ocz = no imo
geil is a division of ocz (i think??) so again no 😉

my friends stick (pc3200) didnt even do 170mhz....
he was pissed heh

hmmmm, the OCZ got an awesome review http://www.thetechzone.com/display.php?i=233&p=1

anyway, can u make any other recommendations (other than corsair because i dont have the $)

 

[human2k]

Hint: Avoid cheap ram such as Geil/OCZ at all cost. Pay the $$$ difference and get quality samsung/kingston/corsair/twinmos ram.



Cheers!:beer:

I don't know why you guys hate geil so much....my geil pc2700 is better than my corsair pc3200c2~~

 

[Corporate Thug]

lol, i thought GeIL and OCZ were high quality

 

[Corporate Thug]

ok, would you guys recommend

this

or pc3200 hyperx for the same price???

 

[screw3d]

I would choose Corsair over Kingston although you cant go wrong with the HyperX.
But since you said both have the same price, i'll say get the Corsair.

I'm using the exact chip at 190MHz, 5-2-2-2 stable.

some companies send a better product for review than what they sell to end users

btw, im using the twinmos 3200 with winbond chips, it cruises right along at 5,2,2,2 400. the stuff is dirt cheap and memoryx got my stuff right even when i placed an order and had to have em change it after it was packed

yup
thats why avoid them 🙂

anywyas,
twinmos pc3200 with 5ns ram chips is da bomb. 200mhz no probs

hyperX is also good
samsung also isnt bad

Corsair has worked real good for me. I would advise not taking any chances on RAM.

FYI, OCZ's new RAM is very nice. Either OCZ gave googlegear.com their magical sticks of RAM that are supposed to only go to reviewers, or it's a good product. I've maxed it out at 450mhz and pass memtest86 @ 2.8v. I have two sticks of 256mb PC3200 OCZ DDR. They run plenty faster than their rated speed.

I've got no experience with GeiL, but if you're considering saving some money and going with OCZ, you should be pleased.

I'm not a reviewer and my TWO sticks of OCZ (just showing it's not some weird anomaly that one stick rocks but the majority of it is crap) work even better than advertised. The lifetime warranty isn't too shabby either.

Don't let em scare you away from OCZ.. their DDR is a good buy, and the majority of people who think otherwise simply haven't even used it, I'd be willing to guess.
