CORPORATE PROFILE
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.
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
So, you've saved up your cash, and have decided to build a top-notch computer system. Quad core CPU, monster SLI GPU power, and maxed-out RAM, all crammed into a high-tech case. Of course, to power this rig, you need a beefy PSU. Most people would settle for the unit that came with their case, or perhaps a PSU that they found for a good deal, but not you. You want a PSU that matches your new rig in power. Today, I'm taking my power tester to OCZ's newest entry into the PSU battles, the ProXStream 1000 watter. Follow along, and we'll see if this monster PSU lives up to OCZ's name.
