floydkid 8/24/2010 1:49:01 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5wishfull thinking Pros: The heat sinks work as specified Cons: refuses to work at 1066, only the default 800mhz, i flashed my motherboard bio but it didnt do anything. blue screens after 3mins running even at correct timing and voltage. Other Thoughts: this is a side note, but i chose this ram rather then other ram that cost less, for the futuremark bundle. and despite trying to enter the code dozens of times it still says the number is already active. leading me to beleive someone somewhere along the way opened the box and re sealed it.... newegg ive bought thousands of dollars of stuff from ya and im getting burnt on software keys?

Damian Fick 8/15/2010 10:53:57 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Garbage... Pros: They lasted a couple weeks... Cons: As my previous review stated the heat-sinks fell off which i fixed. When i got em the test was good no problems then i started getting blue-screens a couple days ago with the error MEMORY_MANAGEMENT so i did another test, failed in 1 min in... Other Thoughts: I will never ever get patriot memory again, always G.Skill every memory chip Ive bought from them is still ticking to this day, and they have awesome customer support. Cant believe i wasted $100 on this garbage... Manufacturer Response: Dear Damian Fick, We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Blarg 8/3/2010 10:05:57 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Good Memory Pros: It works, it doesn't go boom. Cons: Doesn't show up as the full 4 in 32-bit OS's (though I knew that already) Doesn't make me food. Other Thoughts: Be nice to it and the heatsinks won't fall off. Mine didn't. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Damian Fick 7/29/2010 1:35:08 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Good so far Pros: They look cool, Work at 1066 speeds AFTER you set it up in your BIOS. Cons: Timings are stupid, 2-2-3-5??? What the heck? My motherboard cannot go any lower then 3 (Reading these from the instructions that came with it) So i set it to 5-5-5-15 which i believe what it was supposed to be have not had any problems so far. Out of the box the heat spreader broke off... OUT OF THE BOX! Luckily i have adhesive strips and i put them back on but still this does not excuse Patriot for not putting them on correctly. Other Thoughts: Used with a ASRock 775 Motherboard. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Horzor 7/28/2010 10:19:30 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Good after replacing defective ones Pros: Quick for DDR2. The added futuremark key is nice if you want to do some benchmarking Cons: Installed and within a week both sticks had random drop outs. Ran TestMem+86 and found both sticks had massive errors. Contacted Patriot, sent in my bad sticks and they sent me brand new ones pre-tested in a new box (along with another futuremark key) RMA process could have been a little better, but the emails they send you are sufficient enough. Other Thoughts: There's other options out there, but these look really nice and are pretty quick providing you don't get any defective units. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Steve 7/20/2010 2:49:32 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great memory Pros: This memory is blazing fast and just what I needed to run windows 7 64 bit. With the mail in rebate this is some of the cheapest memory around, not to mention the futuremark 3D Vantage that comes with it. I've used patriot for some time now and they impress me still. Product quality is amazing in my opinion. Heat spreaders feel solid and look good.

N/A 7/7/2010 5:28:04 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Works great Pros: Very easy to install (as expected) and fast RAM for DDR2. I am very pleased to bad I can only do 800 MHz though because I have a socket AM2 processor, and only 3.25 because of XP. Curse you 32 bit OS!!!!!!!!!! Cons: None. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 6/18/2010 10:03:53 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5old man, gray hair Pros: Ram expectations are as follows: 1. Plug in and it works at stated ratings 2. No blue screens 3. No freezes This is all I ask, and this ram has delivered the goods. Detected initially at DDR800--Adjusted in Bios to 1066. Runs fine, and meets those three requirements outlined above. Passed memtest 86 and heavy ram testing in prime95 Cons: None so far Other Thoughts: I purchased this ram for a super cheap AMD system I built to both use up old parts and, well, cause I wanted to. The most expensive part of this system is the ram, and I have no regrets. I have previously built out computers with all sorts of memory problems and was hesitant to try out this ram noting the poor ratings, but it worked out well. System specs are as follows: 1. Biostar A780L micro motherboard 2. AMD Athlon x 630 CPU 3. Thermaltake 500w PSU 4. EVGA 9500 GSO videocard 5. Tagan computer case 6. 500GB WD Caviar green HD 7. Asus DVD player (not even a recorder, just a player) 8. Patriot 4GB (2x2) 1066 Ram Total cost just a tad under $300 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you?
