Patriot 2GB Dual Channel Kit PC3200

I don't know how good of a deal this is but I just paid about $250 for OCZ RAM at Newegg. Discuss!

Nice. Too bad I just bought two gigs of PQI Turbo..

the ocz platinum memory is faster than this stuff

ocz plat = 2-3-2-5
this patriot = 2-3-3-6

I don't think you quite get this "Hot Deals" thing. You see... you are supposed to post a hot deal, and... well... that's just about it.

Slightly better timings does not make up for the extra $50 for the OCZ.

IMO this is a very good price for 2gbs of low latency ram!

Well you know that is how it would be in a perfect world, but there is always some crazy that says that a post is not HOT even though it is or some people post anything on sale and consider it HOT and we need to refute it. So in short we do "discuss" but people don't normally tell us to in the post.

P.S. Thanks for the post Zim.

Oh yeah here's the link for the Newegg comparison of what I believe to be the aforementioned 2 sets of ram. And this weekend the OCZ is 221.38 Shp'd AR.
So, $20 more for slightly better timings is something to consider. Oh yeah and who knows what the actual numbers are because ZZF and NewEgg seem to disagree. But the reviews kinda indicate that the OCZ is right on target. Consider!!!

I got this RAM and have no problems (I paid $7 more due to shipping cost at Outpost). Excellent price for very solid RAM!

 

[Navid]

Would this be compatible with ASUS P4P800 deluxe motherboard?

 

[Samus]

probably.

besides, if anything, patriot consistantly has better quality control than ocz. sure, ocz makes great products, but i've had to rma multiple sets of ram to them or the store (newegg) because they didn't run at specified timing stable at default voltage.

when you install ocz in say, a dell, and they need 2.7 or even 2.8v to be stable at the SPD timings (which are what is locked as a setting on OEM systems) well, your screwed with unstable useless memory. you can't adjust any of these programmed SPD settings on a OEM Dell or anything for that matter.

in otherwords, patriot=more compatible

Pretty good deal actually!

Not too shabby! I wouldn't expect to hit more than 215-220MHz OC tho, and most 2GB OCZ kits can hit more. Still good for those who run a mem divider!

Not bad, but for $10.00 more you can have cas2,3,2,5,1T

ZZF shipping make this only about $10.00 more.
