Got this memory because another brand was garbage after few months of headaches. Using windows 7 ultimate 64-bit, 4 gig of this ram, msi mobo with amd phenom 2. Runs faster than Usain Bolt.

Good Memory
Comment:
I have been using these for about 3 weeks now. No issues at all. Works fine. Looks good too. Should help keep everything cooler on the motherboard.

KEEP THIS IN MIND
Comment:
This product doesn't run natively at 1066, it runs at 800. To get it to run at 1066 you must overclock it and raise the voltage to 2.1 as it defaults to 1.8v Do with care or you have a pair of crusty chop sticks... I dropped a notch on the performance because they slip that information in sideways rather than just assure you it works overclocked and be done with it.

Good Memory
Comment:
Good memory and works exactly as expected. I actually came back today to order another 4GB but to my amazement the price has jumped over 100% from $69.99 to $149.99 since I bought it August of 2009! Thanks but no thanks this time around.

good ram
Comment:
For the most part RAM is RAM, the more you have the faster you go. That being said I have over clocked this ram as high as my P5N-D MB Bios will let me and these things are rock solid and still running very cool temps only 3 degrees C from not being overclocked and they have been running that way for over a month. This is actually my second set of this ram as I went from 4gb to 8gb. and still no issues.

Worth it
Comment:
No problem with the performance. You'll need to consider the height before purchasing, as they do take up some space. If you've got the room then you won't go wrong with the heatsink that's provided. It's time for a Super ATX form factor!

Forget about OCZ rebates even if you do everything right. They say they are not with this reseller.

Great cooling aready installed!
Comment:
The first set went bad in 2 hours...it happens. The exchange was easy and fast and the new set works great. The cooling is very effective. It droped my motherboard temp by 5 degrees C over the regular heat spreaders on 4 1GB simms. It's also good having only 2 simms with the same amount of RAM. I have't tried overclocking the RAM but I'd bet it could handle it better than most. I really liked that it had the extended cooling already installed. I'm not very comfortable prying things off and pressing things on the simm. It also looks great in a window case and no fan needed.

Great product
Comment:
No problems with it so far, I'll be saving up for another pair to buy next week. If your worried about the height of these cards, you should be aware before purchasing if they'll fit or not. Great product with awesome potential.

Delivers as promised for good price
Comment:
No issues at all when lightly OCed on an NVIDEA MB. Lots of room in a full size case but it's extra height is worth double checking for smaller boxes

Does what it says on the box.
Comment:
I installed two of these on a Asus P5K MB. Worked straight away no tweaking or messing around. Check you have clearance though as the heatsinks stick out quite a bit and depending on where your DIMM sockets are they might cause a problem. I'd buy again.

Terriffic Upgrade
Comment:
I bought this memory with a new Gigabyte MB and an AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9Ghz AM3 CPU as an upgrade. The combination is great and my computer is very fast and stable even with 3 and 4 different programs running at the same time.

Good ram for the price!
Comment:
The price on this is amazing. I paid 40 and got 4gigs with the 20 mail in rebate. Fast and its performance is great. Downside? The ram is a little bit big? The handles make it take up alot of space but its easy to grap. Just make sure you clear room for it.

cooling feature makes it very tall.
Comment:
So tall that it will not fit in small form computers, eg. dell DX620
