In short, this 16GB memory kit works very well in a Dell Inspiron 3250 i3 desktop computer. With the memory used in combination with a Crucial SSD drive, that cheap Inspiron 3250 is twice as fast at some operations and more than 300 times faster at other operations.I bought a Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit for an inexpensive Dell Inspiron 3250 i3 Windows 10 Pro desktop computer that I had on order through Dell's Outlet. I also bought a pair of Crucial MX300 525GB SSD (and a pair of Western Digital Blue 1TB drives) for the Inspiron 3250 (these two Crucial upgrades cost more than the price of the Outlet computer). Prior to swapping the single 4GB memory card and the stock 1TB Western Digital Blue hard drive for the two 8GB Crucial memory cards and a Crucial SSD,

The Crucial memory arrived quickly and is a perfect fit in my desktop computer. AH. DIREKT are an Amazon Market Place dealer and based on my purchase, I would definitely recommend.If you are not buying your Crucial memory directly from Crucial, then to be absolutely sure that you are getting the right module for your system, I would suggest that you go onto Crucial’s web site. There, you can have them check your computer system online, to advise you which of their memory modules, if any, are going to work with your computer. You just have to download a small program from the Crucial web site and run it. It will give you all the necessary advice as to exactly what you can fit into your computer.

Crucial is a name I've floated between for more years than I care to mention. Many years ago, you just selected the right size and speed of your RAM you needed, paid for it...and installed it. Simple! Well...kind of simple...if you knew how. As technology has marched on, DDR has turned to 2, then 3 and now DDR 4 or beyond. Motherboard technology has also marched on a pace, with more boards than you could possibly imagine. This means that your choice of memory to motherboard is a bewildering jungle to try to converse and find the right memory for your precious computer. Thankfully if you visit Crucial's website armed with the make and model of your motherboard, their website will point you in the right direction.

Been getting fed up with my 4 year old pc.After watching YouTube videos about laptops I realised I should look at how much memory my pc has because maybe I could upgrade the memory to boost performance.using Mr. Memory website and using their tool it gave me memory upgrades and I searched amazon for compatible memory sticks. Found this and within 2 days I upgraded the memory. Took out the 4gb that was in the pc for this 8gb stick from crucial who I know are big pc accessories company and what can I say. My pc feels like new I can open up programs much quicker it zips through my work flow. Thinking whether I will add another 8gb but rest assured the crucial stick does what it should.

My son needed more memory in his PC as 8Gb was not enough to run his VM's. He had a single 8Gb DIMM fitted so bought this to double it. This of course has had the effect of not just providing 16Gb of memory but also provided a speed increase due to enabling dual channel memory access. Easy to fit by anyone with a bit of reading if you do not already know what to do. The only issue for us was that it was tight getting to one of the memory retaining clamps due to the graphics card cooling but still completed within 5 minutes which included disconnecting the rear connections to enable removing the PC from a desk cupboard to lie on it's side for easy access.The hardest thing to do was before buying

I wanted to upgrade my ageing 5th gen PC, and have my pc to be more capable of video editing and running multiple apps, I already have Kingston 8GB ram installed which has been reliable since 2014, and decided to get the crucial 16gb DDR3 1600mhz. I chose this as I knew that Crucial is reliable and will work flawlessly with my Kingston fury memory. As a footnote you can mix different brands of memory as along as the speed is the same. I now have the 24GB RAM and my system is stable and performs well with Photoshop/ and video editor without any crashes or bluescreen. I have used Crucial previously in my laptops and have had many years of service without any issues.

