It's just regular PC2100 memory that's been tested to run at either PC2400 or PC2700 specs at CAS2.5. I believe they use Hynix chips.

It's not bad memory but isn't anything special either. Should be no compatibility problems if your PC accepts standard PC2100 memory.

The memory may not be bad, but the company is questionable. If you read some of their reviews on www.resellerratings.com, you'll see why. I'd be wary of buying from them

i would get crucial 2100, still one of the best overclocking chips ever...

I'm happy with mine stick of Ocz PC150 (Pc133 pre-tested)

I HAD been a supporter of OCZ since they started... I have in the past couple weeks changed my tune, not only about the company (it was sold) but the shady product line. I have just completed a SERIOUS water-cooling system and NONE of the ram I have from them would exceed 133 FSB, not even the PC166 Tiny MGA ram I got. I'm gonna stick with Crucial, Muskin and Corsair from now on.

I read a thread in a forum not too long ago about someone complaining that the ocz ram didn't overclock worth a cr** and he ended up going ahead and buying some crucial ram. Be sure and do some research on their products before you buy, I've read a lot of complaints about them. I personally have only bought 1 item from them; an Agilent Arcticooler and it took almost 2 weeks to receive that from them.

Yah Im in the same boat as Tacobell, I have two sticks of Ocz 256mb pc150 and its great, I accidently spilled coffee

(actually My cat felt the need to jump off my monitor and spilled the coffee, but its his Pc)

on one of the modules and I just ran it under water and let it dry and its good as new.

Heard the storys about buying from OCz, but I bought my Ocz ram from Skip

It is a shame. My first experience overclocking was with them. I find now that the product line is getting rather thin, they are not bringing out the latest and heck, they are the only site on the net that I can get a shopping cart full of nothing more than the shipping fees (ordered product disappears). I too am now leary of them but wish I was'nt. I sometimes still purchase OCZ products but I do this from other sites.:confused:

Quick update for those who haven't heard. OCZ was bought by Ability Computers.
