Big Bruin "OCZ Technology never fails to impress. The Gold series is designed for gamers, while the Platinum series is designed for enthusiasts. A similar market because both groups demand high performance. If you are looking to make the jump to a DDR3 based system, the OCZ Technology PC3-10666 Gold Edition 2GB DDR3 Kit shouldn't fail to impress you. What impressed me the most was being able to overclock my processor from 2.1GHz to 2.67GHz while running the CPU in sync with this memory."

Pro-Clockers "This kit goes to show us the direction which DDR3 will be taking us. Hiding behind the XTC shields are chips that can hit almost 1500MHz when it is all said and done. And chances are these levels can be surpassed in the future with the higher performing X38 chipset motherboards being released and the X48 looming in the near future. And we do like this particular kit as it took everything we threw at it."

Virtual-Hideout "What is probably the memory's best feature is that it can also perform flawlessly with 8-8-8 within the memory kit's specified warranty voltage of 1.9 volts. And the memory kit continues to impress by operating at 1460MHz with 9-9-9 timings while still using the 1.9 volts. This means that even if you purchase this kit based on the idea of keeping within a budget, there is some extra power hidden underneath the heat spreaders. The important thing is that the OCZ DDR3-1333 Gold Edition 2GB Dual Channel memory kit is quite capable of holding its own despite being considered a budget memory kit."

Sharky Extreme "We selected the OCZ PC3-10666 Gold 2x1GB specifically because it represents one of the lowest-cost, name brand DDR3 kits available. It regularly sells in the $70-$80 range, and with consistent manufacturer rebates from OCZ, your end price could end up being closer to $40-$50 for 2GB of DDR3. Either way, the OCZ DDR3-1333 kit is a great deal and since DDR3-1333 is one of the most attractive speeds for new Intel platform owners, being able to purchase a low-cost OCZ kit is a real bonus."

Tweakers (Netherlands): Best Buy Guide 2009 Mainstream and High-End gaming System: "Because the chosen 1333MHz DIMMs work well, there is sufficient space for the CPU to overclock."
