Blazin fast. 03/08/2009
This review is from: Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PVS24G8500ELKN
Pros:
Blazing fast with no errors. I'm not an OCer so I will not comment on it's OC capabilities. As for PnP usage it's very fast and durable memory. I had to manually set the timings on my motherboard to 5 5 5 15. As usual Patriot using a high voltage of 2.1 - 2.2. Make sure your mobo can handle those voltages before purchasing or you won't POST (generally fixed with a BIOS flash.)
Cons:
The heat spreaders are pretty tall about half an inch. If you have a large aftermarket CPU fan chances are it won't fit under it.
Overall Review:
75$ for 4Gigs of quality memory. Jump on this deal while memory is still cheap. This is the second time I have used Patriot and have had 2 sticks of working memory. My previous pair lasted 3 years with 0 issues and I did OC with those slightly.
