What's great about it: Easy to Set up & Great Price
No problems with the install/upgrade. Great quality product. Great buy for the price. Remember if you're upgrading from 1GB to 2GBs, there are two slots so you will have to buy two (2) 1GBs of memory.

I bought this for my 4 year old Gateway. I had Windows 7 installed and on the old 512k it was slow. I installed the 1G so quickly, kinda amazed myself! So far my computer is working like its brand new.

What's great about it: can't think of a thing
What's not so great: it died after installing and using it for only 4 months
I would go with the Kingston if I was buying again I bought this chip and used it for 4 months before it died. When it died I couldn't boot up my system and PNY wants you to fill out a RMA form to get the lifetime warranty replacement. Kinda hard to do if you can't boot up. Luckily I have another system and another chip I could fall back on. All in all it's the first time I have purchased a PNY product. Also the first time I have had a memory chip fail in using computers for over 20+ years with Kingston.

What's great about it: Easy to install, fast, reliable
What's not so great: nothing...
Okay, so before i bought this item i did a bit research on it and found out it should be a good item.
went to BB, bought it and in about 5 minutes my laptop (Presario C500) was running twice as fast now. It had a factory 512 Memory card and i wanted to go big!
Overall performance is perfect, i can now load programs faster, stream through the web faster and download videos much faster...
i might upgrade to a 2 gig memory

What's great about it: easy to install, great price and make a noticeable improvement
What's not so great: nothing
i worked really hard to earn money for this. at first i thought i would have to pay $70 for it but the price is great. $29.99 is affordable and easy to make. i bought the product easily and it was very easy to install. once i turned my computer on, i instantly noticed the performance improvement. it makes playing the sims 3 faster. no more waiting for hours to load. now i just need to buy one more so it can be extra fast. definitely buying another. :)

What's great about it: Cheapest memory available at Best Buy, works like a charm
What's not so great: Had to reboot my computer and load a restore point and reinstall some software, but that's vista's fault, not the RAM
I decided that my computer was due for a memory upgrade. I am running windows vista 32-bit on my Gateway MT3705, and I was running 1 GB (2 512 MB chips). I'd heard that running vista on 1GB was suicide, and I've myself experienced video playback lag when running movies full screen. So I decided to plop down $65 and get me some 2GBs of RAM.
SO I took out the old pieces of RAM, but, it should be noted, I've never done anything like this before and only had some remembrance of a video walkthrough on how these things worked (like, "don't touch the gold stuff" is about it). So after installing it once, it only registered 1GB. I took it apart again, then booted again, then it said there was NONE. So I took it apart again and actually installed it correctly (I hadn't pushed the RAM all the way in) and it booted up fine.
However, Vista made me do a system restore from a restore point, and I had to install iTunes and Quicktime again for no good reason. Other than that, I've had no problem at all with the RAM. This is the cheapest stuff they have and it works perfectly fine.

What's great about it: Good price and easy to install
What's not so great: nothing
I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 and had the minimum 512 RAM with Windows Vista. The perfomance has always been subpar, so I finally decided to upgrade and add 1 GB. I had no problems with this and as soon as I booted back up, I noticed an instant difference. The performance has improved beyond what I was expecting. Great product and I would recommend to anyone needing to upgrade.

What's great about it: not even the price... at least the store wasn't far away
What's not so great: Defective right out of the package!!
Installed it, and machine wouldn't even boot to p.o.s.t.
Removed it, and we're back to operational. Now I have to make another trip out to return it.... too much trouble, shoulda just bought Kingston...

I bought these rams at Bestbuy but I noticed that the ones I got are of "blue" color and the black chips are written "elixir" and not "PNY"...I don't know what's going on....I installed one RAM first. So far it's working. I will try to install the other one later....This is strange...Does anyone know why Elixir Memory Ram are packaged into PNY ??? Thanks.
