    Any one know if this is cpmpatible with macbook? Also is this better than the kingston memory kit 2 above. Both have a great price. I better jump on these prices. Never heard of OCZ. Does the platinum mean they are made with platinum or better quality?

    I've used OCZ -- back in the bad old days of expensive memory when I could only afford a gigabyte of the "copper" tier of OCZ memory. Now I'm using 4 GB of Kingston 5300 "Value RAM." Come to think of it, for the $125 I paid for the two extra gigs I did install I could have ditched my 2 GB of my RAM for the price of 4 GB of premium RAM.

    4-15 I think. Lower, means the quicker time interval it takes to fetch.

    well, yeah, the lower number means better time, but are the first 3 numbers more important, or the last one?

    I have a really really old computer with PC-133, can someone recommend some cheap compatible memory for this? The PC-133 seems to cost more than my computer to upgrade and I do need to keep this old computer. Thanks.

    This is a good price. The price of memory keeps going down. I wish the 2GB chips would drop in price to a reasonable level. I need a good (2x2GB) kit.

    Wow, that's not a bad price for some decent memory. Pretty good for anyone looking to build a new pc. Just couple it with the dual core chip from the other day.

    4GB in a 32 bit machine is stupid. the OS reserves 1gb of address space for mapping to hardware; you only ever get about 3gb of memory for your troubles. Don't get 4gb unless you are running a 64 bit bus.

    OCZ is OK memory. I have it in my 2 home-build systems. It's fast and stable, but I do not overclock. Time to expand my memory now!

    I have these with an Asus P5NE-SLI and have trouble getting them stable at 800MHz unless setting the voltage above 2.1V, which gets damn hot. I finally (sadly) ended up setting them to 667MHz so my case wouldn't get so hot.

    I'd recommend any other brand that can do 800MHz without being clocked so high.
