I thought it an excelent writeup. Tehre is so much hype over memory takign advantage of those who do not know better. ICoun't help but notice you did not mention crucial. working for a fiarly large cimoany, i've had the oprotunity to use several diffrent brans of memory, and settled on kingston and crucial for ther consistant quality.

We meet OCZ at a trade show in Chicago. Initially, to get started OCZ gave us very steep discounts, but we came to similar conclusions about their organization as you did. I thought this was a very well done article.

I'm considering a puget system right now. I've looked at a few different companies, and have been most impressed with what I've found. very informative article.

Why we do not list faster memory is a mix of what we've found in testing, and the standards we hold -- check out http://www.pugetsystems.com/blog/2008/10/12/overclocked-memory-is-a-scam/ for my full thoughts.

We've used a few of their modules because they were first to market with working 4GB modules. I can tell you that those modules worked great, but I don't know anything about their company, and haven't worked with their memory in volume. Not in volume.
