As the i7 platform has matured, we've seen memory kits branch off into different target areas with kits hitting upwards of 2000MHz with CAS 7 timings - Those kits come with an enormous price premium and are only really of use for the hardcore enthusiast.  If we step down the metaphorical memory ladder (ahem!) a couple of rungs, we end up face to face with today's subject, the OCZ Platinum OCZ3P1600LV6GK 1600MHz 7-7-7 Triple Channel Kit.

About OCZ:
"Entering the memory market in August 2000, OCZ Technology was built around the determination to manufacture the best high speed DDR and RDRAM. OCZ was founded by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, and our commitment to the end-user has not digressed. OCZ Technology has been an innovator in many areas. We were the first manufacturer to make Dual Channel optimized memory available to the public, which originally took advantage of nVidia's Twinbank or Dual DDR architecture, found in their nForce chip-set. We have now taken that technology and tailored it for the Canterwood, and Granite Bay chip-sets. OCZ developed and was the first to implement ULN technology, which has been a critical element in our manufacturing process for some time. We at OCZ diligently work to improve communication with CPU and motherboard chip-set manufacturers prior to the release of their products. Only in this manner can we fine-tune our memory's SPD settings, ensuring a synergistic relationship between the memory module, memory controller, and microprocessor. In today?s rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, such communication is not simply research, but a necessary component of our manufacturing process.
