Ahh, they were only talking about the combo as a suggestion to OCZ, which I think they need to jump on for sure. Combo > buying both components seperately.

the whole point of the VX is to sell the booster, its dumb to NOT make a combo
my favorite combo would be 1 gb VX + booster + 120mm delta fan for 300 shipped :D
^the type of people who buy this RAM are probably vmodded or already own a booster so an extra $30-$40 for them is a waste
thats why the combo is optional...
also, im getting this RAM tomorrow and im not vmodded nor do i own a booster yet
I'd take a 1GB + Booster combo in seconds (After I get paid that is).
Not to sidetrack the thread or anything, but on a S939 FX-53, this or BH5? (K8N Neo2 Plat).
In stock now at Excaliburpc :D

Good I will wait to hear results from you guys to decide on this. Might be better than TCCD I have if I can get decently low timing around 250-270FSB range.
These should be awesome for 754 rigs where high speeds is an issue with 2x512 and 939 cpu's that have a hard time running tccd at high speeds due to mem controller.
Just ordered mine, hope it works well with an Nforce2 board for the time being till I go to 64 bit, I couldn't be bothered to wait for other people to try it out first so I though, sod it. Hope I can get 250 2-2-2-x.
Any idea on this question anyone?

Can OCZ do anything about the price gouging? Especially for overseas people, paying over $300(us) for something that has an msrp of $250~ is ridiculous.
yeah , were working on it
I'm not ordering until they drop it back down. I'd understand a $5.00 price hike, but $25.00 in a matter of a few minutes is straight greedy.
Not sure how your Nforce 2 results will be ,
if you can do the voltage you might do pretty well , these dont do much at all at low voltages
BTW these now are down to 269 at excaliber ,
looks like someone is adjusting the prices minute by minute there
Sweet! They dropped it back down. I'm ordering right now.
wow, excaliber had a total of 10 2x512 kits. They sold them all in less than 10 min!!! They should have more in a few days or until ocz can meet the demands. all I can say is wow!
LOL price is down to 269...someone must have "the powa" ;)
259 now m8 ....LOLQuote:

Just wanted to jump in to say that OCZ, I love you guys now. Before I got heavy into hardware a few months ago I only knew of Corsair and Kingston, and after a while I heard of OCZ, but never took note really. Now that I've been browsing hardware forums more and such and seeing you guys everywhere, just wanted to say that I don't plan on buying any other brand of RAM (excluding BH5, I mean, common now, it's BH5 :p: ).
<3 you guys.
And someone shoot the guy handling the pricing!! Rofl! :lol: :lol:
Well Steve it looks like you got some serious demand for this stuff! Congratulations guys! :toast:Quote:

Save some for me guys! Need 2 more weeks to get the money :(
I got it, baby! Woohoo! I got the last set! :D I think I'll take the rest of the day off since eXcaliberPC freakin' stressed me out for a good 20 minutes.Quote:

I have a DFI Infinity, so that goes up to 3.3 Vdimm so hopefully I'll be able to get something? If not then I only have a month to wait.
Well I hope to see your results soon
excaliber had 10.
8 were taken by xs members. trans am, acidbaby, conrad, ocmyface, starblazer, winston, Brum Man, and Orker.
Yes, we're hiring. We need more cops on our streets. I work for LAPD doing audits of background investigations. With that said, I'm going home now.Quote:

what a crock! i kept check'n ALL fricken day @ work to see if they came "in stock"...then i go home, have something to eat and their ALL GONE :grr:
There are going to be dudes from other forums scratching their heads when they start seeing screenies of 2x512 at 260mhz+ It's the inside info we get from OCZ that makes this the best computer enthusiast forum in the world! Not to mention the helpful members and dedication to overclocking. :toast:Quote:

Where do you get your info from? You also had all the info on how many sets they had, that one international order was refused and that an employee made a mistake when putting that last pair up?Quote:

Cheers mate, yeh I'm starting to see that already. Done a bit of reading around and it seems a VERY useful place to be!
One thing and only thing I am worried about now is... do you guys plan to speed bin this and making something else again? I hated when that happened with 3200 EL plat rev2... (4200EL Plat took all the good potential out). And if you do, it would be nice for XS members to know a little ahead of time so they can hold off on purchase instead of jumping blindly in when time comes for lower binned 3200VX.
you would hope they improve on each model wouldn't you ? :)Quote:

