RAMs... Star, Aeneon, Elxier, Spectek

Say SuperClockers buys OCZ's Value ram at DDR2 533MHz and find it will sustain 667MHz with a bit of a voltage boost. Well SuperClockers takes OCZ's Value ram and rebadges as their SuperClockers SuperRAM 667MHz with new voltages for a new profit. What do you think you'd end up with by buy their SuperRAM?

, A little to exteme but cool B).

Well sure, manufacturers can't get everything manufactured from scratch. Some things come pre-built and are assembled.

My caution stems from something along this idea:

OCZ picks up some chips from Infineon. OCZ takes the best ones as sell them as their Platinum line. The ones that don't qualify but are still good, get packaged up as their Value line. When you buy an OCZ Platinum or an OCZ Value, you know what you're getting.

Now let's use company X, let's call them SuperClockers.

Say SuperClockers buys OCZ's Value ram at DDR2 533MHz and find it will sustain 667MHz with a bit of a voltage boost. Well SuperClockers takes OCZ's Value ram and rebadges as their SuperClockers SuperRAM 667MHz with new voltages for a new profit. What do you think you'd end up with by buy their SuperRAM?

Not all companies are dishonest like that, but it's hard for the average person to know if they are or not. Figuring out what you bought by analyzing each of the indivual chips can be complicated and time consuming. Buying from a trusted company, you know you don't have to worry.

Good point J.. lol
