True, BUT I also heard that OCZ and Geil send "hand-picked" modules to these review sites... (also, if I remember correctly, don't Geil modules need 3.0v+ to really "shine"?? sorry, none of my boards go that high... ) If I'm going to spend my hard-earned money, I like to spend on "proven" stuff tested by my peers rather than reviewers who gets their stuff for free.. If a lot of guys come out and say Geil and OCZ are really that good AND backs it up, then I'll think about switching... but I'm not that brave just yet...
I'm not partial to XMS either, but my first hand experience tells me they're the best. I'm running Hyper-X's in my IC7 (Canterwood) right now, and I have 2x512MB Winbond BH-5 modules coming to me next week.
