Once you've seen one memory package, you've seen them all. Our PDC22G5300LLK arrived in the standard Patriot Memory blister pack.



Apart from the actually memory sticks themselves, there are only a few differences that separates this kit and my PC4000 ELK kit. You can find the differences on the other side of the package.



On this package, Patriot Memory has printed the information specific to the 2GB PC2-5300LLK.



The two sticks can easily be removed from the blister package and we can clearly see from the package that Patriot memory has opted for black heat spreaders.



Apart from the color, the heatsinks used by Patriot Memory are identical....right down to the identification sticker occupying a quarter of the heatsink.



The oversized label gives us the details on the speed, size and timing of the kit. There is also a bar code and perhaps a product number. By removing the sticker you immediately void the warranty.

Given that the heatsinks are identical to the ones used in my other review, we already know that the heatsinks are two separate pieces and they adhere to the chips via a thermal tape.



The advantage of the clip and hinge-less design means national convection between the chips will allow for dissipation of heat.
