My interest in photography means my pro camera puts out a 76Mb file for each RAW image (digital negative not a jpeg). To process the RAW image, editing software like Photoshop is needed. The Photoshop software takes a good 35 seconds on average to load, with another few seconds per image. On my original 8Gb SODIMM system it was a bit longer as pagefile swapping was going on. I upgraded to 16Gb last year, which helped, and now all four memory sockets are filled with this additional 16Gb. On my XPS8930 i5 the installation was simple. If you are new to this, the memory slots have a flick switch at each end. push them outwards, slip the memory module into them, and press down quite firmly,the switches on each slot should both be closed with the pressure, you may hear a click from each. Make sure the card is the correct way around. Also check your computer manual to make sure you have bought the right speed and number of pins, laptop memory has a different pin arrangement to desktops. In performance, the FIRST time I run Photoshop, there is no difference - the first load depends on my hard disk delivering the data, and it is a bottleneck. However, once you have run Photoshop (and any other software) and maybe closed it to do something else, the SECOND run of the software loads really fast. I will stop typing this now, and run Photoshop twice, and give you the load times - 1st run = 36 sec. closed photoshop and re started it - 2nd run = 4 sec. Microsoft Word 2016 first run = 6 sec. second run = 2 sec. So as you can see, with such a large reserve of RAM available, your computer responds quickly on the second loading of software. This is because most of the code for your software remains in RAM memory even after you close it, so the second run just requires some basic elements to be re-loaded from hard disk, while the bulk of the software is already loaded into fast RAM memory. To overcome the load speed bottleneck issue I still have, I have bought from Amazon a Sandisk 1Tb 3D NAND SSD (Solid State Drive) This will be used to clone my slow hard disk, and the load times for the first load, thereafter, should be close to the second load times I am seeing now. The times for the Second load, with my new SSD installed are likely to be pretty much instant. A hard disk reads data out into RAM at low speeds due to the fragmentation and consequential seek times. Photoshop, for example, consists of hundreds of small files all needing to be 'assembled' in order, and loaded into RAM. Each one of these small files could be fragmented on the hard drive due to the daft way Windows has always stored data on them. Defragmentation helps, but two days after you do that, it needs to be done again as many of your favourite apps have been loaded and fragmented again. SSD drives have no moving parts so can access data instantly. The typical speed of a hard disk is to read data at around 20 - 30 megabytes per second (depending on brand, size, and rotation speed). The SATA SSD drives read at 340 megabytes per second! The newer M.2 SSD Drives can hit over 3000 megabytes per second!. Be careful, only quite recent motherboards have an M.2 slot on them - but mostly anything less than 3 years old will have SATA 3 (SATA III) connections for a SATA SSD. The point I am making is that you should not expect miracles if you ONLY upgrade your RAM memory. I have spent in all, around 170 pounds, the memory 56 and the rest on the drive, a drive caddy and a cable. The computer will run like a rocket when the drive gets here later this week, Look at reviews on SSD drives, and look at CLONING your hard drive, so you don't have to install windows and all your stuff manually. Once you have cloned it you can unplug your main hard drive, tell the computer bios to use the SSC as the 'boot' drive. (access by tapping F2 on the keyboard on my Dell as it starts up). It is quite simple. Oh yes, if you do this, look at youtube 'how to install an SSD' and download cloning software - Macrium Reflect - it is free to dowload and use the home version. Get the RAM but get an SSD too! You'll think your computer has changed from a Ford Fiesta into a Porsch!

