Introduction:

   If you've heard of OCZ, then you are familiar with who they are and what they do. If you haven't, then you are new to computers or have been living under the proverbial "rock" since the late 90's. OCZ Technology has been creating DRAM memory since 2000 and other components, such as CPU Cooling products, years before that. My first OCZ component was the "Goliath" CPU Cooler and was a performance upgrade at the time.

Those were the days of loud, shrieking fans, and copper coolers that weighed nothing by today's standards and are now considered archaic. At the time, the Goliath was a great cooler that helped start OCZ down the path to recognition as a company that was founded for the enthusiasts.

Today's OCZ is a galaxy away from that point in time and is now producing some of the most successful memory modules in the world. The title of "The Fastest" and "Most Overclockable" memory modules has been in their corner many, many times. OCZ is a staple and legend of sorts, among the masses of gamers, overclockers, and enthusiasts.
