News OCZ launches SPD-Z Technology

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2007/08/09/ocz_launches_spdz/1

OCZ memory can now be custom flashed with a "overclocked" SPD by using its new flashing tool: SPD-Z.

 

This is pretty cool! A great idea, though I personally am not really sure there is much point in it considering that memory speeds and timings are always already in the BIOS anyway. It would only be useful to those who use their memory at certain speeds and switch often.

 

Cool.

Too bad I don't use OCZ.

It can't? Then what was the point of this news post? Was this a joke?

Yay, the kings of nothing releases new crap. Maybe they got tired of sticking pieces of insulating trademarked metal/tape onto their memories while claiming they rock?? Stop killing the scene and get a real job.

 

And how is having a new SPD better then just manually setting the timings yourself?

 

Permanent-ness.
Noobs doing it without fear of not knowing a BIOS.

 

That equals more money for OCZ and the likes as more noobs fry their boards?

 

Mobos? Nope. Fry Memory: it's all warranted so OCZ lose money.

 

wow this is pretty sweet, when i bought my 2gb kit, i couldn't use the 1gb kit with it because the timings weren't exactly the same
OCZ said they would re-flash it for me, but then later said they wouldn't

If only i still had that 1gb kit still its nice to see some new innovations in ram
