  Nice value for your money December 28, 2008
It's not the best. It's not the fastest. It's good enough.
Some people want the best things money can buy, so they will spend thousands of dollars in the best equipment: gold-plated cables, memory covered with enough metal to shield them from any electromagnetic interference, chassises made of weapon-grade titanium alloy. Some people need stuff that just works, and if it's cheap, the better.
To upgrade the performance of a computer, there's no better thing that invest in some memory. More RAM means the computer doesn't have to access the hard disk that often, and memory is way faster than hdds. If you have 512M, get 1 or 2G and things will improve a lot. If you have 4G the machine will fly! And that's usually the limit of the past generation computers, by the way. I'm happy with 1G, and my embeddable computers work very well with it. Just be careful when you get your memory, if it needs DDR2, get this, if you need DDR, keep looking.
This is a budget-grade memory. It does it's job. It may be not as fast as premium-grade memory, but if that means you have to pay four of five times what this one costs, just so save fifteen seconds of processing time each day, well, thank you very much, I'll get this one. It is slim, and it seems fragile. It is fragile, but you won't use it in an application that requires a fault-free enviroment to work. This one will resist the usual conditions and tests, but if you will run intensive calculations, it will overheat. I can't remember the last time I had to do intensive calculations in my computer, and I'm a geek that loves to rip and recode dvds to watch'em in my ipod. That's not intensive nowadays. Reordering ten trillion records from a to z, that's intensive.
So this thing will do the job, and do it well, and do it cheap. Get it. Unless, of course, you prefer to spend more money and get almost the same product, but gold-plated.
At this Price, Jump on It. December 1, 2008
I'm naturally a bit wary of anything with "Value" in the name, but figured, "At this price, what the heck?" So, I bought a few. Works like a dream and really helped revive a couple old slow-pokes in my arsenal. Think I'll buy a few more and double the RAM in all my PC's.
For the record, these are still going for $75-80 at that store where they wear the tasteful blue polo shirts, so get 'em now.

Arrivied just as expected and performs just as expected. No complaints here, and I'm very happy with my extra RAM and increased performance. Worth the money for sure.

i bought this really hoping to improve the speed of my pc. but unfortunately it did not fit into the memory bays which was disappointing, guess i will have to sell it.
simple! August 14, 2008
Opened my computer, took out the old, put in the new, turned it back on... and thats it!
