Adata PC4000

Click the image to view a larger picture.

Adata DDR500 is a very reasonably-priced DDR500, but somewhat difficult to find in the US market. It is readily available and widely used in many Asian markets. It was the only DDR500 tested in this roundup which was not supplied as a Dual-Channel kit. The DIMMs are packaged without heatspreaders, and labeled are assembled from blanks that carry an Adata ID.

The Adata performed well at DDR500, but our samples were some of the poorer overclockers in our DDR500 roundup.

    As an OCZ employee, it is hard for me to understand why somebody would blatantly trash us when they have nothing to gain from it. I spend countless hours doing my best to make sure our customers are happy. If you have had a problem with OCZ, as my colleague stated, OCZ will gladly take care of it.

    Our product and service speak for themselves. Try our memory, I am sure that you will enjoy your experience with OCZ.

    I would like to add a note to the folks who are complaining ,I have added this before and will continue to repeat it ,

    If you have or have had in the past a problem with an OCZ product , take a minute to email me about it , It is certainly worth your while

    oczguy@ocztechnology.com

    If you have not , stop the bashing or at least bash with your real name. I have a strong feeling anyone saying anything negative , has never had a bad expirence with an ocz product or service.

    Thanks

    Anandtech does not get paid directly for the those links to OCZ , a company named Industry Brains I beleive sells those pay per click links on a number of sites to OCZ , they are the same links that show up on toms hardware as well as numerous other sites and are purchased in bulk by OCZ who does not control where the links show up.

    In addition those links have been here for quite a while and I have just begun seeing positive ocz reviews here while I have been seeing positive feedback about ocz on several other sites for several months.

    Maybe you all can consider the possibility that OCZ is doing something better that other people , Its not as if the win here was not nessarily a landslide , I beleive geil was only slightly trailing.


    thanks

    No point in complaining anymore. AT has gone down the same toilet as Tom's. Both are shining examples of what happens when a person who knows what he's talking about turns over his site to a bunch of people who don't.

    #19,

    What do you expect? They obviously think we are stupid people. We do know that OCZ Technology is a sponsor. It's SHOWING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SITE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!

    This site is tainted. I'm so sick of these OCZ reviews. I'm sick of these biased and tainted reviews just to impress the company.

    Anandtech needs to fire all his staff and hire people that "know something about the industry"...

    Ryan Peterson is STILL with OCZ. He has a criminal record. That company decietfully left Indiana because of the BBB complaints. Can't complain if they are in another state now can ya?

    Now you got to ask yourself. Why would Anandtech take them on a sponsor when other sites won't touch them? Money..... Straight up Money. If I see another fricken OCZ review on this site. Then I know that Anandtech sold himself to the devil.

    It's quite comical. Kyle hates OCZ but yet deals with Anand. I guess it's true about big sites. It's all about the money and they lie straight to your face that it isn't. What a laugher

    With manufacturers supplying the memory, even if they ALL "Cherry-pick", the comparison is still valid. We would be comparing the best of the best.

    In my next review of DDR400 memory performance, a different manufacturer was the fastest DDR400 memory available - because it TESTED the fastest. I report what I find, and if I didn't do that my reviews would not be credible. My integrity, and AnandTech's integrity, matter much more than any favorable review.

    As for ads, our site software is designed to cluster related reviews and ad links around the item being reviewed - to make it easier for YOU - our readers - to find more information on what you are reading. As Editors, we have no idea what ad links will be associated with our reviews.

    QUOTE~
    #11: OCZ is not a paid advertiser. If you pay attention to those links, you'll see its companies like ATACOM, Newegg, and SVC promoting OCZ memory. If you do not feel comfortable with OCZ, then I would suggest not using those merchants.

    Kris umm where it says Sponsored Links (Get Listed) that link for OCZ memory is directly to there site no ATACOM, or newegg is promoting that site?So why say OCZ is not a paid advertiser??

    #15 are u dumb? There is going to be a module that going to get the high rating and of course if Atacom sees which module from a specific company got the honors they are going to promote it!!! and anyway just because OCZ was shining in the review that did'nt mean there where others modules that were'nt shining as well ex Geil, and Corsair