I'll be honest with you, folks. For some reason, purchasing these VX modules was a very stressful event for me. I've vested interest in this RAM since Ryan first introduced them to us. When I was a kid, I remember how my Mom promised to take me to the swapmeet on Saturday morning to purchase my Lionbot aka Voltron. I couldn't sleep the night prior to that Saturday morning. I had the same exact feeling today. Peep my posts from earlier today. I've been up since 7:00am anticipating eXcaliberPC's release of the VX. You have no idea how I felt when the price I saw on the site was at $284.00 - and I felt like puking when I read what trans_am wrote about only 10 kits being in stock.
So, it's been a roller coaster ride today. I have the day off on Friday and the FedEx homie always knocks on my door before 10:00am. Sorry, wife. I'm spending quality time with my PC this weekend. Here's $284.07. Go shopping with the girls and leave me in peace. :D
Rofl. I wish my girlfriend was that understanding :(
lmao, conrad your sig sig still makes me laugh! Sorry for being off topic boys, when thursday hits and everyone has their VX we'll be marching to a different tune.
Ordered my VX today..should receive it in a couple of days.. will report back :)
EDIT: when i placed my order it said "STOCK: Yes"
30min later it said NO
Did i make it??
EDIT 2: I dont think it will matter
* Next shipment will arrive on Dec. 1, 2004 (WED)
Its only a days difference waiting..thank god
Should start a new 'Post your VX Results here!' thread at that time :)
If you placed an order and it went through, I'd assume it worked. If you paid for it, it did.
Damn, I just woke up and they've all been snapped up! :mad:
trans am if your a regular customer maybe you could tell me what (Accounting OK) means on the order status page? thx
Its all good... They are getting more in stock tomoz :)Quote:

Accounting OK means that the order was processed and all credit card/bank verifications have been completed. Now you can just sit back and wait for your tracking number.
I was nervous, and just to make sure everything was cool, I checked my online banking statement to ensure that eXcaliberPC debited my account.
EDIT:
trans am listed the 10 lucky recipients here.
Yup, will be eagarly waiting for the new stock tomorrow. :toast:Quote:

Well if I was the only one that got email from fedex then it probably won't happen tonight. I put in the notes secton when I placed the order to please ship tonight for thurs. delivery. Amazing what people will do if you ask nicely.
wish id of thought of that, i was in such a hurry to order it before they sold out that i didnt even look twice before hitting checkout, hope i didnt put some stupid random address like my school :stick:

How the hell are you gonna bump up your price $25.00 in a matter of 30 minutes, and then drop it back down to what it was originally supposed to be? Ya'll are some trippin' ### mofos! Tryin' to play wit my emotions and all. Fo' rilla. Don't be messin' wit my scrilla.

Guys don't forget that if you want to run high voltages into any ram even this stuff you MUST have airflow over the ram and even more so if you're using a booster.
Cool ram = happy and fast ram :D
Damn you for forcing me to somehow magically mount a fan over my RAM with no case modding experience and absolutely no idea on how to do so!
LOL, that's a post straight from a quivering RMA department if ever I saw one !Quote:

Even I knew that. Why I mounted a 12cm fan 2 inches from the RAM. Gotta love the Lian Li V series for their upside down approach to everything. My RAM had been smoked ages ago if I hadn't. Cool to touch though :D
Going to buy OCZ Booster in a few hours, to max my ??? RAM :)

I just put a 120mm fan right above my ram
Guys, I have a hypothetical question here. Let say I have a VX and a booster running at 3.5v that is cooled by an 8cm fan placed on top of it. If the fan was accidently moved and the RAM and booster overheats, which hardware will be KIA? Booster, RAM, mobo, or all of them?
That's what tie-wraps were invented for :DQuote:

I got a call from ExcaliberPC and i have to verify my address becuase its "different" from the address on file with my credit card, so i definately wont be receiving this RAM until monday at the earliest
this happens everytime :brick:
Let's say it was a freak accident. Which one will die? :stick:Quote:
