Geil Black Dragon 2gb for £50

This is so cheap for DDR2 800, 4-4-4-12, I am thinking of buying some this week, is there any reason why not to?

The OCZ is cheaper and has the same timings (if you ignore tRAS, doesn't make any difference anyway) and personally the OCZ RMA system wins it for me.

What's the difference between the black dragon and the other PC2 6400 ULL stuff Geil do?

Dunno. Tho the Black Dragon doesn't have heatsinks.

Likewise, I couldn't see any discernable difference except the maximum rated volts. The LL stuff being the higher rating.

How well will these work if you were to buy 2 sets to be used for a total of 4GB? Are there any repercussions on modern systems when doing this? I ask because I am looking to upgrade my mobo and CPU soon but don't want to shell out for 4GB right away. Instead I'll pick up another 2GB in the next few months after the upgrade. I've not really stayed up-to-date with the recent developments in the RAM scene, hence my question

from 3x 1GB sticks to 4x 1GB sticks, you'll most likely need to raise the voltage on the northbridge if you go for an Intel System.
