 Works great, plug and play, quick shipping July 26, 2007

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 January 20, 2007

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.
Good RAM = Stable Machine November 1, 2007

RAM chip quality is one of the key components that contributes to stable system performance. Kingston has always offered the highest-quality RAM components -- I won't use anything else.
I used to work in a lab where RAM upgrades were routine. One of the managers thought he would save his project team some money by using much cheaper memory chips (by Crucial). All of a sudden most of the machines started getting the blue screen of death. I performed some testing, performing the exact same operations on the same machine using A) Crucial memory and B) Kingston memory. In all tests when using Crucial memory, the system got the blue screen. In all tests when using Kingston memory, the system was stable.
I trust Kingston and won't use anything else.

Value Ram For My Budget PC March 14, 2007

I have an eMachines T3104 and decided to upgrade to Windows Vista Premium. I had already changed the CPU to a full AMD Athlon, got a AGP eGeforce 6200 LE graphic card, 1 GB Ram (Kingston), a 480 watt power supply but after the upgrade my memory usage was 1.1 GB. This caused some lag on some tasks. I decided to max out the Ram and got the 2GB. I'm glad I did. This budget machine now has fast boot up and runs Windows Vista with Aeros with no issues. It maybe overkill to upgrade instead of waiting and buying a preinstalled new system but I don't want a new system until the Quad cores are established and Windows Vista 64-bit is more mature. Had the memory in place for over a month and it's still going.UPDATE: 7/03/2007--Still going strong without any problems!!! Still recommend this product.
Perfect to smoothly run Vista February 25, 2007

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.
