here's a question: I know you guys are biased, and that report says a lot about OCZ, but, how does their memory perform? I've seen several good reviews on it. (you will probably contest that those reviews were written by monkeys, but I gotta ask...)

I too have heard some good things about OCZ memory, BUT, that doesn't excuse deceptive biz. practices. Check out the latest new's on the whole mess.

ECU - They handpick memory chips for reviews, then **** people over when they buy them. If you read through that thread (the many pages of it), you'll read about the guy who bought PC150 memory that wouldn't boot at PC133...

in all the reviews they are great, cause they give the sticks to the reviewer, and select good sticks, every single real person I've seen with them has had it suck really really badly

I don't know if you guys have seen this yet, but OCZ released a press release yesterday about this whole thing. You might want to read that, at least this way, you would have heard both sides, although I doubt it will make a difference right now, hehehe...
