    This is sad news. I only ever use OCZ in my Rigs.
    Any word on how Warranty's will be honoured?

    Not worried to see them go. I stopped using them in all my builds because their kits just plain didnt work. Never had a DOA but they have issues.
    Since then ive used Kingston and Gskill with no issues whatsoever.

    Last OCZs were DDR2 Plat and DDR2 Reapers

    Cannot believe this, OCZ RAM are my first choice for memory, their sticks last forever. I will miss them, at least they've got a lucrative SSD business and so the brand won't be lost forever, but still it is a bit of a shock

    Quite likely - although AMD have a better market share than OCZ

    Im not surprised the sales of OCZ memory has steadily been in the decline for the last few years now, I mean most dont really think of OCZ first when it comes to memory selection, IMHO of course.

    Pity, their FlexXLC Ram was some of the best I've ever used, and something I'm surprised no other company in the performance market has tried to replicate.

    This is shocking! I still own a pair of the DDR 400 Bronze series. OCZ have great RAM, this seems like an end of an era!

    My Extreme OC Picked Reapers will only ever have a limited number of siblings :( Love them to bits, their one of the things making me think twice about upgrading my platform :-/

    I know. You don't need to be condescending. I was making a point in stating how unexpected this all was - after all OCZ (was) one of the big names in memory. Rebranding or not, confidence is a lot of what drives repeat customers, and if they know they can trust brand X not to buy cheap as pants circuit boards out of a Chinese man's coat, then they'll probably buy from them again.

    Meh never used their RAM. Its always been G-Skill or Kingston for me.

    Their SSDs have a good reputation so sounds like a smart move, especially considering how enterprise level servers using SSDs are becoming commonplace. Huge amount of money to be made there.

    Good riddance! Everything OCZ I've ever had has been terrible... That includes the DDR3 RAM I had initially purchased for my current PC. One stick completely dead, the other two with multiple errors.
