Default Cell Shock RAM and stuff

Is the Cell Shock and Team Xtreem RAM better than G.Skill HZ's and Crucial Ballistix?

Not trying to be derogatory but whats the bonus to shopping Tankguys as oppose to ZipZoomFly or Newegg?

I'm asking primarily because Tankguys is the only site with these odd brands of RAM and equipment. Seems kinda cool

But yeah back to my original question, I'm going to be upgrading in a couple months since I made the mistake of buying a 650i from MSI and some knockoff OCZ RAM with crappy latency...even my E6400 has a bastard stepping that doesn't OC at all.

Think I should buy from these guys instead? Are they a site dedicated to the hardcore overclockers??

I think so, yes. Both brands tend to overclock extremely well, and both are garaunteed chip types (both Microns). This tends to help in the OC capabilities.

Naturally, there are never any guarantees when it comes to overclocking - but any edge you can get helps

Well, the aforementioned brands are only sold by us, which is one benefit. Second, we do cater primarily to overclockers/enthusiasts, so we tend to have stuff geared towards that. We also have some pretty good service, which I imagine most of our customers would attest to.

Yep. We also have the HiproTech DDR Maximizer as well - we like to have these special products that you guys would like.

I think you should buy from us - but that's your decision And yea, as mentioned above, we are geared towards those groups for sure.
