OCZ today announced a unique memory kit for AMD enthusiasts and power users. The new PC2-5400 Titanium modules were designed exclusively for the AMD AM2 platform. These memory modules, named Titaniums, are first on the market to utilise the power and complexity of integrated memory controller inside K8 and K10 processors.  In case you did not know, the memory controller inside AMD's CPUs supports addressing of 11-bit columns while using 16K page size. In comparison, standard memory controllers on the market support 10-bit columns with 8K page size. In addition, AM2's controller can support as many as 2048 individual entries if a page size is 16Kbits, allowing the controller to stay longer on the same page.  This benefits apps like 3D Studio/Maya/modo for large 3D models and of course - "memory intense graphics applications" - as OCZ likes to call Adobe Photoshop for still pictures, Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas for video processing.

Given the audience that this memory is addressing, I'm not surprised that the modules are 2GB in size, for filling four DIMM slots with 8GB of memory in total. Memory clock is set at PC2-5400, or DDR2-667. I would recommend using 64-bit operating system with these modules, since AM2 memory controller after all - is optimised for 64-bit operating systems. Considering the memory firm also introduced a 4GB DDR2-800 memory kit with 5-5-5-18 timings back in February, this new DDR2-667 kit may not get the performance edge even with those optimizations. OCZ hasn't announced pricing for the new kit, though, so it could nonetheless be a more affordable alternative.
