Never a fan

You aren't a fan either huh? What about their SSDs? Thems I like. Everything else. Yuch. Just before they pulled out of the memory market we had something like a 20%+ failure rate with many SKUs of their RAM 🙁 Funny they are one of the few large US players in the hardware market.

I own 3 or 4 OCZ power supplies, and I can honestly say I'm pleased with them. Never had a failure (knock on wood) and that includes the one running in my server 24/7 since August of 2007.

Statistically you should be fine with them. But they certainly do seem to have a higher failure rate than other brands (I like Corsair, Seasonic, Coolermaster, Antec, in roughly that order).

I've only used intel and corsair SSDs. No experience with ocz

For long term reliability stick with Intel. They have by far the most comprehensive testing scheme in place. For speed/price ratio though I like OCZ. Reliability hasn't been really proven yet but I haven't heard any bad things about them unlike you usually do with OCZ.
 
Old news now. But damn AMD REALL just gave up on the mainstream retail CPU market with Bulldozer. FAIL chip is fail 🙁 It's Okay for low/medium end systems but you have to ask in most of these cases why not just go with an AMD X4/x6 or Intel i3/i5.

Too bad. Even if you're an Intel fan like you and me (though I happily ran an AMD chip back when they were #1 performance), competition is always a good thing for price and innovation. Intel will get its competition from ARM manufacturers on the retail side at the low end now. AMD might still compete on the server side of things.
 
I don't have any OCZ in my stuff. Not any bias, other than there was other stuff available on the last microcenter run or two.

Nice another member to add to the fan club 😉

Have not much of a choice. My broker forbids the company. Something about a feud that goes back over ten years ago when the company (OCZ) was run out of a home and one of the people there called his wife the c-word. 😱

ARM is going to replace AMD. Intel is shitting bricks atm foreseeing it. There is no way can't see it coming.

At least Intel has a leg to stand on. :biggrin:
 
I hope Apple doesn't switch to ARM before ARM really starts replacing mainstream desktop computers. Hackintoshing would not be so easy 🙁

I agree with you ARM is on the move and could easily replace AMD. Only problem is the HUGE install bade of x86 code out there and the need to recompile everything for ARM. It's already happening for smart phones and tablets but it WILL be an impediment for them taking over the PC space for some time.
