Advantages: Super Fast
Disadvantages: A bit expencive for an average system!

I purchased the OCZ 2gb (2 x 1gb) Platinum ram when i revamped my PC. What a difference it makes! I have never been able to open so many applications, and switch between them so quickly.

...running games in Windows Vista, there's really no need to have 4GB of memory; even the most demanding game you can run won't use more than 2GB RAM.

Not only it is fast, and so brilliant for games of all sorts, it's also cheap, so it's great for those with more basic computer needs as well. From running to instances of Eve Online on one computer to running multiple applications ... Read review
