Part #: OCZ4001024V3DC-K (Value Series)
Timings are: 3-4-4-8

$135- $35 Rebate= $100


Anyone know how good OCZ stuff is?...........




EDIT: N. Calfornia Fry's
 
High end OCZ memory is good. I hear good things about oc'ing OCZ high end memory. However it seems by the timings that the value select is average.
 
I had 2 sticks of their EL Platinum PC3200. Great RAM.

For $100 a gig how much can you ask tho? Even at CL3 this is a good deal. KVR is $150 for a gig.
 
I got it at the Frys in Atlanta. Stuff seems pretty stable. I put it in the ol lady's comp, so I really havent done much with it either. All I can say is that her system is solid as a rock.
 
Anyone know if these will work on a Dell 4600?

Want to upgrade the ram it but I hear the Dell's are pretty particular.


Thanks
 
i dont have a 4600 but my 4400/4500/400sc pretty much take in whatever DDR RAM i throw at them

4400 is running 2100 kingston, 2x512
4500 is running 2700 mushkin, 2x512
400sc is running 3200 crucial, 2x512 Dualchannel
 
FYI i picked these up yesterday and the timings on the side say "3-4-4-8"... popped them into my GA-K8NS Pro mobo and they worked without a hitch, ran CPU-Z and it reported them running at "3-4-4-7". haven't tried messin with the timings yet, but so far so good...

everyone is so violent these days. take my example and run PATRIOT ram with LIBERTY chips 😀

YEa, I tried going that route and the Patriot 1g dual channel kit I had would not run at its rated cas2 and even at cas2.5 it crashed and corrupted my system. I got pretty violent.

are you some kind of a dell junkie ?
 
I remember something like the OCZ name a few years ago and couldn't remember it this is the same company selling RAM at higher speeds with overclocked chips underneath heat spreaders without telling consumers. I grabbed one anyway and was disappointed upon visual inspection.

Uses chips made by USI with OCZ labeled timings at 3-4-4-8. OCZ website rates voltage at 2.6v. Chips were taller than the PCB and actually overhung. I'm sure it's cost cutting and will also help fitting the RAM in tighter areas. RAM came packaged with a cheap paper label with the words, "Ultra High Performance." Looked like it came from an old color lazer printer and the instructions sheet looked like it was printed on super recycled toilet paper, but who cares. . . right? It's $100. Let's see how this puppy performs.

Threw it into two different systems and compared against a PDP (Patriot), I picked up a few weeks ago for $19 more. The results:






Dell Dimension 8300 (Intel 875)

DELL OEM RAM (uses Mosel chips)
Memtest - 2372
Sandra 04 - 4378/4387

PDP RAM (uses Samsung chips)
Memtest - 2424
Sandra 04 - 4562/4567

OCZ RAM (uses USI chips)
Memtest - 2274
Sandra 04 - 4509/4499






ABIT AN7 (Nvidia nForce2)

OEM RAM 2.5v timings 2.5-3-2
Memtest - 1479
Sandra 04 - 3030/2842

PDP RAM 2.5v timings 3-3-3
Memtest - 1449
Sandra 04 - 3035/2838

OCZ RAM 2.65v timings 2-2-3
Memtest - 1460
Sandra 04 - 3089/2919





The SPD timings are slow, but if you can adjust the timings these sticks do well. They ran at 3-3-3 @ 2.5v and bumping the voltage to 2.65v got me 2-2-3. Additional voltage all the way to 2.95v didn't help and I didn't overclock via FSB, I don't intend to. I'm not too sure how long this RAM will last. It's pretty budget, but they are better than the unknown RAM on ebay or pricewatch. My system is on 80 hrs a week and with a lifetime warranty and a super budget price of $100 these are great deal for the majority of people and even better for systems where you can adjust timings and voltage.
 
If you guys hurry, Outpost has this ram for $64.99 after the $35 rebate. I am sure it won't last long.....🙂
