avoid, avoid, avoid.

Let me give you my sad :-( story.

I make an online order with OC system, and was charged for my order. (TRUE DDR3200 @ Cas 2 2 2 5 256mb X 2 Dual Channel kit) Two days later when I still have not received a confirmation email I called, and after many tries finnally get an actual human. I am told that my order is in shipping, and that it would BE SHIPPED the very next day. Three days (I am patient) later still nothing. I call back, and I spend 3 days trying to get a person, and working my way through their electronic phone system, and am finnally told that the items are now out of stock, when asked why I was told my order was already in shipping, I was told "Dunno". Anyways I am still convinced its a good bargain, so when told that it would be back in stock in one week, I wait. Every week I called I was told next week, and to make a long story short, I finnally received the ram 4 weeks after the original order date. they have nice and pretty purple sinks, drop them in set Ram to SPD, and it turns out that it is not True 3200 but overclocked 2100, yes 2100. It needs 3.1 volts to run Cas 2.5 at 200mhz, and then only at 3 3 8. Returned, refunded, and wiser. I went to the egg and got OZC DDR 3200 2 x 256mb Cas 2 for 20 buck more with free ground shipping (which got here in 2 days .

It really does look like a good bargain, maybe to good of a bargain.
