Default Ocz Ddr2 Ram

Hope this is the right place for this. Anyways, I currently have just a gig of RAM in my PC that consists of (2) single channel 512's. My board is capable of 4GB (4 DIMMS, 1GB each) and is capable of two dual channel setups. I saw at Circuit City some OCZ DDR2 PC2-5400 dual channel RAM, 2GB. I could do great with two of these, that would give me the 4GB I want. However, I haven't been in the computer loop in a while up until now and haven't heard of OCZ before. How is their quality and reliability? I'm on a budget and online they have a sale for this dual channel 2GB RAM for $59.99 per kit. I would like to get some feedback about this before I buy some RAM. Thanks!

Quality doesn't matter, they won't work for you since your current motherboard uses DDR not DDR2.

Both answers are correct.

OCZ is a great manufacturer that has excellent warranty terms and amazing customer service.

Your board won't support DDR2 however so you'll be stuck resorting to DDR unless you upgrade. Also if you're using a 32-bit operating system the full 4GB won't be utilized due to a limitiation with the OS.

Because your current rig is fairly dated I'd personally go with a 1GB stick of value memory and then upgrade the whole shot when you're able to.
