hardCOREware "Overall, I was highly impressed by the abilities, speed, and looks of this memory kit...the OCZ SOE Urban Elite stands above its competition, and is deserving of our Editor's Choice Award."

Think Computers "As far as looks go this is probably the best looking ram out there. The urban camo really looks great, so if you have a clear side panel and want to show off your memory these are the sticks to do it with. Overall ThinkComputers give the OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 2GB Special Ops Urban Elite memory a 10 out of 10 score!"

PC Modding (Malaysia) "Overall, the PC2-6400 Special Ops Edition Urban Elite kit is a pretty impressive DDR2-800 kit from OCZ. The heatspreaders looked sleek and it would certainly add a touch of uniqueness to your rig. It was originally rated at 400MHz with 4-4-3 latencies but we had no issues running them over 500MHz. With a maximum warranted VDIMM of up to 2.3V with EVP, we managed to achieve 475MHz with 4-4-4 timings, which was not too shabby. In fact, these Urban Elite modules currently hold the fastest records in our labs and were faster than other expensive DDR2 modules we have tested here."

Pro-Clockers "The SOE Urban Elite Series is another great mid range price of ram from OCZ. Because the ram is considered to be just ?gamers? ram? I thought that it would not clock as high as it did. I was proven wrong quick fast and in a hurry. The ram aggressively jumped up to 515MHz with loosen timings...The heat shields that OCZ have been releasing since the introduction of the XTC have added some excitement in the ram besides how well they overclock."

Big Bruin "I tried to find something negative to say about this kit, and in reality I can not. It has met and exceeded my expectations, which makes it worthy of carrying the OCZ Technology name...Given the performance and impressive features/specifications, I award the OCZ Technology PC2-6400 Special Ops Edition Urban Elite 2GB dual channel kit the ratings of 'Highly Recommended' and 'Gaming Approved.'"

Overclocker Cafe " Well, the SOE Urban Elite memory units have more than just a pretty face. Capable of running a solid overclock of DDR2 914MHz at 4-4-3-15 and an eye popping DDR2 1066 with the settings loosened up to 5-5-5-15 show that beauty isn't just skin deep here. These benchmark results and the extended period of time we put each max overclock setting under 100% load to confirm stability, speak volumes for the quality of these OCZ memory modules as well as to the effectiveness of their XTC heatspreaders."

Tom's Hardware: Holiday Buyers' Guide 2006 "Memory vendor OCZ has something neat for users who intend to mod their systems to the extreme, but don't want to give up performance. The PC2-6400 Special Ops Urban Edition is available in dual channel kits and comes with a nice, military-style coating on the head spreader. It is rated at CL4-4-3-15 at DDR2-800 speeds, but should have some room for overclocking."

Virtual-Hideout "It is compact, agile, and highly motivated! It's the OCZ DDR2 PC-6400 Special Ops Edition Urban Elite memory modules which can achieve any objective. The memory performs its duties and exceeds where many other PC-6400 memory modules fail. When comparing price, performance, and its presentation, the Urban Elite memory is a unique and very worthy alternative to any other comparably priced PC-6400 DDR2 kit on the market."

Madshrimps ?This memory kit performs as advertised, but not only that, the memory adds another 20-30% of performance on top of the rated speed. I did not find one single quirk in performance or stability in 2 weeks of testing."

MVKTech "Yeah these OCZ Special Ops Edition sticks keep amazing us with their top notch performance. Having increased the memory speed to 975MHz and also upped the Core 2 Duo E6300 to 2.73GHz the bandwidth boost is just unbelievable. We notice a significant gain of about 2000MB/s from our default configuration to our heavy overclocked system. These memory sticks just blew us away. And if you are really looking for high performance DDR2 memory, then you should look any further... Just check out these limited edition series from OCZ and pick up these lovely Urban Elite version to power your system!"

Bonafide Reviews "As we can see from the benchmarks the memory performed quite well. Overclocking is very enjoyable and you can easily reach a nice 912MHz speed without loosening the timings or providing any extra juice. We played around with looser timings (5-5-5) and found that we could overclock the memory to well over 1000MHz so there is definitely room to play. Plus it not only comes with a lifetime warranty but OCZ's EVP as well."

Hardware-Review.net "After finishing the overclocking phase of this review, I knew that we had another winning memory kit on our hands from OCZ. Not only is this RAM extremely stylish, but the performance gains we received from it really should impress hardcore gamers and enthusiasts who like to squeeze every ounce of performance from their hardware."

BleedinEdge "The OCZ PC2-6400 Special Ops Edition Urban Elite DDR2 we tested today performed as we've come to expect products from OCZ will. Excellent performance at factory settings and with a little tweaking allowed our system to really perform to it's potential. Easily hitting their rated timings as high as DDR900, they continued to perform all the way to DDR960 with looser timings."

GotFrag Hardware "It does what it?s advertised to do, and it looks good doing it."

SysOpt "Solid performance, Great looks, and quality construction. Retail buyers would consider OCZ brand recognition and the quality appearance of the company's products ahead of any lesser-known, cheap looking parts."
