OCZ High Perf Memory for the future of gaming

Strengths: Beautiful platinum finish on the heat spreader, fast stock setting of 2-3-2-5 at 2.6v, built to overclock, handles 1GB games like a dream

Weakness: Typical cheesy 'warranty void if removed' sticker is an eyesore on a work of art.

I bought these sticks because the seemed like the best match for my SFF build. I was looking for 2GB of memory with the fastest timings at the stock 2.6v my board supplies. This dual channel pair fills the bill with style and substance. I couldn't be happier with their performance so far. No problems installing them and they handle Battlefield2 like a champ. Smooth as silk with full on high...

Good but not quite what I was expecting

Strengths: Nice product for 2x1GB, cost is decent

Weakness: Not as fast as 4x512 value memory

I bought these with a new system in mind. But I also wanted to use them in my existing motherboard. The odd thing is that these DIMMS ended up slower in my existing MB than the value memory (2.5ns) that I had in there before. My hopes are that this isn't an indicator of how well these might perform on the new MB.

Excellent Value, Stability, Performance

Strengths: Timings, performance, stability, price.

Weakness: Wide body of the heat spreaders might not fit on motherboards with very tight DIMM arrangements.

This is an excellent set of RAM that I am absolutely thrilled with. I was using 2x256MB+512MB for 1GB total in my system, the nice Geil Golden Dragon chips with decent timings. Those chips were nice, but playing a lot of Battlefield 2 and also being a heavy multitasker (software dev, movie encoding, 50+ web pages at once), I jumped when I saw these sticks go up on MonarchComputer.com for $245,...

Excellent Ram!!

Strengths: Tight timings, heat spreader, 2GB, everything else!

Weakness: Price, I was only able to overclock to 420MHz

This is an excellent choice for anyone looking for 2GB of dual channel RAM. It has very good timings at 2-3-2-5, and comes with Platinum heat spreaders. The price is a little steep, but I guess you get what you pay for. The RAM made BF2 run flawless with all the settings maxed out! Same with FarCry. It only overclocks to 420MHz, but I guess thats pretty good for the tight timings, if I were to...

OCZ 2GB Platinum set

Strengths: tight timings, attractive appearance, 2GB,OCZ Customer support

Weakness: none really, price a bit high

First off, OCZ's customer support is OUTSTANDING. If you visit their website, and log into the forums, their representatives will not only reply to your requests for help in a timely manner, but they will provide you with suggestions for timing and anything else you request. They honestly want you to be happy with your purchase. Thats not something you see all that often anymore. As for the...

Works well in a Power Mac, too!

Strengths: Sleek design of heat spreaders Fast cycle times (2-3-2-5) Cost-effective and powerful

Weakness: None discovered

The first thing I noticed after seeing the memory was how beautifully the platinum-colored heat spreaders looked. I installed this in my PowerMac G5 dual 2.0 GHz (8 RAM slots), and now World of Warcraft runs so smoothly. Highly recommended for gamers, graphic designers, and anyone else who uses memory intensive software. Now my system won't lag nearly as frequently when it only had 512MB of RAM.

Great Memory

Strengths: Fast, looks

This memory looks very cool with the platinum heat spreaders. It installed with no problems on my Asus A8n Premium. Runs cool and fast. I can't say if they are any better then other brands. I bought it mainly due to the rebate. But it is comparable to the Corsair XMS that I normally buy.

Excellent!

Strengths: This memory is great. Installed cleanly, no problems. Battlefield 2 no longer stutters. BF2 also used to sit there paging for several minutes when I exited the game - now it just immediately exits.

Weakness: Only that I could only afford 2GB :)

For great memory performance, there is no other kind of RAM. This stuff will help carry your computer into the next generation of high performance games coming out. Bring them on!

Nice sticks

Strengths: Looks great. Tight timmings and OCZ life time warrenty. They have great customer support and they have employees that frequent forums I belong to for added support.

Weakness: Could OC better

The price of these is pretty much in line for what I think OCZ quality ram should be. I got a $25 MIR with mine. I play BF2 much better with 2 of RAM. typically I use between 1.2 and 1.3 GB of ram which would make you think 1.5 GB is okay. ITs not always.... I have seen my memory usuage go over 1.6GB!!!! wow BF2 likes ram a lot.... At any rate I am happy with my purchase and don't think I will...

So far so good

Strengths: Good solid ram, steady performance, good value

Weakness: So far....none

Really solid (and I mean solid) quite heavy for a couple of sticks. With the rebates that OCZ offer, you should be able to pick these up for a great price. I'm really impressed with them so far. Hope they keep going...
