OCZ DDRAM! Be aware...!

@crilicM@n · Nov 2, 2002

It seems people is haveing a bad time with OCZ DDRAM memoryes...!!!! I was checking my tusl2c problem in the asusboards forums and found this:
http://www.asusboards.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=241602#post241602

Do not buy anything overnight memoryes! It´s the same crap generation of mems...
Altought, theyr pc150 and pc166 has been reasonable good stuff...

OCZ has always made crummy memory IMHO

My girlfriend's system is getting 3238/3232 from her OCZ PC3000 512MB stick. I don't think those numbers suck.

BTW, she has a P4 1.6A & Asus P4S533 mobo. 152FSB @ 1.6V, 4:6 divider, no volt mods, normal settings. Stable as a rock.

I also use an Asus/OCZ combo and haven't had problems.

I also have had good success with OCZ. Here in Canada, Corsair is very hard to find. I was running OCZ PC2700 @ 186mhz (p4 2.0@ 140Mhz). This was the limit for this ram. Not bad for an early PC2700 stick. They were just coming out then.

I purchased a 2.66 and o/c'ed it to 155. On my P4B533E, that means 406mHz. Most PC2700 will not do that.

Got some PC3500 EL CS2 OCZ. Happily run at 406 with 2325 timing and getting 3100+ on SiSoft. I am happy with this.

Yes Corsair would probably run @ 2225, but the difference would be marginally at best.

Again just my opinion that some one probably did get screwed by OCZ and happened to yell very loadly about it. It is probably no better or worst that most name brand ram out there.

Nice numbers! I'm jealous!

There was an expose on OCZ and there were allegations that OCZ was a scam. I think they got slammed publicly after that. Nevertheless, I had bought my RAM and I haven't had any problems, so I'm not complaining. Also, my girlfriend's Sandra numbers suggest that her stick is not just adequate, but comparatively awesome by ANY standard.

@crilicM@n · Nov 3, 2002

I´m usinc Ocz sdram pc166 inthe TUSL2c without problems, but i´m on 111fSB with my celeron600... But I tested it 150 cas2 4w Interleaving Ok on my last board... But I do saw many people on that forum telling bad things... Maybe aspecific batch of their memory... And, listened that they had closed... Anyway... I´d not buy a ddram from them now.... Even having a good OCZ microBga sdram stick...

scrappydog, what dog is that!!!

LocutusofBorg · Nov 3, 2002

i went thru 3 types of ddr333
Crucial
Corsair XMS
and Geil
none of the above would run at 2-2-5-2-1t
on my AT7
I got some OCZ rev 3.2 pc2700
and it rocks

It's an old frag name given to me by my LAN buddies. I would run around and wait for people to get in 1-on-1 battle and then I'd drop a grenade on both of them... and get the 2 kills. So, as a dog, I'm a nasty mutt you want to kick.

I can't read the numbers (1600x1200 resolution). What are they? Also, how does your OCZ compare to other sticks you've had?

@crilicM@n · Nov 3, 2002

Ok Frag man!!!

That picture is really small and hard to see... the 300 pixels size limit restricted too much out view... i think at least 320x240 could be better becouse it´s a multiple proportional of the higher resolutions, so when shrinking the image, it stays better quality...

In another thread, someone noted that you can upload graphics on another site, and paste the URL in your message to display a graphic larger than 300x300. Check out this URL:

Sorry about the image quality, yeah the 300x300 rule sucks! anyway heres a link to a hopefully better image of my memory scores.

hmmmmmmm

MDA · Nov 4, 2002

hmmmmmmm

I know wot your thinking and i can assure you im genuine! The image turned out crap cos i turned down the quality of the jpeg! as it turns out i didnt need to. So here is the full quality version!

Appologies for any dought i might have caused. oh and here is my wcpuid screeny.

Nooo imagine.... I said Hmmmm becouse I found them good numbers!!! Good results are always welcome to be apreciated and discussed considering a way of building better hardware combinations... I´m not the kind of guy that enters sucha discussions... I know how easy it is to fake numbers... but this is not the case. Sorry for making you the work of double posting MDA!
If someday doubt something I´ll write: "I doubt it", be shure

scrappydog · Nov 4, 2002

How does your OCZ compare to the other RAM vendors you have used? I'm curious to know.

@crilicM@n · Nov 4, 2002

mine was better, but that´s just becouse ther is only crap mem here...

Sorry about th@t misunderstanding, just didn't want to get the wrong reputation in the forums, people who create numbers should, and are, "%&* apon...........all they serve to do is to make it harder for genuine people.

Is number jacking common? That seems a bit bizarre.
