Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC22G6400LLK

Pros: The Pros:

Very speed friendly - chose to run them at agressive 4-4-4-12 settings at PC2 6400 settings or 5-5-5-15 settings at PC2 8500 settings. I am running 4 sticks (4GB total) at 475Mhz (950Mhz fsb) on a Gigabyte P35 board with an C2D E6320 cpu at 5-5-5-15 settings. Very solid performer.

Very nice packaging - runs cool to the touch and at 2.2 volts

Most of the sticks include the legendary Micron D9 chips - Micron D9GMH(B6-3), Micron D9DQW(BT-37E), and Micron D9DQT(BT-3)chips although a few do have the Elpida AG-6E-E. Just hope for the best.

Cons: The Cons:

I think that the PC2 8500 memory is dropping in price so it may pose a challenge in pricing. This is still very solid memory and a bargain with a good rebate option. Heck, save the $$ and get 4 sticks (4GB) to run your new Vista Ultimate 64-bit install like I did.

Overall Review: For a Vista system these days - 4 GBs is almost a given. Don't skimp on memory - well worth the investment with a well known brand like Patriot.

Pros: None. The company stinks

Cons: My Gigabyte p35-ds4 has post problems with them. I set the volts up to the 2.2 and 4-4-4-12 still no better. Switched them out for Crucial sticks and now no problems. Crucial Rocks

Overall Review: Never got an e mail from them about my rebate (bought crucial and got an e mail about my rebate from them right away)Filled out a RMA form from Patriot due to a bad stick (memtest86+) Never heard back from them.
