OCZ has launched 2GB PC2-6400 DDR2 SODIMM notebook-use memory modules, featuring 800MHz speed.
The OCZ PC2-6400 DDR2 SODIMM memory will be available in 2GB modules and 4GB (2x2GB) kits, both rated to run 5-5-5 timings. The manufacturer offers lifetime warranty for this memory, but there is no information on pricing and availability.
Although the latest notebooks built on the new Intel “Santa Rosa” mobile platform support 800MHz memory speed, PC vendors offer these laptops with 667MHz modules.
Last year, Kingston and Transcend also announced 800MHz SODIMMs. The only 800MHz notebook memory modules that we have found at online retailers are Kingston’s ValueRAM 1GB KVR800D2S5/1G and 512MB KVR800D2S5/512. PC Mall offers these products for $41.99 and $79.99 respectively.
