a little later putting it into the ultimate of test environments by analysing its performance in Windows 7 64-Bit.
