    Patriot Dual Channel 2GB DDR 500 (PC 4000) Review - Final Thoughts


    (Page 5 of 5 )

    With all of the memory out there on the market, it’s sometimes hard to pick the right one for your rig.  If you are looking for a good performance 2 GB kit with intentions of overclocking your system, these sticks are the real deal.  I couldn’t even push my system far enough to make the memory miss a step, but what I was able to pull out of it was quite impressive.  Let’s run through the highs and lows:

    Highs:

    • Overclocking friendly and easy
    • 500 MHz (PC4000) gives lots of headroom for overclocking PC3200 systems
    • Dual channel performance
    • Integrated heat spreaders
    • Great timings
    • Good price ($155 after $35 rebate, at the time of this writing)

    Lows:

    • I couldn’t find any!

    I would have to say, for a premium 2gb kit, this is an incredible value.  Even without the rebate, at $190 the price is still quite competitive. This is serious ram, for serious enthusiasts.  I would be remiss if I didn’t give this memory a perfect 10, and give it the Dev Hardware Recommended award.

    I’d like to thank the people at Patriot for sending us this fine memory for review.  If you’d like more information about this memory, or any of Patriot’s other products, visit their website at http://www.patriotmem.com.
