Like a fine wine, installing 4GB of RAM requires an acquired taste. Not everyone likes wine, and not everyone needs 4GB of RAM. However, with Vista and the future looking to change that, many are considering a move on up. Today we are taking a look at a kit that's not only priced right, but has some overclocking headroom as well.

So, you've decided the time has come for a 4GB upgrade and you have no idea where to look. Well, we've taken a look at two 4GB kits in the past already, each a stark contrast to the other. Super Talent's PC2-6400 kit didn't overclock at -all-, but had decent performance as you'd expect for the given frequency. Then we had Mushkin's XP2-8500 kit, which is the fastest 2x2GB kit on the market.

It sells for $700 though, so it's overall draw is quite limited. How about a kit that falls somewhere in the middle? OCZ wasn't as quick as others with a 4GB kit, which is due to the fact that they wanted to make sure they released a kit that had good overclocking ability and impressed their customers. Have they done it with their PC2-6400 Platinum? We will soon find out. What's a "good" price for a 4GB kit nowadays?

Just a few months ago, you'd expect to pay no less than $400, but times have changed, for the better. You can now get a good kit for just under $300, which is where this kit falls at. It currently retails for $279.99 at one popular e-tailer, which falls right below the rest of the competition.
