Press Release: OCZ Technology Group Continues to Push the Envelop with the World's First Reduced Latency 1GHz Memory

Seems like my favorite RAM manufacturer is far from slowing down in serving the enthusiasts crowd. It has been known that OCZ manufactures great RAM for the niche market, but even so, despite the many competition, the only way forward for OCZ is to continue to ramp up. They have very good products, at a very competitive price. Of course, their enthusiasts-kind-of product comes at a price. Anyway, now that the other CPU manufacturer will also be supporting DDR2, I'm sure AMDroids will also ride the tide and rave how this is also a good memory, crap.
