What's great about it: Great price, simple to install
What's not so great: Online only, not in my stores.
The installation was not as easy as the video because some of my computers parts were in the way. The value is immense as a computer with 8 gb is many times more expensive than this upgrade. And I have seen this same product elsewhere at a higher price, so Best Buy really is the best.

Never have messed with the "inside" of the computer but decided to try a memory upgrade on my iMac. This was so easy and has made such a big difference! Worked great, easy to install, worked for a Mac.

What's great about it: Easy installation, good price and improved laptop performance.
I have an older (2007) Gateway laptop (AMD Turion 64) running Windows XP that was configured with two 512MB PC6400 DDR2 SoDIMMs. Because my laptop is in very good condition, and I use it primarily for word processing, email and browsing, I could see no reason for junking it, even though newer models are out there that are relatively inexpensive. I did want, however, a performance boost since I noticed that some of the newer programs I installed were taxing the CPU with heavier demands on the installed RAM. I also wanted the ability to upgrade the OS to Windows 7 when XP is no longer supported. The PNY memory upgrade was the solution to both issues. Not only is my older laptop performing better speed-wise, but it also now meets the requirements for an upgrade to Windows 7.
It was very easy to install. Just remove the cover underneath the cpu, remove the two old ram chips, slide the new ram into place, press down and you're fininshed. The computer recognized the memory right away and I immediately noticed improved boot up time and faster application performance.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Video Review:
(click to see the video)
User submitted video
No instructions come with it really (which is why it gets 4 stars rather than 5), but there's a wealth of info on the internet so it is painless to install. I installed it on my EEE PC 1015 netbook which then showed noticeable performance improvement. Here's a link to a video demonstrating the installation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uDTkzl_mjE
It's not in English, but it's so clear no translation is needed.
