Does what it says, manually bump the fsb to 1066 in the bios if your mother board doesn't address it correctly during install and OC the timings a bit if you have decent air flow .........

Works as advertised: 1066Mhz without any tweak on my GA-EP45-UD3R.
I am getting another pair as soon as I can to use 8gb of memory.

I have had this in my system for some time,I have 8 GB.
The good:Very speedy system with this in my Windows Vista Ultimate machine.
The bad: I use an AMD Phenom chip and I am told by OCZ that due to the chip it will not run 8GB of memory at 1066MHz but after some talking we got the memory to run at 800MHz.Although,if I took out 4GB I could get the other 4GB to run at the 1066MHz setting.
So,be sure to read up on what memory works best with which chipsets and motherboards before making a memory purchase.
Even though I am using the 8GB at 800MHz I am still by far getting great speeds from this memory.

This new 4GB kit offers impressive timings at frequencies up to 1066MHz, i was able to reach a total clock frequency of 1162MHz,i bought two pairs of these memories and they run great.one more thing the memories are the latest ocz rev 3, the product image is wrong that was rev2.

Not sure if this is memory or motherboard, but initially it worked fine, but then system started randomly crashing. After using machual adjustment of memory timing settings in BIOS and switching from default to alternative timings system became stable again. I had to try multiple different settings to get it right with my system. I used CPU-Z program from [...] to find out the possible timing values.

This is about the best available for DDR2 in speed as well as build.
The price is unbeatable for the grade, especially now at the last stages for DDR2 rams - this speed and above is rare.
Amazon ships it after 10days though. It will help if an estimation delivery date is available to facilitate combined shipping.

Put in 8g of these about 6 months ago. No problems. As advertised, stay cool. Run everything thrown at them.

Update....lost a stick 1/4/2012

It took a long time to receive, but worth the wait. Only 1 other problem, 1 stick in 4 turned out defective.Poor c/service from OTZ, Amazon was 1st rate.

I have 4gb of this ram had it about a year got windows 7 64bit for christmas Put the ram in and computer would not start.Took them out like to never got it started after that after I got it going again. I took out my older ran and put the new ones in again didn't start got bsod took them out put the old ones in computer works fine now.ordered replacements hope they work.Amazon has a great return system couldn't be easer.Will write a new review when I get the new ram



Update got my replacements in they work great now.Amazon was great very easy to get the replacements just a few clicks of the mouse and return of the bad stuff was just about as easy. Got the bad one's on friday got replacement on the next monday

These RAMs works fine with default settings. But the system become unstable when I try to set it up with the EPP settings. Nice price for 4 GB.
