My 3 year old Acer PC was running Vista in 32 bit mode with only 2Gb of RAM on board.In all honesty it was doing a great job in it current state: Vista was pretty stable & fast; most of my graphic-intensive games and number-crunching applications such as Unreal Tournament 2004 & Excel 2007 respectively, coped well with a relatively basic PC.However, I very much wanted to upgrade my operating system to the all-singing-all-dancing Windows 7 Premium Edition; as well as upgrading my RAM given that physical memory is so relatively cheap these days. I guess I could have just bought a completely new PC with 7 and more memory already installed. That would have been the simpler route,

I bought 2x1GB memory cards to speed up my old DELL 5150. I installed them easily and there is a distinct performance improvement. Now I'll buy some more to get the full 4GB on my Windows XP machine. Excellent value, fast delivery.I was careful to read the manual to make sure that these cards were the right spec (and not buy a card that had a higher spec than the computer could benefit from i.e. If you buy (say) 800MHz they won't run faster than 533MHz in my old machine). Also, if you install a new pair of cards with the old ones, the old ones might be 400MHz (mine were) - then Windows XP runs ALL the memory at the lowest speed. (These memory cards are 667MHz,

I ordered 2 of these memory sticks for my computer. A older Dell XPS420 which was supplied with a mere 2gigs of ram in 2 x 1gig modules and having previously installed a geforce 8600gtx was a bit disapointed when my Battlefield 3 arrived and played like a dog. so one sunday morning installed another new graphics card (Asus GeForce 550Ti OC also ordered from Amazon) new power supply (Storm 750W) and the 2 new memory modules (I am fortunate to have 4 memory slots so put the new memory into the paired slots 1 and 2 and although only got a 32 bit operating system left the 2 x 1gig in the paired slots 3 and 4) put everything back together and switched on .....fingers crossed.......

I bought this product for a computer build I worked on with the Intel's Atom processor. I couldn't be happier with all the memory it has for such a dirt cheap price. At first I thought it wasn't goin to be enough since there are other sticks with 4 gigs and even 8 gigs. I'm running Windows 7 RC on the desktop and I can't seem to get less than 500 megs of free space. The whole system uses around 600-700 and it reserves a space for when you put the computer in standby with another 600-700 megs. I'm always left with free space and the little desktop just zips around everything. The small processor is probably holding this back with it's limitations. But if you need an upgrade on your computer but don't know how much,

I have this RAM as 2 x 2GB in conjuction with a Q9550 Quad Core processor, and a motherboard capable of up to 1600MHz FSB. The RAM works perfectly well.Just as a quick word to prospective buyers out there: Buy RAM whose speed is in a 1:1 ratio with the processor's native clock speed. In this case, my processor's bus speed is 1333MHz = 4 x 333MHz. DDR2 RAM is DUAL CHANNEL, so the final speed of 667MHz comes from 2 x 333MHz. It is the 333MHz speeds that you need to compare.If you use a 1:1 ratio, you will generally get the best performance from the combination of your processor, motherboard and memory. It's not an absolute rule, but it's the first line of thinking I do.So, moral is do your research,

Upgrading from 2GB on a windows 7 32bit desktop PC (Intel core duo 2.66Mhz) as I started to do more video and picture editing which seemed to be slowing it despite using Spybot and CCleaner regularly. I found as it's a 32bit it could only usefully use 4Gb maximum so I resisted the initial temptation to put in bigger memory, despite having 4 available slots and only 2 used. Putting in 2 x 1Gb has worked really well.I used a memory selector tool to make sure I bought the right memory.It was a quick job - power off, open box, insert 2 x 1Gb memory carefully, close box and power up. Memory was detected automatically and now has 3.25Gb usable.Slightly strange was it was posted in two separate packages - but delivery was free anyway so not an issue for me,

4 star for the retailer(elite computers).I ordered this one and got delivered in two days.i got the same product which I have been ordered.but it didn't worked in my motherboard.already I was using Hynix ddr2 667mhz 1gb ram 1.8v 5:5:5 latency,240 unbuffered dimm .when I installed this one in second slot it ,there is no output to my monitor ,mouse nd keyboard.i don't know where I failed to choose right the one or there is fault in this one.then I called the retailer explained my story,he said that he will give replacement and asked for address.but as the shop is in sp road,bangalore.i went there directly got it replaced with Hynix ddr2 666mhz 2gb ram no more queries and it worked.i checked there