PERFECT!!! If you have an HP Pavillion TP01-xxx desktop compuiter; let it be known that this Crucial DR4-2666 MH CL19 DESKTOP MEMORY CT8G4DFRA266 can be installed fairly quickly without having to take anything apart inside. It is a simple matter of putting an anti-static wristband on either wrist; connect the alligator clip to a metal part somewhere within reach of what you are doing. Remove the side cover and if this is not your first time doing this, you should have the computer back together with all your peripherals; mouse; keyboard any USB connectors; HDMI or other video connector to your monitor and be up and running in under 15 minutes. VERY simple.EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE: Installation notes:a.DON'T FORGET THE ANTI-STATIC WRIST STRAP. Also,b. to be safe and not zap your new or old memory module; your motherboard or worse everything inside the casing rendering your PC completely useless:c. even with the wrist band on, to be on the safe side discharge any residual static electricty from yourself; ensure to touch some metal on the pc casing surface before touching anything inside the computer that has a microchip; and that the alligator clip is secure.d. MAKE SURE you are not using a screwdriver or anything else that might fall inside the casing and land on the motherboard or other sensitive component that has a magnetized end. A screwdriver with a magnetized end for example, won't be useful for anything except snagging a hard to get tiny screw or something. Then, except for getting that little screw that magnetized screwdriver end in this example could degauss, or demagnetize something you don't want degaused or demagnetized. As a result, you could very well find yourself holding 600 dollars or so worth of garbage instead of the computer you set out to upgrade. You DO want to upgrade, nopt down grade or degrade altogether, right? Okay. So careful not to have any magnets too close by within your work area while doing your upgrade.Finally, an anti-static wristband if you don't already know can be purchased for under 10 dollars or not much more than 5 or 6 dollars. That small extra amount of money could be the difference between being up and running quickly or without a PC. Don't start the uprade without one. If you are new to this or just haven't done an upgrade for awhile, don't forget someone told you so. I hope you see this and I hope this was helpful to you.

The packaging:I ordered the 32GB kit which consisted of 2x16GB DDR4-2666 UDIMM sticks. They come in plastic packaging to keep them safe for transport. The packaging is able to be opened by hand which is a huge positive for me as quite often things like this come in plastic packaging which has no discernible opening and which must be opened by either knife or scissors through a layer of plastic then prised apart. Not so with this. Just insert your finger into the packaging and then open away. Excellent. The only improvement they could make to this would be for some more environmentally sound packaging.The memory itself:Please, please, please, check what RAM your motherboard and CPU supports before ordering it.If you do that, then I have no doubt that it will just work straight out of the box. Crucial does a great job of providing a compatibility checker on it's own website which I would highly recommend checking out before ordering any RAM.The installation:This couldn't be more simpler. Locate the correct RAM slots on your motherboard (this is going to vary by motherboard supplier), pull on the tabs to open up the slots and then click in the RAM sticks into each slot. If you are installing 2 RAM sticks into 2 slots, this is fairly straight forward. If you have 4 slots like I did, then make sure you're populating the correct two slots - again, check the manual of your motherboard for details here. If you already had a RAM stick in any of the slots that you're using, take it out before installing any RAM. There is a correct orientation of the RAM stick, if you look at the bottom of the stick, you'll notice there is a notch in it, which is slightly off centre. Use this notch to line up the RAM stick into the RAM slot and press it in. It can feel quite firm, so don't be scared, it should just be able to press in with a click by firmly pressing down on both sides of the RAM stick.Conclusion:If you want/need more RAM, this is a great, low cost option for adding some extra memory into your system. You'll notice a lot of improvement if you're coming from a lot less RAM (I went from 8GB to 32GB). The sorts of improvements you can expect are better performance of multi tasking which is absolutely essential for someone like me who has many processes running at the same time. Also, if you're a Chrome Tab lover, you can't get enough RAM.

After buying my Omen desktop gaming PC for serious flight sims with a n RTX 2070 graphics card there was just one thing wrong with it. Only 8GB of RAM and that just wasn't going to cut it. HP had confirmed that my warranty would not be invalidated by upgrading the RAM . After viewing RAM compatibility sites and checking it was DDR 4 I went with this ( 2 times 16) . Viewing You Tube videos it looked easy enough to put in the 2 new RAM cards. Even the glass side door of the Omen PC was as simple as pushing a side button and it popped out.Flipping up the end clips of the existing RAM card it easily popped out and then it was just a question of disconnecting power and slotting the new cards in and reconnecting power.I will admit it took me 5 times but what I needed to ensure is that the RAM cards were fully in and that meant that the end clips fully looked into the end card cut outs.Once I had done this and booted up the PC a message came up saying BIOS ………. and enter and I thought here we go …… but even without pressing enter it went through 3- 4 sec of re booting and bang there was my home screen.Speed ( even without gaming is very very much faster and I'm very pleased) and of course saving myself 60 quid installation. Very happy.