Whilst I have a reasonable amount of practical competence I am not an electronics engineer and was more than a little apprehensive about fitting these to my 9 year old Dell. I watched and read every piece of information I could find and decided I would go for it. I followed the instructions to the letter and used tips I had found in my research, like ‘don’t use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from inside’. The old memory came out easily, the new went in without a problem having made sure they were paired correctly. Cover on, power on and away it went! The first time it was switched on it was a little slow to start up but no problems after that. The memory is recognised, all seems to be good,

Our PC running W10 ( with all updates) had 6Gb of RAM ( 2G + 4G in two slots) and I had noticed it slowing down. Most of the time the existing RAM was running at 5Gb - so not completely full. However , on removing the 2G and adding the new 8Gb, I noticed that whilst the "system drivers and processes" were still occupying about 5-6 Gb, it was clear that the rest of the RAM is being used for "cached data and code not currently being used". I had missed this use of RAM before.Things do seem to be faster now and so far the hard disc has not been at 100% - which it was before.On this basis , I would conclude that W10 should have at least 12 Gb for best performance.

The memory arrived earlier than quoted and was well packaged. All great. Installtion into desktop proved a bit tricky but managed it and the extra showed up on reports. After a couple of successful reboots suddenly had a black screen and no peripherals working. Tried a few reboots without success. Eventually found a couple of ideas from a Google search (used phone) removed the extra memory and it's working again. Not yet tried to reinstall the extra memory, probably need a bit more reseach before brave enough to try. So the delivery etc excellant but worth checking on the installation procedures. Hope this helps the next person.

I bought this to increase the RAM in an ageing ACER M3910. I selected the upgrade on the recommendation of the app on the Crucial website which scans the subject computer and also after extensive research to determine how it should be installed in the four available RAM slots in my ACER to obtain dual-channel operation. I am pleased that it was immediately recognised by the computer after installation. In conjunction with a Crucial SSD this has provided a significant increase in speed on my computer. Of course, it's early days yet, and I have no information on long-term reliability of the memory.

Bought to upgrade my desktop PC from 8Gb to 16Gb, to keep pace with modern apps and browsers that are so memory greedy.Made sure I was buying the right stuff by checking various motherboard guides and also recommended hardware suppliers. Landed on this pair of DIMM memory sticks.After they arrived, popped open my PC box, removed the old pair of 4GB DIMMS, the two new ones fitted easily, powered up and Windows recognised it had double the memory, and thats that.PC runs a bit faster but most noticeably there is almost no delay when swapping between apps on a busy toolbar.

I am not affiliated to Crucial in any way but they deserve a good recommendation. For anyone who is looking to upgrade their RAM or hard drive I would suggest a visit to Crucial's website as once you give them the details of your system they can tell you how much RAM you can upgrade to and which RAM is compatible with your system, same for the hard drives. Arrived ahead of schedule and intact. Easy to replace existing RAM and has doubled the RAM of my desktop making for a better experience. I would recommend this company and their products and sleep soundly at night doing so

Exactly what my old HP desktop needed! Checked the kind of RAM my Pavilion used and then found it on Amazon. Swapped single 2GB for (2) 4GB sticks. Installation was the easiest change I have made to this PC. It took me longer wiping the dust from the case than it did to put in the memory. Now have 16GB total and system is humming along smoother than it has since I bought it several years ago. Everything loads faster, no annoying waits to bring up another browser tab or video application. Task switching is painless. Don't know why I waited so long to do this.

I have a custom built PC that’s now 6+ yrs old and was getting a little long in the tooth. I’m not looking to sink a whole lot of money into new components at this point so I ordered 16GB of RAM (2x8) to go along with the 8gb that was already in my system. It was easy to install w/ no loose chips on the RAM cards themselves. I’ve always put Crucial RAM in my systems because I’ve never experienced an issue with their components. My system has seen a noticeable improvement in how it handles multiple tasks and transitions from one application to another.

RAM came in original packaging like new items are supposed to, but unfortunately this didn't work in my Optiplex 780 SFF. This was the RAM they had on their site saying it would work but it doesn't. The Optiplex 780 SFF only takes RAM at 1066 Mhz and 1333 Mhz. This RAM is 1600 Mhz and will not work in there. Even if the manufacture says it will down throttle, the motherboard won't except itSo the RAM get's a 5 star even though it didn't work for me. Because I'm sure it works just fine, just not in my system.
