We all know that OCZ has made themselves very famous for reliable and fast memory and they just released this Titanium series that is supposed to be stable for servers, gamers etc. We got a sample of their dual kit to try out to see how it performs and if it really is as stable as they say it is, so we decided to compare it to OCZ gold series and a pair of Mushkin sticks to see the difference.
About Ocz:
Entering the memory market in August 2000, OCZ Technology was built around the determination to manufacture the best high speed DDR and RDRAM. OCZ was founded by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, and our commitment to the end-user has not digressed. OCZ Technology has been an innovator in many areas. We were the first manufacturer to make Dual Channel optimized memory available to the public, which originally took advantage of nVidia's Twinbank or Dual DDR architecture, found in their nForce chipset. We have now taken that technology and tailored it for the Canterwood, and Granite Bay chipset's. OCZ developed and was the first to implement ULN technology, which has been a critical element in our manufacturing process for some time. We at OCZ diligently work to improve communication with CPU and motherboard chipset manufacturers prior to the release of their products. Only in this manner can we fine-tune our memory's SPD settings, ensuring a synergistic relationship between the memory module, memory controller, and microprocessor. In today�s rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, such communication is not simply research, but a necessary component of our manufacturing process.

The ram looks amazing with the tiatium colored heatsinks that you can use as a mirror even if you want that :) On each stick of ram a sticker with the memory information is placed on the side of the stick. Remember that you will void your warranty if you decide to remove the stickers.
