Conclusions
Like most truly unique items, the DDR Booster certainly isn't for everyone. From a physical compatibility standpoint, one has to be careful to pair the DDR Booster with the proper motherboard, and the testing reveals that different types of RAM have very different responses to the Booster. Setting those items aside for a moment, there is even the very real possibility of causing permanent damage to your memory or other components if you're not careful with the DDR Booster, a fact that is plainly stated in the installation guide.

Fortunately, the type of user who would be most at risk of damaging his system in this manner is protected by the fact that he probably wouldn't have the slightest interest in the DDR Booster. This is a tweaker's toy, and in almost all cases, the person who buys it is going to be very much aware of its potential for both good and evil.

And in spite of all its fit limitations, compatibility requirements and quirks, the bottom line is that the DDR Booster does have its place. For the hard-core tweaker who spends entire evenings wringing every last bit of performance out of his system, the DDR Booster represents an exciting new avenue of exploration. So long as you keep the caveats in mind, OCZ's DDR Booster has the potential to be a great bang-for-the-buck purchase for the true overclocking freak.
