OCZ 3700 GOLD: Building High-Performance Memory

A Closer Look
We already knew that the Crucial DIMMs using Samsung chips were outstanding performers, but we decided to take a closer look at the DIMMs and their performance.
The Crucial single-sided 256Mb DIMM carries the Samsung label that identifies it as using CB3 chips.
The chip markings are difficult to read in the photograph, but the chip is marked as "K4H560838D-TCB3". A check with Samsung specifications at http://www.samsung.com/Products/Semiconductor/ show that these chips are used in modules of both DDR333 and DDR400 DIMMs. We have seen them used at DDR333 CAS2.5 and DDR400 CAS3.0.

#63, you clearly don't read AT's reviews very closely. Take a look at AT's recent KT600 reviews and you'll see that they continually suggeset purchasing nForce2 U400 motherboards instead. They don't go all out and bash the KT600 motherboard because there IS NO REASON TO. KT600 boards are SLIGHTLY slower, SLIGHTLY poorer overclockers, and come with the same features for a lower price. Sure, enthusiasts will always go with nForce2 U400, but that doesn't make KT600 motherboards terrible, and therefore deserving of a bad review.Yikes, get a clue.

What it all boils down to isn't how the memory is made, it is the quality of product.OCZ has a quality product. One OCZ rep in particular, Sean Sinah, has stayed up until 3 AM to personally answer my question. Let's see Corsair or Mushkin do that.
I personally believe that Mushkin, Corsair and OCZ all make good product. Beyond product, OCZ has the customer service.

to post #63, so your saying AT can't review anything to do with an Intel or AMD CPU since I see AMD and Intel advertised here, which means they can't use it in any reviews at all, gee you sure are a smart one.Anonymous User - Saturday, August 16, 2003 - link
It doesn't take a genius to search the sites of AT and see that the advertisers products that do get reviewed never get bad ratings. Why is this? Or better yet, why review an advertisers product? Don't you think people won't think something is fishy behind that?Anonymous User - Thursday, August 14, 2003 - link
To clarify that last post, all OCZ advertisements on the website are co-brand advertisements, meaning they do not come from OCZ. For example, the ATACOM banner with OCZ on it is ATACOM promoting their OCZ products.Anonymous User - Thursday, August 14, 2003 - link
#49We do not get paid by OCZ nor will we anytime soon. Unlike other hardware sites (whom OCZ can probably vouche for), we just dont do those kinds of things
