Works fine with Windows XP

Reviewed By: on 5/10/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: Works with ALL operating systems!

Cons: Most motherboards default to 1.8V for Vdimm. These are spec'd at 2.1V, so you have to manually change this in BIOS.

Other Thoughts: To the reviewer below, make sure you're running these at 2.1V. You'll probably have stability problems with Vista as well if you don't.

Good memory, nice price

Reviewed By: DeX on 9/25/2007

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Excellent memory for XP/Vista based systems.

Cons: Absence of markers or serials that would allow to identify which memory goes with its pair if they get mixed.

Other Thoughts: As above, memory is great if installed properly. If you mix the pairs by any chance, you system won't boot. And the fact that there are no marks or serial number to match them makes them very hard to distinguish. You would need to mix and match until your system works.

Plug-n-Play

Reviewed By: Denholm on 7/29/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: After plugging in the memory the motherboard immediately recognized it and configured it to run as advertised. 1.8V running at 800MHZ.

Cons: I have observed none.

Other Thoughts: Don't let the wording, "Vista Upgrade" fool you. I used this memory with XP Pro SP3 with absolutely no problems. This hardware is very sturdy and I definitely recommend it for anyone out to purchase every-day use memory.

*NOTE* Check your motherboard's manufacturer's website for documentation as to what memory types are supported and verified stable with your motherboard! It will help you avoid many heart-aches.

Ocz Vista upgrade 2GB

Reviewed By: Brad on 7/21/2009

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Like I said in the last post. They work.

Cons: Just not in my computer.

Other Thoughts: I thank you folks at OCZ for wishing to work with me. But I did try to change the BIOS. But my Dell will not let me. My friend has a Cyber Cafe, where he fixes Computers. He will find somebody who can use these ram sticks. So it's all good. No harm, no foul. Memory is a touchy thing. My friend put them in one of his Computers, and it would not even fire up. So I then took them back to my house, used the UBCD to memtest them. And, Lo, and behold. They worked from the boot CD.
The bottom line is this,,, They work great, for probably a bunch of systems.
And you got to thank OCZ for being prompt with offering help.

Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are always willing to work with our customers to find a fix or replace their memory with a product that will work for them. We are happy that you are understanding about the situation, and want to thank you for your kind words.
Cheers

Introduction

Highlights

	OCZ Vista Upgrade Series DDR2 SDRAM The new PC2-6400 Vista Upgrade edition is optimized with perfect compatibility for users transitioning from Microsoft Windows XP to Vista. The OCZ Vista Upgrade series has gone through stringent testing with the full spectrum of Vista versions to deliver a perfect balance of memory performance and stability across the full range of applications.
	XTC Heatspreaders XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreaders optimize the thermal management of memory modules by promoting greater airflow by means of micro-convection throughout what is usually the dead air space inside conventional heatspreaders. Thus build-up of heat is avoided and thermal dissipation of the memory components is offloaded more efficiently through the honeycomb design to maintain mechanical stability.
	DDR2 800 DDR2 800 delivers incredible performance and platform compatibility with up to 6.4GB/s memory bandwidth for the ultimate work and gaming power!
