What's great about it: Followed install instructions and instant speed improvement
What's not so great: nothing
"After reading the numerous reviews on the 3 different 1gb pc2-5300 DDR2 (PNY for $29.99, Corsair Value Select $31.99, and this one for $34.99), and being a little bit concerned about the one or two unfavorable reviews all around, I decided this one was worth the extra couple of bucks. First time I ever opened up a laptop, so was a bit fearful of of the unknown, but I just had to follow the instructions from gateway's service document from their website. Put them both into my daughter's Gateway MT6451 with Vista (which came factory-equipeed with 2x512MB memory cards). It fired right up the first time, we noticed immediately the favorable speed increase. Lifetime warranty, 24/7 support on the Kingston memory; how can we go wrong? No gaming on her computer so I can't speak to that. Now what to do with these two perfectly good 512MB cards I just took out?"

What's great about it: It's just as easy to install as any other stick of ram.
What's not so great: clocking speeds, and fails under hard work.
"This ram is ok if you're goal is to have your applications load faster.
It is not ok if you're gaming -- read errors, access fails, too slow basically, skips a beat...it sucks."

What's not so great: none
"I purchased two 1GB for my laptop. Honestly, I was a little intimidated at first to upgrade my computer (never opening my laptop before). It took me less than 5 minutes to take out the old memory and input the new. The hardest part of the job was putting the screws back in. Money very well spent."

What's not so great: None
"Having received a new laptop for Christmas I wanted to increase the memory. I went to Best Buy and spoke with a rep who recommended this product. I purchased 2gbs. and came home and started doing my homework on how to install. My laptop has a good online manual that includes pictures on installing memory. I printed it out and 5 minutes later my upgrade was complete and has been working great since!"

What's great about it: Now I like my Vista!
What's not so great: None
"I recently purchased a Vaio with 1GB and Vista Premium. It works pretty nice but some tasks are not so easy, especially to render 3D images. So, I took off both 512MB that cames in the notebook and put 2 x 1GB.
Its easy and fast! Highly recommended."

Very Good Notebook Ram
01/08/2008
By Aguinaldo

What's great about it: Very good will make a difference. got it on sale
What's not so great: None and I hope none will happen
"I just installed this on my Sony Vaio and I wouldn't say it was a big difference for me because I had 2x 512MB and now I got 1.5 GB but there was a difference. Later on I will buy another one when it is on sale again for $30 and it is recommended for sure and also I would wait for it to be on sale. Its on sale mostly every 2-4 weeks because every week they have a 1GB notebook ram for sale for $30. Kingston is a very good kind."

What's great about it: easy install, faster speed
What's not so great: none
"Real easy install on my new laptop, Compaq presario, this was the first thing i upgraded and well worth it. opened up the back cover, took out the old memory and snapped in the new ones. did everything in 10min. everything is quicker, web, games, windows programs, videos, etc. Remember you must buy 2 of these, ur memory comes in pairs. if u want to double ur ram and you have 1gb standard on ur comp.. u have to take out the (2) 512mb's and install (2) 1gb's to make ur comp 2gb."

easy inexpencive upgrade
01/03/2008

What's great about it: easy to install
What's not so great: non
"I bought this to upgrade my Toshiba laptop Model A100 s2211td that came with Celeron 1.6 and 256 Ram. I thought of this as an inexpencive way to upgrade my laptop and to save my self buying a new laptop.
the installation took me one minute to cut the package and one minute to install the new memory in the unocupied slot.
the result was amazing, I'm still having the 256 ram next to this 1 GB beause my laptop could not work without the original ram due to the shared graphic memory I guess !!
If I can make my laptop work without the original memory that came with it, I will buy a second 1 GB just like this one and install it next to it as I have only to slots.
I use Microsoft Streets and trips/ windows XP daily in my delivery work , this memory is such a relief"

If you have Vista, UPGRADE!!

What's great about it: Speeds Up Boot Time, Makes Vista Work 100x Better
What's not so great: You Have to Get Over the Fear of Opening the Case
"I recently purchased an HP-Pavillion (dv6604nr). It came w/1GB of RAM. I was disappointed at the speed after only a few days of use. This morning, I decided to upgrade. I bought 2 sticks of this RAM and replaced the 2 512MB w/the 2 sticks of 1GB. I was scared of opening the case, but it is very very simple to install. I booted up and had to do absolutely nothing. It automatically recognized the new RAM. I highly recommend this to Vista users, it makes your Vista experience much better."

What's great about it: Value, ease, performance
What's not so great: none
"This was an amazing upgrade. I have a compaq presario with windows vista. I was disappointed to say the least with the speed. I was looking into going back to xp sp2. I purchased it, got home, and as fast as I could turn off the computer I was done. Started back up with an amazing improvement. I was lucky enough to buy on sale for a great price but I even if i was to buy it for more than full price it would be worth it. I will probably go back so I can upgrade to the full 2 GB. Money well spent."
