OCZ Blade Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Desktop Memory Model OCZ2B10664GK

Pros: very overclockable, set to 1066 right out of the box, no issues

Cons: why is this a required field

Pros: One of the sticks worked.

Cons: One of the sticks was DOA.

Other Thoughts: Seems I'm another of the many who got a defective product here. It makes me sad that the only PC parts store around is highly overpriced and I must resort to a lengthy RMA for a working item. In the mean time, I have to work with less effective equipment.

Pros: Well, the one stick I can get to work runs great.

Cons: Not exactly sure what the problem is, have an extended memory test running right now. Put in both sticks in a new build, posted, checked the voltages and what not, started installing windows 7, and bam blue screen. Restart it, bluescreen again during set up, at a different part. Pop out both sticks and pop in a 1 gb stick of DDR2 1066 I had in another computer. Everything worked fine. After windows installed I put one of these sticks back in, got a bluescreen about 45 seconds after logging on. Put the other one in and the computer ran fine for several hours. Probably will have to RMA, unless I let this test run for like 3 days and it doesn't find anything.

Other Thoughts: Some times you just get a bad stick... A bit depressing because I have never gotten a bad stick from OCZ.

Pros: All is good with the memory, timing is great and was plugs and play.

Cons: Runs a bit warm

Other Thoughts: My rebate was denied because I guess newegg has listed it 4 days early as having a rebate. When I went to the rebate form it only allowed me to select the 17th as a start date. However I got them on the 13th and i bought them with the rebate form then.....

Pros: Nice ram for the money

Cons: had to put in 2nd and 4th slot wich could be motherboard..but just kinda puzzled me all my other ram will go in correct slots.

Pros: Was running at 1066 5-4-4-13, 2T @2.1v in a 780i without even really trying.

Lower profile than Reaper design.

OCZ customer service

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Sticker on modules states 2.2v. Newegg and OCZ websites sate 2.1v

Will update as I get more time to play with these modules.
