What's not so great: Can find better prices from other sites.

I couldn't find this product code on Kingston's site, so I wasn't sure whether it would work with my 2006 15-inch 2.2 GHz MacBook Pro. All the specs matched so I decided to buy it and see if it said on the packaging, but no help there either. So I called Kingston's tech support, and they were really helpful and looked up both the product and my computer requirements and said it should work. Turned out fine - installation was super fast and easy, and my computer recognized it right away. Performance has definitely improved, and it definitely beats the Apple price which is $100 for 2GB. I'll have to see if it lasts.
What's great about it: easy install, reasonable price, good customer service
What's not so great: not much documentation, either with packaging or on website
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this RAM after a year of having to deal with a slow Vista laptop. Bought this and upgraded so that I now have 2.5 GB. It works great and adds much needed speed to my laptop. Great product.
What's great about it: It has a decent price, adds some much needed speed to vista
What's not so great: none that I can see

I bought this for my Asus EEE 1000heb and it made my quick little netbook a super fast little netbook. I recommend buying these for each and every computer you own. Be wary of how much ram each memory slot can take though.
What's great about it: Increases SPEEEEDDDDD ... Compatible with all my computers
What's not so great: will break easily if you step on it

I purchased this product because running World of Warcraft with 256 MB of RAM is absolute H-E-double hockey stick (sorry, it says it won't post my review if I leave any inappropriate language). I was pretty excited that I would be able to finally get a decent frame rate, until it happened... I got home and found my RAM on my front porch, I excitedly opened it, I tried to put it in my Dell laptop, but something was wrong. It wouldn't fit in the slot very well. I pulled my computer close to see what the problem was. I saw a sticker that said "DDR1 ONLY"...but I bought a DDR2... There are two morals to this story: Always open your computer and check for a sticker telling you what DDR your computer is compatible with, but most importantly, NEVER BUY A DELL COMPUTER! Not to get off topic, but I have never had a Dell product work the way it was intended to. Shortly after returning my RAM, I decided I should do the honorable thing and write a review warning people not to make the same mistake as me.
What's great about it: I wouldn't know.
What's not so great: I wouldn't know.

I recently purchase this 5300 DDR Ram to upgrade my New HP Mini 1030 model from 1 GB to 2GB. Prior to this RAM from Best Buy, i bought a 2 gb memory from Frys which was cheap $20.00. I though RAM is RAM, apperantly is not. It depends who made it and getting the right brand can make difference on your PC Desktop or Laptop performance. I compared difference using test ram software that indicates speed and performance of ram. The outcomes after installing this Kingston i notice little difference on the task, cache mememory, applications etc seem to bit quicker. My final word is this a RAM to get. Dont settle for cheap or immitation brand,
What's great about it: Great Performance RAM compared to other RAMs
What's not so great: None

My fiance's computer was getting very slow. We thought about buying her a new one but thought we would try this first since it is a fraction of the cost of a new computer. That was a smart choice because her computer is working like new now. It got a lot faster and it doesn't freeze up anymore. A great buy!!
