Wait....
What ?
The DRAM game is pretty stagnant (in that it isn't growing) and Kingston pretty much rule the roost. The SSD market on the other hand is growing like mad, and no one company has really managed to establish a dominant position.
From a business perspective I guess it makes sense. Still a bit of a shame - I quite liked OCZ memory.
Did OCZ make any high performance RAM like HyperX or XMS ?
This is such a shame, their lifetime warranty was excellent and their RMA process works like a Dream.
I just hope they aren't going to put all their eggs in one basket.
I believe custom PC sales are really down, for me with a over clocked quad core 2 (purchased in 2007), I see no need to upgrade, so will skip a few generations of intel processors.
Thing is, when it comes too SSD's its either a C300 or a Vertex2E, no? So not an overly bad or stupid decision - for us or them.
As above, its sad to see a brand disappear but they were waning anyway.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
NO I love my reaper X ram. Totaly overkill cooling but hey I like it.
I also love my OCZ Vertex 2 as well
Shame to see them go, some great RAM with excellent aftersales support.
Lets hope future lack of big name competition doesn't drive prices up
Probably because their CS department gets so much exercise. I've never known a RAM manufacturer to put out so many sticks which develops faults over time.
Frankly I'm not surprised they're bowing out of the RAM market, they can only compete with the likes of Corsair on price, and having to replace so much broken junk is a double impact on profit margins.
i have 12GB of this make of ram in my server 6x2GB sticks but should i look at buying another 6 sticks now to fill my empty slots before i cant get anymore, as i don't like mixing different makes of ram or is that not a problem anymore.
Shame. Just replaced 2 x 1gb sticks that went faulty on me. Very good service...
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
I agree, fair play, they make great SSDs and not much RAM so stick to what you know (and by know I mean can turn a profit in).
