Hopefully this is a step in the right direction.......Currently OCZ's ram is cheaper than Muskins etc in Europe! Their 2GB Plat PC4000 kit is ~20euro cheaper than Mushkins Redline.........It used to be the opposite......You would always have to pay a "bling premium" for OCZ in the past........that seems to be gone now! (@ least over this side of the water)
