OCZ was kind enough to send us a 4GB PC2-9200 kit a while ago, and its time we took a look at the modules.

The modules certainly look impressive!

The massive heatsinks that double as water coolers add significant heft, and you can pretty much forget about mounting four of these modules on a motherboard - on the other hand, there is sufficient heat sink area that it is doubtfull that actually water cooling the modules will have any significant benefit.

I left on the little plastic caps, and mounted the modules in our trusty Asus Formula Maximus Special Edition board - an x38 based high end board - and put one of our E6400's into it.

We must remember one thing - unless you are running a 64 bit operating system, you will not be able to take full advantage of the 4GB of memory a pair of these modules would give to your system. Depending on the motherboard, and Windows, a 32 bit Windows will most likely only see 3.1GB to 3.5GB, and the rest of the memory would be unusable.
