Customer Reviews

Works great, plug and play, quick shipping
I have a Dell Dimension 2400 and it had (dare I admit it?) only 256 MB of RAM. When I bought it a couple of years ago, the speed seemed great; but it began to seem sluggish compared to my "work" computers. When I realized how little RAM I had, I went looking for a RAM upgrade. By using a large commercial search engine whose name begins with "G," I found out what types would fit my computer with 2 clicks (including the one on "G" telling it to "go.")

I had never done anything "under the hood" of a computer before (even though I am an engineer -- mechanical type!). Putting in the memory board was a snap. When I plugged the computer back in and started it up, no action was required -- it just recognized and began using the additional RAM. The difference in speed was immediate and dramatic. Programs run much faster, it's very noticeable.

No problem with shipping. Shipped from Amazon, came quickly, no damage.

I couldn't be happier with this product.

[Update on 2-Sep-2009:] I just bought a second one of these memory boards to fill the second memory slot on my computer (the previous board was 256MB.) It also works perfectly. The difference in speed is not as dramatic as the first one (258MB to 1.25GB) but it's noticeably faster. Great product.

Easy upgrade
I was concerned that my computer would work after adding 1Gb of memory due to it having 512MB of memory on board. It came configured with two Kingston 256MB sticks of ValueRam memory. I removed the stick of 256MB out of slot one and placed it into slot three and put the 1GB stick into slot one. My computer booted-up perfectly and it is running much better. It wasn't the cheapest memory I found but, I want to avoid any conflicts due to mixing brands(caused by differences in timing). When your case is open it would be an excellent time to clean the dust out of it. I clean my case every six months, it's surprising how much dust accumulates inside a computer.

Perfect to smoothly run Vista
That's what I needed to full run Vista on my 2yr old HP desktop. My PC was on 3Ghz and 512 mb RAM (NOW 1.5 GB!!!!).

The installation was very easy: Only open the case and place on empty slot.