I am thoroughly impressed with Crucial. I have an HP ENVY 750-514 computer that I wanted to max out the RAM. Live chat with HP told me that 16G was the max my computer could handle. Running an 8G and a 4G I went through a different supplier. Unfortunately what they sent was not what was shown and they did not have the correct RAM. They refunded me quicker than I expected. Thank you. Next I stumbled upon the Crucial web site and utilized their scan to find what my system needed and hopefully would have it in stock. According to the scan my computer could handle 32G of ram. I emailed Crucial about this and the reply was that with changing technology, "the manufacturer's original specifications (including memory type,speed, and maximum capacity) eventually become outdated." Well I took a chance and to my amazement, my system is handling 32G like a pro.I highly recommend Crucial for all your computer needs. The scan tool is very informative, memory, storage, chipset, etc.Thank you Crucial. You gained another loyal customer.

The product was easy and simple to install in my gaming pc. For the price, its great since ddr4 memory has been the common standard for memory nowadays and prices are constantly going up and down. Without sink headers on the memory is fine for memory at least in my POV. Comes with ddr4 2666mhz speeds if your motherboard supports those speeds or you can overclock the memory to get those speeds. In my case I have to stick with 2133mhz speeds because my Intel motherboard does not support those speeds, however, when I upgrade my motherboard and CPU in the future I can take advantage of those speeds. Although it adds an extra 8gb of ram to my setup with pre-installed 8gb of ram,it also doubles the speed in my memory setup thanks to dual channel memory (where two memory modules work together to spit the workload and improve latency and speeds). The Crucial memory worked well with the pre-installed Micron technology memory. Now in 2x(8gb) setup. Overall the product is excellent for the price, performance, and quallity.

Not being a techie, I managed to "add" this to my old computer. The speed changed dramatically. I had 2 4GB memory chips installed with an open slot in between. After placing this 16GB chip in the middle, I noticed that the speed went down!? I googled my problem: why my computer is slow by adding a faster memory? or something like that.One result was to put the 2 4GB chips next to each other and then add the 8GB (that was the example given).I,however, further thought why not inserting the 16GB memory in the "first" slot, and then the other two in slots #2, and #3 right after that. It was only then that computer was running really efficiently, fast browsing, and fast program openings.I don't think the computer accesses the two 4GB memory chips anytime soon. But, I will keep them, just in case.Of course, Crucial's short video helped me a lot.

I purchased a 2x4GB set to add on to the 4GB my PC was already running (AMD A8 9600 + ASRock AB350 Pro4), and the process took about 5 minutes. Half of that was getting my case turned around so I could open it. Computer fired right up without issue and registered the new RAM, giving me 12GB. All 3 sticks seem to be playing well together even though the new sticks are 2400s and the old stick is a 2133 (all Crucials). Windows Task Manager says my RAM's running at 1866, which is a bit troubling, but I haven't gotten around to tweaking anything in UEFI yet. I don't do overclocks and I don't need speed so much as just capacity, so performance builders may be concerned about this detail,but anyone just running in a home/business environment most likely won't notice anything except that the PC's running smoother (and cooler) now.

It made my Dell 8930 i3 desktop now with 16GB instead the original 8GB run noticeably faster. YouTube videos taught me how to open the Dell case and flip out the power supply. The original 8GB was found to be in slot 2 with white clips. I made sure that the desktop was unplugged and I was standing was on a plastic chair mat. I inserted the new Crucial memory board into matching slot 4 with white clips. After a little pushing on the memory board both white clips in slot 4 seated properly. When the Win10 OS booted up it reported that it found more memory and asked me to click continue which I did. Afterward I did a system query and all was in order.Even though I will never need the 2666 chip speed with my cheaper and slower i3 processor I think it was money very well spent just to get the Crucial brand.

