When you hear the name OCZ Technology the first thing to come to your mind is a company that knows how to manufacture top quality memory. While OCZ Technology has begun to manufacture other products such as power supplies, CPU coolers, and even video cards, their main focus is still on computer memory with new and innovative features.
For gamers and serious enthusiasts, getting the most out of every piece of equipment is vital to having the best possible system, and many have turned to multiple video cards in SLI or Cross-Fire configurations.
