I went onto the OcUK site the other day to buy another 2GB of Geil Black Dragon PC6400, and they aren't selling it any more-in fact they're barely selling any Geil RAM at all. Just wondering what happened really, it seemed to be a big favourite not so long back!
 
Might just be availability issues and costs, what with everything going on in the economy at the moment. Geil memory is generally good stuff, most of it good for a bit of overclocking, was relatively cheap and I remember one of the OcUK bods stating it was one of the least RMA'd brands, so I'd imagine the low stocks aren't from choice :)
 
I know it is unrelated but OcUK don't seem to be stocking any Sennheiser products (headphones at least) either.

Do you think there are issues with some suppliers at the moment?

Weird, I got come CX300s off of the OCUK site only a couple of weeks back. As someone's mentioned, maybe it's economically related; could also be something to do with a slight re-arrangement of the shop and website in the wake of the This Week Only malarkey :)

Interesting you should mention that, I'm after a pair of Sennheiser headphones myself, I sent them a web note about a week ago. They got back to me saying 3/5 days. So no idea why there isn't any in stock atm.
 
seems they have reduced certain items since the I.P upgrade, but the huge increase in prices due to the pound being ****e hasn't really helped either :(

OcUK are currently in the process of buying out a lot of manufacturers, shipping their factories and staff over to Stoke to improve supply, and cut down on transportation costs.
 
*OFFICIAL UPDATE*

This week I am currently having a massive sort out of our entire memory section. Some changes are already evident on the website.

I am ordering a new GeIL range today.

Kingston are/ will be back here with a vengance.

New lines of Crucial arriving steadily.

New products from Corsair arriving soon.

Any questions, fire away ;)

I got my Geil from the other place where a certain ex-employee is.......
That DDR3 is nice price but think its mistake on the website as the Geil part number suggest its a 1066Mhz part and not 1333Mhz part like ocuk site suggest so guessin ocuk made a mistake. If it is 1066Mhz part then price aint that special.
 
Geil still make the the orange ULL ram ? - been thinking of getting an extra pair for the second PC

Maybe, but you can pick it up for about £18-£20 second hand, which is usually fine with this quality stuff.

New DDR2 is so cheap though it'd be tempting just to go for a whole new faster set.
