OCZ uses top quality PCB's and memory chips of the highest quality. There are far less variables in RAM design than in motherboard design. A motherboard has to power a CPU, RAM, video card, etcetera.

Thanks

Sorry Andy, but even OCZ's website states they were around in 2000, founded a few months over 7 years ago. And honestly, back then, they were pure junk. Passing off one speed IC as another, among other very shady business practices.....I'm honestly surprised they didn't fold for what they were then.

About OCZ:
Entering the memory market in August 2000, OCZ Technology was built around the determination to manufacture the best high speed DDR and RDRAM.

So the past determines everything they do now AND the future? Seriously...why do you even bring this up?

Sorry to butt in, but I think your statement is extremely rude.

The man comes here to the forum, offers his help, and you stick something like that in his face.

This is not the first time, gingerstewart.

Good luck in your life!

I was thinking this. It could be true that OCZ has been around, but they may have restructured and as such the company we know today is quite young. The guy's not lieing outright to you.

i think he brings it up because of this:

"There was another company that was not OCZ Technology"

and when he stated such, i gave the benefit of the doubt that it was a much restructured company..maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but by andy's own statement, that implies it was not called OCZ Technology. which it was.

ok, it might be splitting hairs..i'll give the OCZ the benefit of the doubt. it doesn't matter cause i won't buy another stick of their memory again anyway, i guess:)

No matter what the history is, these people are willing and ready to help.

Let's give them the benefit of a doubt, and allow to rectify the issues.

Remember - nobody is perfect!

Sure, lets finish him off. I know you like to do that, Mr Fox.

We'll see how this is going to help people with issues.

You can e-mail AndyT, or just call an anonymous CSR.

Good luck!

Well, instead of complaining about it, why don't you take the action.

Now you have the e-mail address of somebody willing to help.

Gather your evidence and send an e-mail to AndyT.

In my personal experience, when I knew I was right, I would keep sending letters/e-mails to the Customer Service.

It has always worked. Persistence pays.

If you DO know that you are right, keep trying.

I know that it WILL work.

why..if it hadn't been 6 years ago..and if the former ocz technology i guess it is hadn't ignored any attempts i made to contact them about the status of my memory, and if the receipts weren't long gone, i might just do that..thanks for the suggestion:) anyway, i don't use their memory anymore for good reason and my personal experience with it. not a complaint..it's fact and i have the right as anyone else does to share their experience. i have, i'm done on this thread..have fun!

I got a major department store to fix my wife's botched glasses, way after the warranty has expired. Only because we didn't realize that they were so substandard to begin with, and I had a terrible experience the following year. That allowed me to determine that my wife's glasses had been real bad.

But anyway, 6 years is a long time - I don't think that you would want THAT memory to be replaced anyway.

Good luck!

How do you know? Tell me? Are you God? No? Then you can't read minds. Go away.

Of all the companies out there OCZ is one of the very few who come here on their own time to offer assistance to anyone. If that's bad then I wonder what would be a good thing to you. Don't buy their memory fine, I don't myself. However, I wouldn't hesitate to do so if they were competitive on price for the speed I needed. What does that mean? It simply means if they were the same price or cheaper than another brand for the same speed and timings I would use them as an option.
