Anyone use this stuff? just wanted to see if i could get any feedback to see if its any good , was going to buy some , ive seen 4GB for £109 Inc Vat.

My mobo only supports DDR2 , and i got it last week , unless i save for another mobo with ddr3.

backed by lifetime warranty and equipped with the unique Ripjaw heatsinks.

They are good, but if you can find them the OCZ Blade Low Voltage series are the best DDR2 you can buy.

You've also got to ask yourself if it's really worth paying that much money for DDR2 which is becoming old-school very quickly. The real-world speed difference between ddr2 800MHz and ddr2 1200MHz is pretty much zero.

Thanks for your reply gurusan , i didnt know that there wasnt much diffrence from 800Mhz to 1200Mhz , i guess for the time being ill stick with my 8gigs of OCZ 800Mhz

If you already have 8GB of 800MHz RAM then absolutely stick with it.

The best 1200mhz ddr2 ram I found were the Trident Series. They're cl5 and run at 1.8v.

Expensive though.
