Crucial Technology 8GB Kit (4GBx2), 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 PC3-12800,

Pulled the 4 GB sticks out and popped these 8 GB sticks into the MB memory slots (make sure you get slot 0 and 1 when using only 2 sticks) to upgrade an older Win 10 machine. No fuss, no muss. Windows just whined at me that I had upgraded the memory when I powered up. HINT: Pay a few extra bucks for the Crucial RAM. Some of the horror reviews I read about generic RAM made me really glad I went with Crucial!FYI They have been sabotaging Win 10 to force people onto Win 11 upgrades, subscriptions, etc. When I bought this PC 4 GB ran great. Then it got horribly slow booting and loading Apps. So I went to 8 GB (salvaged from another PC I was upgrading) which lasted about 1 year before it got slow again. Maxed at 16GB now. No clue how long that will keep the PC running smooth. If you are running 4GB, bite the bullet and go direct to 16GB. Apps are becoming real memory hogs. Firefox Mozilla (as with most browsers) consumes 6 GB all by itself. FYI - Opera wastes much less memory. When RAM is full windows starts spooling data and code to Hard Disk which is horribly slow!

Worked as expected in an older Dell mid tower rig. It happens to be running Linux on one SSD and Windows on another.

Holy crap, why did I wait so long! I have an only X79 mobo and for so little money I was able to max out that system and it made a huge difference. Especially with messing around with AI stuff.

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, I used the Windows built-in benchmarking tool (this tool is built into Windows 7 and Windows 10 - Windows System Assessment Tool) to help determine the performance change due to the Crucial replacement parts. I repeated the test with both Windows 7 Pro and Windows 10 Pro. In short, the Crucial memory alone more than doubled both the computer's memory performance (2.13 times faster) and the integrated video memory throughput due to the computer now being able to use dual channel memory access with slightly higher clocked memory in both Windows 10 Pro and Windows 7 Pro. The Crucial SSD drive was 3.65 times faster at sequential read access than the WD Blue hard drive, and 340.68 times faster at random read than the WD Blue hard drive in Windows 10 Pro (only 316.53 times faster in Windows 7 Pro). So, the Crucial upgrades, even though they more than doubled the value of the Dell Inspiron 3250 i3 computer, significantly increased the potential performance of the computer.Summary details of the testing: From an administrator Windows command line I executed a command similar to the following to run the Windows System Assessment Tool's benchmark for each test:winsat formal -restart -v -xml c:\winstatresultsWindows10-4GB.xmlOriginal single Hynix 4GB 12800U-11-13-A1 memory card and WD Blue hard drive (Win 10 Pro):System memory shared as video memory: 1999.76MBMemory Performance 10658.95 MB/sVideo Memory Throughput 2993.58 MB/sDisk Sequential 64.0 Read 135.49 MB/s 7.0Disk Random 16.0 Read 2.05 MB/s 4.2 (this appears to be a fluke, see below)Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and WD Blue hard drive (Win 10 Pro):System memory shared as video memory: 8143.76MBMemory Performance 22783.16 MB/sVideo Memory Throughput 6355.53 MB/sDisk Sequential 64.0 Read 136.20 MB/s 7.0Disk Random 16.0 Read 1.28 MB/s 3.6Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and Crucial SSD (cloned HD to SSD, Win 10 Pro):System memory shared as video memory: 8143.76MBMemory Performance 22635.85 MB/sVideo Memory Throughput 6392.51 MB/sDisk Sequential 64.0 Read 497.43 MB/s 8.1Disk Random 16.0 Read 436.07 MB/s 8.2Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and new WD Blue 1TB hard drive (cloned SSD to new WD HD, Win 10 Pro):System memory shared as video memory: 8143.76MBMemory Performance 21998.35 MB/sVideo Memory Throughput 5329.78 MB/sDisk Sequential 64.0 Read 142.87 MB/s 7.1Disk Random 16.0 Read 1.45 MB/s 3.9---Original single Hynix 4GB 12800U-11-13-A1 memory card and new WD Blue hard drive (Win 7 Pro):System memory shared as video memory: 1632MBMemory Performance 11141.00 MB/sVideo Memory Throughput 4613.53 MB/sDisk Sequential 64.0 Read 139.70 MB/s 7.1Disk Random 16.0 Read 1.52 MB/s 4.0Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and new WD Blue 1TB hard drive (fresh install of Win 7 Pro):System memory shared as video memory: 1632MBMemory Performance 23564.36 MB/sVideo Memory Throughput 9988.00 MB/sDisk Sequential 64.0 Read 139.15 MB/s 7.1Disk Random 16.0 Read 1.47 MB/s 3.9Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and Crucial SSD (cloned HD to SSD, Win 7 Pro):System memory shared as video memory: 1632MBMemory Performance 23140.27 MB/sVideo Memory Throughput 9807.77 MB/sDisk Sequential 64.0 Read 501.99 MB/s 7.9Disk Random 16.0 Read 465.30 MB/s 7.9

Maximized my aging desktop ram and it provided a nice boost in ability to run photo editing software applications!

While this will work in both 1.35v and 1.5v motherboards the product page isn't exactly clear on the fact that this is DDR3L (Low Voltage, 1.35v). I think the product description should be more clear.I'm currently testing my replacement set. The first kit I got worked great for about 3 days, and even passed 4 passes of memtest86. Then after waking from sleep 10 minutes before I was going to return the PC to it's owner, it did nothing but blue screen. Another quick Memtest86 run just turned the screen red with thousands of errors within seconds.UPDATE: After 2 days of running memtest86, Prime95, several sleep cycles, and reboots, I'm pretty confident that the replacement RAM is OK. This isn't the first time I've had problems with Crucial RAM, but these things can happen with RAM from any manufacturer.These went into a Dell Inspiron 660s, which unfortunately only supports running them at 1333MHz even though the original RAM was also 1600MHz. I went with the low density (chips on both sides) version because I read that there would be less potential compatibility issues and better performance.

The fit was perfect ! It did the job perfectly’

Adding RAM (memory) to any PC is a quick way of upgrading your performance and speed. Crucial makes some of the best RAM around. Installed this in my little HP Prodesk and noted immediate performance upgrade. No issues with incompatibility or setup. This was a great price for this amount of RAM!
