Advantages: Excellent value, 2GB, matched memory
Disadvantages: Not for overclockers.

...of running in dual channel mode for extra performance provided you have a motherboard that supports this. The memory runs at 667MHZ which is good but you can get faster, however the performance advantage gained over DDR2 667 is minimal so unless you have a large budget this package makes the most sense. This set of memory runs at 1.8volts, this is important to know as some motherboards run at higher voltages and may fry your memory so make sure you do some research before purchasing. The only disadvantage to this RAM is there are no heatsinks so if you plan on overclocking, it may be worth spending more for higher speed RAM. Installing the RAM is easy enough; if you have never done it before do not be put off as even I can do it! First you will need to locate the memory slots on your motherboard; these are the long slots with clips on either... Read review
