Pros: Good price, look cool, decent overclocking
Cons: Loose timings

I bought these sticks because they were on massive sale with a rebate and I wanted to replace my nasty PQI Turbo sticks. The 1066mhz speed is great for OC'ing because you can be a little more lenient with your FSB ratio.
They are compatible with the nForce profiler system, but I don't really use that because I want more control over the performance. They overclock fairly well and seem to have decent performance despite the weak timings.
Note: I do have to RMA my set because one stick went bad, but I felt that it could have partially been my fault.

Pros: Great looking RAM. Solid running in WinXP or Vista. Good timmings.
Cons: Could use some more variants in SLI profiles

Great product. OCZ is great brand and solid performance. I'm running on CPU 0% SLI profile to give a little better performance, without (yet) overclocking my CPU. I got the RAM in May '07 and considering getting another set to make 4gb of RAM in my system.

Pros: its fast
Cons: not free

ok i have the platnium editions of this ram but its the same thing. i have had this set up to 1160mhz on 2.3v. at rated settings i can drop the voltage down to 2.1 and still have it be stable. at the moment im runnging them at 800mhz at 4-3-3-8 1T at 1.8V. very flexable and i love them. looking to get the 4gb set soon.
