OCZ Special Ops PC3-10666 2x2GB Review
APH Networks posted a review on the OCZ Special Ops PC3-10666 2x2GB memory

Oh, what a difference two years make. When we reviewed the OCZ Special Ops Urban Elite PC2-6400 2x1GB in December 2006, DDR2 was just gaining momentum, costs as much as performance DDR3 costs now, and the revolutionary first wave of Core 2 Duos 6-series for desktops and 7-series for mobile were still fresh in the hands of die-hard enthusiasts. I was lucky enough to be an owner of a then-amazing Core 2 Duo T7400 based laptop, and a significantly overclocked E6300, in which I still have to this day. In those days, I was enjoying a relatively care-free life in high school, compared to my current uber intense engineering schedule. It's kind of funny how I'm still the Editor-in-Chief at APH Network despite all this -- I guess this provides me with some sort of relief and entertainment. Heck, I lived in another city towards the end of 2006. Do I miss the days? To be honest, I sort of do. As I run the last stretch and my university first term pulls to an end with less than two weeks before finals, and daily prayers of, "Dear God, I need a miracle", and piling up tons of review products before I actually write about them, here's one that separates itself from the rest: the OCZ Special Ops PC3-10666 2x2GB. While the OCZ Special Ops is a pair of value gaming DDR3 RAM, being 'value-oriented' does not mean it has to 'look' value-oriented. With a cool looking heatsink following the tradition of the original, comes with OCZ's excellent warranty program, and a retail price of approximately $130 USD for 2x2GB at press time, it's definitely something would not miss your search. Let's pop open the package and see how the OCZ Special Ops PC3-10666 2x2GB dual channel kit steps up.

The IronKey protects against hostile networks, and includes utilities for storing passwords, and clean browsing software. In effect, the IronKey is your very own bastion of portable security, meant to survive whatever you throw at it and keep your data out of prying hands without too much interference.
