Cons: None
Pros: Fast, easy to install, gets the job done. Comment:
I usually use Corsair but I tried this because it was on special and had the same specs. It works great for me at the specified settings with a Q6600. If your looking to save a few bucks this can be a great deal. |

The joy of cheap high performance DDR2 memory! At 2.1V and 5-5-5-12 timing it performs flawlessly at 533MHz on a mid-range MB (basic ASUS P5Q). |

Cons: May get a bad batch. Be sure to check your RAM for errors (eg. use memtest86+).
Pros: Low latencyLooks coolCheap Comment:
The first one I bought was faulty. System kept crashing and memory test was full of errors. RMA'd and second set worked fine at 2.1V. I would still recommend, because of low price and tight timings. |

Cons: The memory is prety tall so your better to check if you have a tower heatsink
Pros: Great performance for the price Comment:
I bought this for a performance computer it work flawlessly up to now. I have no complain and the heatsink is solid and works well. |

Pros: - Fast timings- Low price- good looking Comment:
Very good buy and very low price for 4GB of low latency memory and so far the only time I did MIR with Patriot I got my check back (2 months later of course)The only drawback with theses RAM I could see would be with the heigth of their heatsink depending on the CPU heatsink you use. |

Cons: Some bad batches that can come with one dead stick.
Pros: I now have 8GB of this Ram, I noticed a big improvement from 4GB to 8GB using Windows Vista 64-bit, my startup time decreased importantly. Everything loads much faster. It's now 100% smooth. Money well spent, worth it.This ram has no "advantage" over Mushkin, G.Skill etc. This is good average ram. Using stock, 800mhz 4-4-4-12 at 2.1v Comment:
Some batches can come with one DOA stick, if that happens, you must send the whole package (4GBs) back (RMA) and wait about a total of 7 days.I've been using my other 4GB kit for about 10 months now, (exact same kit). Was always stable.I've paid $62.00 no MIR.You can find 39.00 G.Skill, a better choice! This review was modfied by poster @ 04-08-09 05:55 AM |

Cons: Large Heatsinks
Pros: Stable with great timings Comment:
I have them running as advertised 4-4-4-12. I tried overclocking them a bit with those timings at 2.1 volts and it seems good for now. I will loosen up the timings a bit if I want to OC more. |

Rating: Review Date: 03/26/09 |
Cons: Requires a 64bit OS in order to make full use of the 4GB. This is due to the nature of 32bit memory allocation addresses.
Pros: Reliable, Affordable, And room to spare Comment:
I still haven't gotten my Rebate, but all in all I am happy with what I've received for my money. I was a Kingston ValueRAM addict for a while, but these (3 months later) are performing great. |

Cons: Heatsink design.
Pros: Good overclock. Comment:
Capable of running 450mhz at recommended 2.1v for 4ghz E8400 overclock. Good packaging and mail in rebate instructions. I should of thought about the heatsink length on this ram before purchase, won't fit with the largest cpu heatsinks. Best to buy smaller heatsink memory products from Patriot. Loses two stars for heatsink design, everything else is stellar. This review was modfied by poster @ 03-21-09 04:13 PM |

Cons: None.
Pros: Easy to install. Click in it and you're ready to roll. 35$ after MIR, a real cheap deal. Comment:
Very low latency; a definite plus. It brought my RAM total up to 6GB. A perfect 5.9 Vista score for memory. The extra memory helped improve the performance of my computer. Great deal! |

Pros: Cheap CAS4.Heat spreaders cool well.Prime95 stable at 4-4-4-12 2.1V 4x2GB (8GB total) on a P5Q Deluxe. Comment:
Can't really beat this price. 2x2GB ran stable at 1066 cas5 on my p5q dlx. Haven't overclocked the 4x2GB config yet. |

Cons: MIR, high voltage req.
Pros: HS works well, easy to OC, good timing Comment:
Not bad for the price I paid for these, although they need some juice to get the lower timing. The heat from higher voltage is nicely compensated by the HS. May not fit well with some large CPU HS though. |

Cons: None really. I would prefer less than 2.1v
Pros: Cheap for a 2x2 GB kitGood timings. Comment:
This kit works perfectly. I run it a spec (4-4-4-12 2.1v). No problem. Vista 32bits sees 3581 MB : Fair enough. GTA IV runs smoother. |

Cons: MIR is slow.
Pros: Works great on my ASUS P5Q Pro motherboard and Vista64. Comment:
Great set of memory that works with zero problems on my system (ASUS P5Q Pro motherboard, Win Vista 64-bit and Intel Core2Duo E8400). Nice big heatsinks, no complaints. Recommended.Only negative is the usual mail-in-rebate nonsense. 4+ weeks and still waiting for my rebate - which is not at all unusual. |

Pros: Very Fast,Durable,Cool looking Comment:
Only problem I had with this was Vista gave this a 4.9 or something like that out of 5.9. I have 4GB intalled in my computer. I complain about this because I don't like that number thats all haha. Overall this is a great price and great RAM. I really do love it. My computer runs perfect and I know its because of this RAM. I never notice a slowdown. |

Cons: none so far
Pros: Fast timings, great price Comment:
4-4-4-12 timings are great and with the 4 Gigs of Ram speed is greatly improved on a 64 bit OS. These sticks also look awesome and are easy to clean with compressed air. |
Good RAM, it's nice a quick and stays quite cool even when working hard. However, the heatsinks on them are a little too large and tend to get in the way of larger CPU heatsinks.
