2005-12-14

Tier 1 Gaming site Firing Squad has released their 2005 Holiday Hardware Guide and OCZ was highlighted in both the memory and PSU category for GX XTC and the ModStream 520W! Firing Squad said:

"If you want even higher clock speeds with low latencies, OCZ just released their PC-4000 1024MB Gold GX XTC Edition. These modules run at timings of 3-4-3-8 at a whopping 250MHz (500MHz effective)! The XTC module also supports OCZ's Extended Voltage Protection, meaning OCZ backs the modules at voltages of up to 2.9V, which is important when overclocking."

"Both OCZ and Corsair back their high-end memory products up with a lifetime warranty, although OCZ earns extra points for providing toll-free phone support."



GD Hardware makes their picks for the best holiday gifts this season for gamers in their 2005 Christmas Buying Guide. Picks include ASUS, AMD, and OCZ?s entire Platinum series as the ?fastest RAM around.? Gamers Depot states:

"OCZ's latest Platinum memory is also a nice pick for your performance needs and quite frankly, looks cooler than the black XMS modules from Corsair."



Futurelooks compiled their "2005 Holiday Techie Gift Guide," and this year they picked the OCZ Rally as the must-have USB thumb drive. In the article they state:

"USB Flash Drives used to be so cool. Now they seem to be a dime a dozen. That's why the OCZ Rally is a diamond in the rough."

"The OCZ Rally is the fastest USB drive that we've tried out to date, and we didn?t even have to use a benchmark to notice that; we could feel the speed! In a world where milliseconds separate first and last place, this is huge! The OCZ Rally series comes in 512 MB (tested), 1 GB and 2 GB sizes and to top it off, it comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Get one for your Mobile Techie this Xmas."
