I have a set of the tri channel ddr3 1600 plat that I think is awesome. every bit as good as the corsiar, mine is the early released stuff and may be different thata what is available now. not normally a fan of ocz but mine rocks.

Only difference I could tell between my cheap DDR3 I had and the stuff that cost 8 times as much was the volts required to do the same thing.

But I have limited ddr3 experience. (one set of micron d9s)

this particular set of OCZ that i have is absolute junk. i have tried 3 different extreme processors and this crap defaults to 1066 in the bios and struggles go get above it. i pulled it out and dropped a couple sticks of kingston value ram and it runs 1333Mhz in the BIOS no problems. i am going to RMA it and probably sell it.
