OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ3P16004GK

Pros: Was recognized by my Asus P5E3 Premium board instantly at correct speed and timings. Worked just fine in Vista Ultimate 64-bit. No BSODs like others have reported.

Cons: It was $25 more expensive when I bought it just 2 weeks ago, but that's to be expected. Prices for technological products always drop, and DDR3 is still in the early-adoption phase.

Overall Review: Just install SP1 immediately after installing Vista. You should have no problems at all.

Pros: DDR3, high speed, low latency. This memory performed pretty well when it worked.

Cons: *See 1 for 8*

Only 1 good stick in my first 8 and only 2 good sticks in my last 4.

After waiting a few more weeks and fighting their tech support, my latest 2 sets arrived (sticks 9-12). Of these 4 sticks, 1 will not post, 1 BSODs and shows errors in memtest and 2 come out clean in memtest. That brings my total to 3 good sticks out of 12 total.

I have tested all 4 stick (individually) multiple times and every time the results are the same. I've also tried the bad sticks at more forgiving speeds and timings to no avail. I should also say that I do have two more sticks of Corsair that work just fine in my system.

Honestly, I understand that things can go wrong. However, not only have they passed the normal rate, they have also passed the fluke rate. Given this, you'd think that maybe they would be apologetic and would rush to fix my issue ASAP. Nope. The last time I had to fight with them for a week just to get an RMA#. Then I had to pay for shipping and wait two more weeks.

Overall Review: There are other companies that I have liked better after RMAing one of their products because of how well they responded. It really makes a difference when you know for sure that a company will support their product and will do whatever they can to help you.

Both I and everyone I know will never buy anything from OCZ again based on how poorly their performance has been.

If you are thinking of buying this memory ask yourself, 'Do you feel lucky?'

Well do you?