I bought this RAM module to speed up a painfully slow Dell desktop PC which had a factory installed pitiful 1GB of RAM. This combined with Vista was a bad combination as everything took so long to load.An upgrade to a total of 4GB (the maximum possible, 2x2GB) proved to be the best move for a more enjoyable computing experience.The installation is fairly straightforward if one is not too worried to remove the PCI Express graphics card (it's all in the manual) in order to get to memory bank 1.A good ebay price for this (new/unused) memory module seems to be around the £20 mark (as of March 2010). This is definitely money well spent.

Have a Compaq HP SR2125UK, running Vista 32bit. Have been considering for a while upgrading the memory and possibly switching to Windows 7 64bit. So as part of that progression bought 4 x 1GB DDR2 RAM, as that is the maximum this system can handle.The memory came in two padded envelopes, containing two individually packaged 1GB DIMM's, each containing instructions on how to install the memory.Took about 10 minutes to install, even with my limited mobility. Re-attached wires I had unplugged, closed up the case powered up the system. Worked first time of asking, no problems, that's all you can ask really.

This was a very interesting product, as when i first saw it i was a bit wary because it was an electronic item that was so fragile, however i was very much mistaken as when it arrived it came in triple bubble wrapping and then that was placed inside a huge box.The actual company were very professional as it was dispatched on time and arrived within 3 days and the communication was excellent, they replied straight away to my email were very helpful.Overall i was very satisfied with this company and would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for cheap, affordable and very reliable memory.

Bought this as an attempt to speed up my mothers VERY slow DELL Dimension 3100.This ran Windows XP media centre / 512MB ram 2.8GHz processor, and anything took forever. The computer was almost unuseable.Now it's very different after fitting 2GB ram. It's at least 10 times faster, boots quickly. It's a different computer.Why so bad though with 512MB?Well the PC has a HP printer driver (notorious ram hogger) on it and anti-virus and probably background programs checking for updates, so there is almost no memory left for normal operation.A small outlay has produced a massive improvement..Pleased!

I purchased two of these ram back on December 12, 2011 , "I took the juice out of it", it was installed in a computer used by all the family, 24 hrs around the clock literally speaking, one of the ram failed last year (2016), the other one still working. I'll say that the failure was caused after we had a storm with lightning in our area; this incident tells me how good is this product ; I still have one of them working sharp and nice. I intend to purchase another RAM stick to replace the one that was damaged by a spike or voltage overload. I strongly recommend Kingston RAM line of product.

At first I didn't receive the item. So amazon sent me another one.I install it in my less than a year old table PC and it just flew. My 'new' table PC was playing up. I bought it in December 2007 with 160GB HD, 512MB RAM, Vista, etc. It is an ACER Aspire T180-R97z (I don't recommend it). The PC started to slow down almost immediately.I contacted the company and they said I would need to upgrade the memory to minimum 2GB RAM. I did so and my PC is now wonderfully fast and reliable. I recommend this memory to anyone who has similar computer problems.

I perform maintenance and upgrades to systems for my clients. When I needed 2 GB of memory to max out a system at 3 GB, I bought Kingston sticks. I could have opted to use cheap, no-name memory; it is all the same, right?Perhaps. But I'll spend the extra dime on Kingston memory every time. It has always worked for me, and that is all I can ask of any product.I do not have time to fool around with returns and/or troubleshoot errors due to flaky memory, and, I suspect, neither do you. If you start with Kingston memory, you can be sure it waill last.

It arrived in perfect conditions (Spain); the packaging was more than perfect as always for amazon's products. It works fine, but as it is an old memory (ddr2) you must be sure that your (old) computer will be able to recognise it. In my case it only recognised 3gb of memory even after updating the BIOS to the latest version, and the vendor sais it supports 4gb; the thing is that usually this old computers leave around 1gb of memory for the PCI card(s). Everything else fine, Kingston under my point of view is the best RAM mannufacturer.
