"-This is an update from a post about 5 pages back. This is the update that I completely forgot to add.

Well, I finally got the second stick after 2 weeks and once again, it was junk. I took this stick to my local computer store and had it tested, guess what, it's junk. Of course, I am not surprised after reading some of the articles on the internet about this company being just one of several names for a business that is supposedly dealing in "shady" business practices. I'm not sure if it's true, but it does make you wonder when you can't get a product that works, can't get any customer service, and then get a 512 stick of ram, that posts as 256 and causes your computer to crash."

"The worst company I have ever made a purchase from. Oh I got the Voodoo5 5500 from them finally, like two months later. On top of this, they lap their heatsinks for hardware sites to review, but don't lap the ones they sell to their customers. They are VERY dishonest people. Only those who post below, and above, saying they would buy again are those who have actually been lucky. When it all comes down, customers should NOT be lucky to get their products. They are a company that makes the USA look bad!"

"I ordered a barebones system from OCZ and the shipping was horrible! It took almost a month before it finally arrived. I even sent daily e-mails and called their customer service (long distance) and never got replies. However, since it has been shipped, it has been running perfectly and I am happy with the product, but not the service."

"These guys were great to deal with. I ordered a power supply, 256 MB of PC-2400, a copper shim, and a heatsink. My order arrived within a week of placement. Their website lets you track the status of your order, which I found very handy. Everything worked perfectly when it arrived. I have the PC-2400 running at its rated 150 mhz FSB without a problem."
