killer upgrade
Cons: None with the memory.

Pros: Matched DDR2-800 memory, good compatibility, fair price
Comment:
When I first installed this my Asus M3N-HT Deluxe/HDMI it wouldn't even POST. I was on the 2602 BIOS, so I upgraded to 2904. Then it would POST and gave me an error about the memory configuration being wrong and suggested I reset the BIOS to factory defaults. I did that and it worked like a champ. I have everything in BIOS set to Auto and it works perfectly now.

Incompatible!
Cons: Would not run more than two sticks (4GB) in My Asus P5N-D mobo. It would boot with 4 (eventually) but Win 7 64 bit would freeze within a few mouse clicks.

Pros: Price was reasonable.
Comment:
I spoke with OCZ support and they gave me settings which differed from the settings recommended by their own support techs in various forums and the settings on the sticker. And yes, I did jack up the north brigde voltage to 1.5 volts to meet the higher demand of 4 - 2 gig sticks. Asus told me they don't recommend OCZ but their qualified vender list hasn't been updated since the mobo came out. They say it's the memory manufacturers job to test their own RAM in all the hundreds of boards out there.In my humble opinion, that was my first and last OCZ purchase. Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are sorry for the problem. For many older motherboards, 8gb of RAM proves to be difficult to run at higher speeds. Slowing your speed to 667mhz will probably allow you to run 8gb of memory, although we realize that is not what you expect. When older boards were built, 8gb of memory was seldom run, and rarely available in a kit that would hit 800mhz. As far as testing, we do test on many different platforms, but testing on every board ever produced is not possible.Thank you

Still on the Fence
Cons: I have found that you have to manually set up your ram in the bios to get them to run at the advertised speed and spec.

Pros: Worked great for like 2 months then one stick went bad...OCZ Customer Service process was easy enough to get an RMA BUT you have to send all 4 Dimms back which sucks if you dont have a backup. Still working Great after replacement.
Comment:
I will never buy a quad kit again since there is no real benefit besides a price discount. It is DUAL channel there is no such thing as QUAD Channel so better off buying two DUAL channel kits so if a dimm goes bad you only have to send back the offending pair.

check for compatibility
Cons: does not work with Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P, Ive checked their forums, tried numerous voltage and speed settings, evey memtest comes out clean, but every real use experience gives BSOD after about 30mins of running .

Pros: if it worked sure it would be great
Comment:
just wish it worked, bought 8gb ram that I have to return Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are sorry that you have had problems with this memory on your board. 8gb is a large memory load, and this is likely related to the issues you are seeing. Please see the link below for setting suggestions, as they may help resolve your issues. If you would like some personalized help, please post in the memory section. We are happy to help.Thank you External Link(s): OCZ Support Forum - Settings|

The only ram I buy for my systems
Cons: None

Pros: I just ordered and installed this in my system I purchase from here last year. I had the same ram installed for a year now with 1gb chips times 4. I swapped it out for this 8gb set and installed the old 4gbs in my wife's new system I just purchased from here. Rock solid look forward to having this around for a long time.

OCZ ram in my 3.4 single core 2X 1bg sticks still running great after 4+ years. I will never buy any ram other than OCZ for my systems.

Great ram though had trouble at first.
Cons: None does everything it says it will.

Pros: If you have a 64bit operating system then this will give you more ram than you know what to do with. Its fairly fast considering they are 2 gig sticks. OCZ technical support is absolutely amazing. Overclocks a little bit as well.
Comment:
When I first installed it, my comp wouldn't boot but then OCZ technical support informed me that I should increase my RAM voltage to 2.1 which my MoBo had not done automatically for some reason. Now it works fine without a problem.

Excellent Purchase
Cons: None that i can see

Pros: Never been disappointed with OCZ ram. Great product and excellent stock performance
Comment:
Even though i'm running this ram in a Whitebox ESXi 4 server and don't care to overclock anything i'm sure it will handle a little tweak here and there.Gets 5 eggs cause it does what they are suppose too. For those that push the product i would expect no less then a 4 rating as it was never intended to take what they are trying to do with this ram.

Cons: none

Pros: 8 gigs, great for running Virtual machines or image editing.
Comment:
This kit was on sale for $80.00 when I got it, look at the price now!Good tech support from OCZ. At one time I thought I had hardware probs, turns out XP Pro 64 bit was the prob. Win 7 x64 Ultimate is smokin fast and stable.

Solid memory for over a year and counting...
Cons: None.

Pros: This RAM is solid, reliable memory. I have 8GB installed running in an Asus P5B-Plus, and have had no problems.
Comment:
The SPD timings wern't as good as the stated timings so I had to manually set them to 5-5-5-18 in the Bios. 5-5-5-15 works well too, but I havn't tried overclocking these any further than that.

Great Product
Cons: They are snug on the motherboard but they do fit. Heat can be an issue in a poorly ventilated box. Be sure you have sufficient fans.

