Not sure about 4600, but was successfully used in 8300 system (From here))

Got the PDP Patriot 1 GB (2x512) $119 AR at Fry's in Anaheim, CA. Tried on two different systems and compared against a pair of 128MB PC3200 OEM DELL RAM that came with a Dell Dimension 8300. The results:

Dell Dimension 8300 (Intel 875)

OEM RAM (uses Mosel chips)
Memtest - 2372
Sandra 04 - 4378/4387

PDP RAM (uses Samsung chips)
Memtest - 2424
Sandra 04 - 4562/4567

ABIT AN7 (Nvidia nForce2)

OEM RAM 2.5v timings 2.5-3-2
Memtest - 1479
Sandra 04 - 3030/2842

PDP RAM 2.5v timings 3-3-3
Memtest - 1449
Sandra 04 - 3035/2838

The PDP is a hair faster than the OEM RAM. If the RAM timings for the OEM RAM were slowed to equal the timing on the PDP on the AN7 the PDP would probably show the same percentage improvement as on the i875. The PDP's SPD programming is tighter than the OEM RAM. I tried upping the voltage all the way to 2.9v to see if I can lower any of the PDP timings, but no go. I haven't tried overclocking via FSB. I don't intend to.

Looks like a great deal for non-overclockers looking for JDEC PC3200 3-3-3-8 spec'd RAM!

The above link refers to the Dual Channel kit from Patriot. It's is the sam DDR as this stick (2x)
 
Let's hope this works in my 4600. My wife will ring my neck if I fork out this much money and it doesn't.

Fingers crossed.
 
FYI - This is from the rebate thread. Hope it's just a glitch. 🙁

OMG!
 
Rebate offer states "Limit 1 Per Customer/Name/Address ". Anybody interpret this to mean if you buy a pair of 512MB sticks you only get a rebate for 1 of the two?
