Strengths: Compact, still have 2 slots available for another 4GB on my motherboard.
Weakness: None detected yet.
This is an excellent priced quality product. It had some very nice rebates as well ! The heat sink on it is low, which means that it does not get in the way of my motherboard's oversized fan.

Strengths: Lifetime warranty, 4GB of goodness, heatspreaders keep things cool.
Weakness: Not really a weakness, but OCZ website (along with retailer) showed/described copper color heatspreaders. My memory came with black heatspreaders. Not a real big deal, but might matter to some.
OCZ memory keeps me coming back for more. Great price encouraged me to buy. Runs at spec without errors in memtest. Lifetime warranty from OCZ gives me peace of mind (which I've never had to use, knock on wood). Entirely ompatible with my P35 chipset motherboard. Just make sure you can adjust your voltages in the BIOS. Some may prefer CAS4 memory, but at this price you can't go wrong. Besides, who lives for benchmarks?

Strengths: 800 MHz is fast enough next clock rating is much more expensive products.
Weakness: --
4GB in 2 slots, do You need any more? If You need more You can still have 2 more slots on motherboards or if You bought well maybe You have 8 slot mobo so You can make a monster:)

Not sure why the "Vista Upgrade Edition" moniker is necessary b/c this RAM runs fast in vista, xp, & 2000. If your specs call for this type of RAM, the OS won't matter. Solid design w/ heat spreaders added. Make sure you have active cooling in your case.

I have been using this for over 90 days, and it runs so stable with just the factory timing without any problem. Overall it's good value memory and cheap after rebate, run solid and stable with my MSI P5 MB without OC. Will recommend to others for the price and quality.
Strengths: booted up without issues
2x2 for 4 gigs
Weakness: somewhat loose timings
bought for future build for my wife, so I only ran for a little while. Ran @4,4,4,12 2t 800mhz , 5,5,5,15 1t 800mhz and 5,5,5,15 2t @ 1000mhz passed memtest and no crashes running on my asus p5n32-e sli plus. I plan to run @ 800mhz on wifes comp when built so no futher testing done
Strengths: I Paid $62.21/- for 2 GB from Frys after $30 mail in rebate and tax. So price is great.
Over clocks very easily upto DDR21200.
Copper heat spreader dissipated heat fast.
Weakness: Not the fastest RAM
I got 2 sets of this RAM (8GB total) for my ABIT IP35-E LGA Intel P35 Motherboard. I have an Intel E4300 overcloed to 3.05GHz.
Strengths: 4gb of memory at a very reasonable price. It looks great with the copper heat spreader.
Weakness: None
OCZ makes great memory at reasonable price. They are easy to overclock with a little voltage increase from BIOS. The copper heat spreader is a bonus and it really look great on the motherboard with my copper cpu heatsink. I highly recommended to all.
Strengths: Reasonably priced. Great customer service from OCZ.
Weakness: SPD programmed at 1.8V DDR2-667 speed only. Slow timing specs. Have to bump up RAM voltage to 2.0V and manually specify timing to use advertised speed (not every motherboard support these options).
A good RAM upgrade option if you upgraded to Vista and just need more memory. You can also use full 4GB capacity if later switching to 64bit platform (32bit can only use ~3GB).
fits very well and its of good quality..the heatsink is low and does not touch the motherboard ..price wise its really worth buying ..have to do some changes in BIOS and it does not selects as 800Mhz
I had 4GB(2x2GB PQI) and had some problems with finding good timing parameters to run them stable at 800Mhz. I couldn't run it stable at 833Mhz. I recommend it for general use.
Strengths: Fast memory, execellent price for a set of 4gb DDR2 800
Weakness: The shiny look is a turnoff, other then that on a performance level, unremarkable
Was shopping for a new computer and came across this ram, thought to myself this is too good of a deal for the quality of ram I was getting. Looked at other reviews of the ram and was surprised at the positive feedback. Recommended
Weakness: Your Bios may require adjustment to reach the 800 MHZ speed
Excellent looking memory at a very affordable price and my computer recognized it easily, but at a 667MHZ speed at 1.8 volts. You have to work your BIOS to reach higher speeds, since automatically may computer only saw the 667 MHZ speed. The rebate rules makes it difficult to get the actual money since there are so many rules. Still great memory for a great price!
I have not had any problem running theses for 24 hrs and using all different kinds of memory hungry apps. Would definitely buy again for my other computers at home.
Satisfying Purchase
Strengths: Compact, still have 2 slots available for another 4GB on my motherboard.