I bought a desktop that came with SSD drive and 8gb memory I noticed the startup time can take awhile to be ready and running and computer start to slow down as i opened up more application. I have a company surface pro at work so i know the huge difference in the startup time and how responsible the laptop with the 16gb memory capacity. Since my desktop is relatively new, so i know it is not the software that slows down my computer rather it is the memory that was tight up to handle different application. After reading much reviews, I have decided to give crucial memory stick a try since they always provide great value product. After 5 month of use, my desktop has been running perfect and quickly.I am happy with my purchase and would recommend you to consider it if you want to upgrade your memory.

I installed these on my new computer today. It came with 8 GB of ddr4 3200 mhz RAM which is frankly on the low side today. I'm not a huge gamer although I do play sometimes and I work on graphic design and some limited video, so having a good amount of RAM is good. I splurged for 32 GB so I don't have to upgrade for the future. This 16 GB crucial RAM chip was the most inexpensive I found from a well reviewed source. I have used crucial before without a problem. I bought two sticks and the only problem I had is that one of the stick was bent. I had some difficulty getting it to click into the slot but in the end it went in. They both were great and I clocked them working at 3200 mhz. So no problem.Although I had to take a star for the flaw in one of the sticks. They should not arrive with a bend.

Makes my emulators run even faster as if I put an I9 chip in which I have an I7 8th generation Dell which emulates pretty well for even 3D era emulators except a few slight stutters here and there when loading things new.PCEM17 is more CPU intensive then graphics as it emulates different bios of computers up to Pentium Overdrive MMX series and once you get into that range it generally sucks your (Host) CPU dry unless you do Win 95 or earlier images. Otherwise you get a lot of stuttering especially during video playback of older games on a Windows 98SE image.HOWEVER now I can emulate the Overdrives MMX series and not drop below 99 percent.When you drop below 85 you get a lot of sound stutterings such as in Carmen Sandiego when too many characters walk around the screen.

Boosted the 3670 from 16 (2x8) to 32 (2x16), doing my first ever work on a computer. Was super simple, just needed to depress cards deep enough to make latches auto close.Had issues not getting cards deep enough in but they'd still latch. When powered on, Dell would give orange flashing power light. Rechecked cards, pushed in deeper and latches naturally closed at right depth; pressure on top, both sides equally.Got these to improved trading, having multiple platforms open with windows open world give killer lag. Will update next weekend after a week's use.Computer seems much faster loading browsers, apps, etc already but it's too creepy to judge properly.Update 1 - wow, huge huge difference in computer.Many tabs open, many apps open, no lag. It's great.

Just because this isn’t a gaming brand or advertised as gaming ram, it is spot on, you could get faster clock rates rather than 2666. But this does for any gaming needs. Will do for any software needs as long as you have enough ram for the game / programs. I’ve played COD Warzone, GTAV, rocket league and many others. All with good loading times.Perfect for a budget gaming pc.Perfect for a high end gaming pc.Perfect for an office pc.Perfect for any pc that requires DDR4.Don’t waste your money on “high end” brands because you’re paying for the name.I say this because I previously bought hyperX ram for an older build and I cannot notice a difference between that ram and this crucial ram.Yet I paid 1/3 the price this time for 2x the amount.

I actually ordered Samsung modules and then later on changed my mind due to the price differences. Though I wasn't quite sure yet I moved ahead with Crucial. Purchased a pair of 16GB module (2666MHz) making my computer even more usable. CPU-Z showed these modules were manufactured by the end of April, 2020 so they are pretty new. I never intended to OC anything on my PC so these modules were exactly what I was looking for.I ran PassMark MemTest on my i7-8700 PC and it took around six hours to complete the test (4 pass). No error whatsoever. I used Micron's memory in the past and I was confident yet I decided to run the test regardless just to be on the safe side. It came out as it was expected.Good memory at a very reasonable price point.
