What's great about it: Like getting a new PC
What's not so great: None
"I was having issues with iTunes hogging all memory causing everything to Pagefile. I only had 512 of memory, adding this memory took care of all issues I was having and it is like have a new Pc without having to reinstall everything. Plugged it in and it was recognized, about a 10 minute install. Be sure to buy it in pairs if your motherboard has your memory slots in pairs."

What's great about it: easy to install / seemless integration
What's not so great: might not notice much difference in performance
"Firstly, I got this on sale for 50 bucks. I wouldn't pay more than that, even though DDR will become more scarce, hence more pricey as it's phased out in favor of DDR2-3.
It was simple to install in my machine; plug in and that's it!
I haven't noticed much difference in my PC's performance/speed, but then again, I run a clean computer, and I'm not usign it for games. I primarily bought this to boost my video performance, and it does the trick."

WHOA!!!!!!!

What's great about it: MADE MY DESKTOP RUN FASTER THAN WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW
What's not so great: NONE
"Whoa !!!! That's all I can say. I was going to buy a new HP desktop because mine had been slowing down as of late. I was going to buy the HP m9340f which has a pretty good array of components inside.
I decided to try and max out my computer before I went ahead and spent 1400.00 bucks for the computer package and a warranty.
Here is what I was running 2.8ghz P4 with 512mb of ram. Radeon video card and the rest is irrelevant.
I decided to get 4gb of memory and max my system out just to see how it performed because I was tired of trying to multitask and sitting there for a minute or two while my computer was opening another program.
When I swapped the memory out and booted up the comptuer I couldn't tell a difference right away. Then I started in and burned a cd while encoding an hour long .mov file to mpeg2. I figured that should be enough to strain the system and give me a good idea of whether or not it was a good choice.
Well like I said I tried to strain the system but it didn't work. The new memory burned the cd and completed the encoding in about ten minutes while I surfed the web.
I've had the new memory for about two weeks and I haven't been able to strain the cpu yet. It loads web pages and cuts through other tasks like butter. I'm glad I didn't shell out 1400.00 bucks because this was a way better investment and I saved about 1250.00 bucks by going with just the memory.
Thanks PNY I am now a big fan of yours."

What's great about it: Easy to install, Works great, Universal for ddr memory up to pc-3200
What's not so great: Bit pricy
"I recently purchased two 1 GB PNY ddr pc3200 sticks and they work perfectly. I used the sticks on my VPR Matrix which I purchased from Best Buy about 5 years ago. The computer was slowing up when installing new software that require more memory to run eficiently. I only had 512mb of ram then I decided to upgrade to the max. I went on crucial.com and found out that the motherboard contained in my vpr was capable of holding 2048mb of ram memory so I took advantage. I am satisfied with this product."

What's great about it: Performance
What's not so great: None
"My desktop was sluggish and very slow in loading programs. The 256 MB of RAM was just not enough to handle today’s complex software. After installing this 1 GB of RAM, my computer's performance improved dramatically. I no longer see that little flashlight icon searching for the program. I did a little research and found that I could install it myself and did. This module is easy to install. Now my desktop runs like new."

What's great about it: Great performance
What's not so great: expensive
"I put the memory in and I had no problems. My programs work much faster now. It is kind of expensive but worth it if you you've tried other memory sticks that were less expensive and didn't work. I would recommend this for anyone who needs this type of memory for your PC such as a Dell or other that runs on PC3200 DDR."

" Starry Night ".. Flying at Mach 1

What's great about it: Everything...
What's not so great: " !!! Ssshhh...!!! "
"PNY is a great brand - lifetime warranty, & great quality -; that I was already acquainted with when I upgraded my 03 desktop from the original sluggish 256 mb to 512 mb.
This time I placed the 1 GB stick. Surprisingly, I cut waiting time between webpages from 6 seconds to 2.5 seconds ( already in Broadband ). That will translate to an increased productivity of 200 - 300 % ( based on # of pages per hour ). I thought the fact that my P 4 2.2 Ghz has a L 2 cache of 512 Kb or that my 478 motherboard has an FSB of 400 mHz would be real limitants. They seem to play a secondary role.
Unless you are a " gamer " or are into professional Video editing. Which I am not. It seems to be upgrading memory is ENOUGH of the way to go. After this, I will buy another one to make up for a max. alloted of 2 GB. Forget about a new pc, no need for it..!!!
I didn't get to buy it on sale price. But thanks to Best Buy price match, I was able to have an unbeatable deal.
One word of caution, after doing your homework and math ( keep in mind the 10 % discount on price difference ) make sure you print the competitors price and bring it along to the store. My favorite store manager had the day off...!!!"

Works Fine

"Just like past PNY products, this module gives great memory performance to the computer. Also increases the number of applications the computer runs.
It takes a few moments for the computer to re-configure on initial startup, but on the second and subsequent re-boots, all startups and responses are faster."

This Ram is Insane!!!

By ValueBob

"This ram is crazy! I mean like totally flipped-out, wiggy, whack-a-mole spank-tacular!!!! There's ram, and then there's this stuff. I could go on all day about this ram. It's hard to express how superbalicious this ram is. The first time I used this ram. I was addicted. There's no words to describe the shear ecstacy that I derive while surfing the information super highway atop a waxed down shimmering goddess of a surfboard like these sticks of ram can surly be. Just stick them in each a slot and BAM! You've got a spicy italian hitman chasing you down the back alleys of Fun-city, across the slopes of Memory-mountain and deep into the forbidden stretches of the uber-data-speed-zone baby!!!!"
