OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Gold Edition 4GB Dual Channel
Cons: None.

Pros: Very good price for the quality and performance.4gbs and works great in my motherboard.
Comment:
I think I may have purchased the last set from the Langley NCIX *phew* When I saw this price was really eager to purchase it. I bought it to become part of my first set. My computer runs smooth so I am guessing the ram is doing its job well.If it ever comes in stock again be sure to grab some.

OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Gold Edition 4GB Dual Channel
Cons:not so sturdy as it looks

Pros:good value compared to their price
Comment:
Upon running Memory diagnostics after exactly year of use, it shows failure in least once in 3 passe on both sticks on Stride6 and WINVC(originally, all pass). My other PC had corsair for over 2years, but it's still working hard with no failures. Although these sticks look sturdy, don't be fooled by their looks. I can definitely feel the difference between these guys and higher end sticks. not to mention their performance testings show their true level. However, for their price range of 40bucks a stick, definitely a good deal compared to low end sticks. In summary, good for their price, but definitely not a top notch quality. I'd rather get corsair than these imperfect factory made sticks..

Cons:price, high latency

Pros:speed, brand, warranty
Comment:
I was just looking for the lowest cost 4GB set at 1066, and this fit the bill at the time. It was either this or the G.Skill 4GB kit, but I choose this because if the need to RMA ever arises, an RMA centre exists within Canada.

OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Gold Edition 4GB Dual Channel
Cons:None

Pros:Inexpensive
Comment:
Purchased on sale for $55 for a budget build. Not much to say other than everything is working great and it was immediately recognized on boot up. No excess heat with integrated heat sinks. Seems to be great so far. Don't plan on overclocking so can't comment on stability.

Its OCZ, that should be enough for you to know its good. these are the cheapest ddr2-1066 4gb kits ive seen, and the fact they're from ocz and have passive coolers on them is just icing on the cake, very pleased with purchase

Cons:none

Pros:Lifetime warranty, decent timings and cheap.
Comment:
I stand behind OCz because they have never let me down. I have RMAed 2 sets of ram in the past and was sent 2 new sets promptly with very little hassle. I bought this Ram for the price, I wanted 5-5-5 ram but was either too expensive or not in stock. At 2.1V I currently have this ram at 920Mhz 5-5-5-15-20-1T, Linpack stable for 10 runs, pretty happy with that :).
