Technology ValueRAM 512 MB Desktop Memory Single (Not a kit) DDR 266 MHz (PC 2100) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM KVR266X64C25/512

For outdated memory, this RAM stick is perfect. Excellent price, since just about all ram is the same. Installation was a snap and the computer recognized it with no problems. Just make sure all your memory is the same type or it won't work. for example this is a PC2100 266MHZ memory module, dont upgrade a computer that has PC3200 already installed. Mixing and matching causes all sorts of problems.

The initial memory in my old computer was either not up the the current program bloat or was going bad. I ordered two of these and my computer is much more of its old self. In hindsight I might have ordered twice the RAM but no complaints with these. I've always found Kingston products to be of very high quality and wasn't disappointed. Of course, anytime ordering something like this, make sure it is a parameter match to your machine. The items arrived in a very reasonable time.

Bought for my sons computer upgrade for the latest piece of software he wanted to run. Would have gotten it cheaper online or even at Best Buy. But he need to use up Amazon Gift card money from his uncle. Module is fine and he has not had any problems.

I was looking to upgrade my old P4 system w/o having to upgrade the processor or motherboard; memory upgrade was it! Reading that having the right amount and speed of system memory could speed up my system, I decided to upgrade. "Kingston" I had heard, is a leading brand in quality & value computer memory. After using Amazon's web site to find the correct memory for my system, it was easy and fast to purchase it. Delivery was quick and the parts installation took just a few minutes and was easy.Now, my system boots faster, web pages display quickly, programs and games load faster and even movie video is not choppy at all. I recommend a memory upgrade if you have an older system, mine runs faster than when it was new!

This is a high quality 512 MB RAM upgrade which I can recommend without qualification. I purchased two to replace two 128MB modules and upgrade my readily accessible memory from 256MB to 1 gig--which today's applications seem quickly to be rendering as the default minimum standard. As with any other DIMM RAM Module, the Kingston is literally a snap to install. Even if you've never been inside your computer chassis previously, you should not hesitate to do your own memory upgrade. Just be sure to know your system requirements, since these are available in different sizes and speeds to match different mother board standards and requirements.

So far no issues with it. It's a RAM stick, the computer performs a little better. On first install, the memory didn't quite work with my pre-existing stick from Dell. I switched the slots and then everything was fine. So from my basic user experience, I'd say this is a solid stick to buy. Then again, I'm not exactly performing RAM-tests on it so I'm hard pressed to be confident enough to rate it higher than 4.

I added this memory (2 sticks) to my Sony RX850 . Although the OS (XP Home) does not recognize the additional memory, my applications are definitely running faster. I used to have to walk away and could eat a cookie or brush my teeth by the time Miscrosoft Office opened up a file. Now it opens my Office products in a few seconds, same with IE7.
