Even if the others memory modules manufacturers have already turned to the 1066MHz, only some of them can say they produce 1GB modules at a high rate. But OCZ Technology Group, one of the leaders in module manufacturing, has launched on the retail market some of the fastest modules that can operate at 1100MHz memory clock-speed being aimed at the gaming market and computer aficionado, informs X-bit Labs.

More precisely, OCZ's PC2-8800 Gold Edition modules are said to be able to run at 1100MHz with CL5 6-6-15 latency settings and will be available in dual-channel 2GB (2x1024) kits.

"DDR2 speed grades evolve faster than anybody would have thought to be possible and we are proud that OCZ has played a major role in this push for new performance superlatives. The result of our constant effort to fine-tune components and maximize their performance, once again pays off in our release of the world's first 1100 MHz DDR2 system memory modules," said Dr. Michael Schuette, vice president of technology development at OCZ Technology Group.

OCZ has already presented its memory modules at this year's edition of the CeBIT Fair but it necessitated several months to mass produce it. X-bit Labs reported that the company had to increase the voltage from expected 2.1V to 2.2V, up from DDR2's default 1.8V voltage setting, and that OCZ's VP said that the maximum speed bin of the DD2 wouldn't exceed 1200MHz.
