OK, I am the FIRST to know that OCZ Tech has been (may or may not still be) fairly shady. Since migrating to an nForce 2 mobo, I have had big issues with getting my FSB to a respectable level. I have an Epox 8RDA+ and an ASUS A7N8X. For me, the Asus is way better than the Epox, it is volt modded but that is not the topic here. I have gone through 5 sticks of Corsair 3500 C2 ram. Ram'd 1 stick once, then both sticks for a total of 5 different sticks. The last RMA was from Corsair directly too. Max FSB with the Corsair and either of my mobo's was 200, no matter the multiplier of the CPU. I have seen users with the OCZ EL DDR that have had nothing but GOOD to say about it, read some reviews with the same conclusions..... Me scratches head and thinks, "OK, I'm gonna take one for the team and order this stuff, even if I have to pay the 15% restocking fee if it sucks". Well guess what? THIS STUFF ROCKS! Currently running at 211 x 11 to test it out, 2.8V. Now I don't know how they would each perform in say a P4 system or a KT333 or a KT400 system but in the nForce2 board, the OCZ EL DDR 3500 is clearly the winner in terms of stability. I can't believe I'M using OCZ! I still feel like I need my head examined!
