OCZ Introduces DDR-3 1800 speed RAM
It's really nice to have this spiffy new and fast RAM, now we just need a motherboard to truly take advantage of it.

Memory based on the exciting new Micron Z9 memory chips for DDR3 first appeared a couple of weeks ago and we looked at it in Super Talent & TEAM: DDR3-1600 is Here! As predicted in that review, it was only a matter of days until most of the major enthusiast memory makers began talking about their own products based on Micron Z9 chips. Some even announced availability of the new kits in the retail market.

As explained in the past, all memory makers buy raw memory chips available in the open market. Some memory makers do not like to talk about the chips used in their DIMMs, as they consider that information proprietary, but this secrecy does not normally last very long. It is rare to see a memory manufacturer with a truly exclusive supply arrangement with a memory vendor, but several companies have been trying very hard to do just this, and we may see more of these attempts in the future.
