I recently built a system for a friend of mine and of course I got him OCZ ram, I'm happy with my OCZ ram so I can recommend it to my friends with honesty. I did take the time though to do a brief review of it, I threw it into my main rig and ran it through my standard series of tests to check it out and see how it compares to the other ram I have on hand. So not only was I testing the ram for my review I was also testing it before I installed it into his system to make sure it worked, and I figure running it through a few days of testing would let me know if the ram was in good working condition or not.

So for review today I've got 2gigs of OCZ Platinum Dual Channel DDR2 PC2-6400, one of the main reasons I selected this ram was the low price point, there was other ram that was lower but I know OCZ quality and trust my systems to it. So continue on to see what I learned about this set of ram through my testing in Windows XP and Vista...
