Is this memory a true bargain?

OCZ PC2-8800 (1100MHz) Gold Edition i have found this memory £85 per 1 gb stick and apparently it matches the

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8888C4 TwinX (2x1GB)
1111MHz RAM Speed, CAS 4-4-4-12 Timings, 2.4-2.5v VDIMM, Lifetime Warranty with Corsair.
Corsair Out of Stock £379.99
(£446.49)

there's a review of it comparing it to the dominator here
I'm pretty shocked by this seeing as the corsair is over twice the price
have i stumbled upon a a true bargain? or a true blunder.

looks good value yea... but could this not have gone in one of the other threads you have created regarding RAM in this forum?

No because people would miss it i feel it's my duty
to point out this ram now as it seems one hell of
a bargain to be had.When i see ram being recommended
that isnt half as good as this.

~£175 seems to be the going rate for the 2Gb kits

it might be worth checking though that the current production is still using the same ICs as those tested 6 months ago?

hm but the tone of your post insinuates a question - not a recommendation.

yea its a decent price, but it doesnt perform as well as the Corsair. most should know that 9/10's performance can be had for about 50% of the cost anyway these days...
