Packaging

OCZ is not going for a fancy packaging on the Platinum series. The DIMMs - in this case two separate ones of the exact same kind - still ship in the classic, clear plastic mold. Having two of these as a separate package, gives us the chance to take a look at the changes OCZ has recently made to its package appearance. Some of the colors have changed, but the general layout and all the rest has remained untouched.
