OCZ Technology 512MB DDR2 SDRAM Memory Module

Strengths: OCZ name brand. 533Mhz is essential for DDR2. Lifttime warranty.

Weakness: The package is kind of too economic.

OCZ is a big name in memory and that's why I bought a pair. No problem to run @533Mhz with dual channel enabled. Everything looks good up till now. However, this memory uses small memory chips on the PCB, which is different from the large memory chips I saw from Hynix and other DDR/DDR2 memory sticks. Don't if it is a bonus or a weakness.

OCZ Memory

Strengths: Fast, cheap

Weakness: none

Lifetime warranty from reputable company. Works well, hasn't broken down yet. Cheap. Compatible with Dimension 4700, although, from what I know, this model's 800 Mhz FSB cannot use the memory (533 MHz dual channel) to its full capacity, so you might as well go with the cheaper PC-3200.

Excellent product

Strengths: Works with Dell 8400

Weakness: none

This is the lowest cost DDR2 PC4200 memory I can find for my Dell 8400. Bought a pair of them and works fine with the Dell. No compaint at all.

OCZ Technology 512MB PC4200 DDR2 DIMM Memory

Strengths: Reputable company, Lifetime warranty, great price. Installed easily into my Dell and performs flawlessly in all demanding apps & on memtest.

Weakness: None. I'm happy these sticks are engineered to operate reliably without requiring heatsinks.

Being familiar with OCZ from previous use of their products, I purchased a pair of these memory sticks from Monarch 2 1/2 months ago. I'd been online shopping for memory for months, and it was the best quality memory I found for the price.
Installing them in my Dell Dimension 4700 was a 5 minute task, and they were up and running. I've found no faults or weaknesses with these, and they are a marked improvement over the Dell-supplied memory(sell on ebay). There hasn't been the first problem, crash, or glitch, and running memtest further confirmed their stability. Although it's very rare for good memory to go bad, the lifetime warranty provides peace of mind.

OCZ RAM is a great choice

Strengths: Reliable; No Compatibility issues so far; Great price; Lifetime warranty.

Weakness: No heatsink.

I'm using a pair of this RAMs in my Dell Dimension 4700, very reliable, no any crashes so far. 4-4-4-8 CAS timing is not bad for a 533MHz DDR2 RAM too. Lifetime warranty is common now but still not all RAMs come with it, I'm glad this OCZ RAM has it.

OCZ RAM is always reliable and affordable

Strengths: Reliable. Lifetime warranty. Affordable price.

Weakness: No heatsink. Cas timing (4-4-4-8) is just so so.

Just like I expected. Easy to install and no any conflicts. Good quality product from a great company. I have used OCZ RAMs several times and I have never experienced any issues. They have a good warranty and great customer service. This RAM comes with lifetime warranty, it's a huge plus! I'm happy with it.

OCZ Technology 512MB DDR2 SDRAM Memory Module

Strengths: The price (offered with a 15 dollar rebate this July 4th weekend) can't be beat! Easy to install, goes right into my Dell 4700 for a fraction of the usual cost. Fast, from reliable company.

Weakness: None so far :) This RAM is 533Mhz: Keep in mind that this memory will run at your lower speed RAM if you have slower memory already installed.

DDR2 keeps going down in price. Keep your eye on Monarch Computers and you're sure to score a good deal ;)I don't understand dual channel, but have heard that many people use this memory to set their systems up this way.