Pros: Great product. I bought 4 2GB sticks. OS startup was quicker as well as loading in-game maps/levels. Overall great performance upgrade.
Comment:
Great bang for the buck. Paid $159 for 8gb and got a flash drive (which I don't really use but cool anyway) The gold cooling plates make them look pretty slick if you have an open case.

oh so good!
Cons: um... more like my case, it was a pain in the behind to install. hard drive enclosure right over the RAM slots. nothing negative about the RAM

Pros: it is everything that i have ever looked for in RAM. large capacity, great speed, low price (at least it was when i bought it)my windows 7 report has gone from a 5.2 on my ram (my previous 3GB of RAM) to a 7.1.

Cons: Hot Manufacturer Response:Hello, memory temps can be affected by a few factors. Case ventilation and ambient temps can make a difference. Having cooler fresh air available can help the heatspreaders do their job. Higher voltages and tighter timings can also increase temps.Thank you

Fast, functional, beautiful.
Cons: - None, this is what you need.

Pros: - Works without any problems.- Flawlessly runs with Windows 7, x64 - extraordinarly snappy perfromance.- The gold adds class to my case.- Using with: ASUS M4A78 PRO Mobo, AMD Phenom II X4 955 and EVGA 896-P3-1257-AR GeForce GTX 260. Incredible combo.
Comment:
When I purchased this my friend told me it was overkill but to me not having to ever worry about running out of memory is not overkill. I can do as much multitasking I want without worrying about cleaning up my tasks to free-up memory (I'll still do out of habit). Finally, my computer can keep up with me.

Good Upgrade for my HP
Cons: Not a whole lot here.

Pros: Full upgrade memory in one package at a good price plus gold always looks good in a computer.
Comment:
I had a stick go bad after a couple of weeks but newegg came through with a new set. Since then it's been running like a champ. The gold actually does something because these things get WARM while running. I usually buy computers then upgrade them to where I want them. This time around I upgraded an HP a6700y pc. The memory made a HUGE difference in how fast it ran. Please note that if you are running a 32bit OS like XP or Vista, this would be overkill since they do not use anything more than a hair over 3GB of memory. If you have Vista 64 or XP 64 (I think) then go for it. I have yet to max out my memory usage after installing these.

Went bad after 3 months
Cons: I bought one set of these, and about three months later, one stick went bad on me. Not the end of the world, but past the RMA time and now I'm stuck with a bad card. It took me forever to troubleshoot down the RAM problem, and I ended up buying a new HD because I thought that was the problem.

Pros: Good price, gold outside makes for easy handling
Comment:
Expect one card to go bad at some point. It's still a good deal. Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are sorry that you had a problem. While memory can fail, it is not uncommon for a kit to last beyond the lifetime of a system. No OCZ customer is ever stuck with bad memory. We have a lifetime warranty and will gladly replace your kit. Please visit the link below and create a support ticket to start the RMA process.Thank you External Link(s): OCZ Support Page|

excellent value and performance
Cons: None thus far. It's...memory, it doesn't flash pretty colors at you. If it's doing what it's supposed to do, your system simply functions with no glitches - and that's precisely what mine has done, function with no glitches. Best of luck to anyone who does happen to hit a glitch, but I personally have not, and it's been winners all around thus far - and from what I've seen, excellent representation from OCZ on here, being quick to address problems cited in reviews. And before anyone makes the accusation, no, I don't work there, but I do come from a software house - so I both understand the value of, and very much appreciate, those who take pride in their brand name. The pride shows in their product far as I can tell - again, winners all around with this one, even though I've yet to reach beyond 5GB consumption (4.3GB of which is cache - linux kernel innit!) what address space I *do* happen to touch goes through quickly, with no hiccups.

Pros: It...does what it's supposed to do. It stays out of the way and let's me crunch numbers. Nothing but positive experiences with it - bought it along with a Phenom 9950 and a new Asus mobo from newegg, slapped it in, fired right up with no configuration or timing tweaks required.
Comment:
Even the heavy I/O of a number of ramdisks (compiler cache) hasn't managed to cause any hiccups. Thanks to OCZ for their excellent customer service (and newegg too, though that's a given!) and excellent product at an affordable cost.

solid deal
Cons: none. 8 gigs for approx $100,,, you can't go wrong

Pros: Reasonable price for those needing to up grade memory and are limited to a 800mhz( pc6400) motherboard bus.Works well at rated settings and is a plug n play upgrade for the thosewith limited computer hardware knowledge. Here's your answer for win7 64 bit or ugh,,,vista 64 bit. It will definetly improve your performance in all areas. It can do some heavey duty multi tasking with this stuff and never run out of memory.
Comment:
Make sure your motherboard supports 2gig modules in its ram slots, not all do, but the gigabyte socket 775 965p s3 that it was purchased for loves it.
