Adding some extra RAM to your PC or laptop is a fantastic and economical way to increase performance and speed. My in-laws have had problems with their PC running Vista home basic for several months. Everytime they tried to open a couple of applications at the same time or even just browse the web the computer would freeze for up to 3 or 4 minutes at a time. And when it wasn't frozen it was soooo slow! It could take up to 7 minutes to boot and 2 or 3 minutes just to launch an internet browser like firefox or IE8. I tried installing several programs on there to clean up the junk files and all the other crap clogging up the hard drive. Everything I did just seemed to do nothing or even make it worse. Finally I realized that the computer only had 512mb memory installed. Fine for a brand new PC but 2 years down the line with dozens of extra programs installed it is nowhere near enough. Especially with RAM hogging Vista installed. So I removed the 512mb chip and installed two 1GB chips. What a difference it makes!!! Straight away it booted mega fast and was up and running in a minute flat. I could open a web browser, an application, a game, and run a security scan all at the same time without the computer missing a beat. Unheard of before the upgrade. Upgrading your RAM is a fantastic and economical way to give your computer a new lease of life and to speed things up considerably. Crucial is a fantastic manufacturer and you only have to google the name to find there website. They have a scanner which you can download and afater it is run it will tell you what kind of memory you need and how much you can use. And it will bring up a page of all the memory chips they have that are compatible. Once you know what memory you need you can come back to eBay like I did and hopefully find it even cheaper than the usual retail price. I really cannot recommend a memory upgrade enough to anyone running a very slow computer or suffering constant freezes. My in-laws were ready to throw the PC in a skip and now that I have upgraded the memory they are as happy as if I had just bought them a new PC for X-mas. Very easy to install as well. There are several videos on youtube showing you exactly how to do it. All you need is 5 minutes and a screwdriver to take the side panel off. Really, really easy. Even a chimp could do. Something I proved when I did it! ha. Make sure you shop around for the actual chip tho once you know what type of memory you want. prices can vary by as much as £20 to £30 for the exact same chip from website to website. If you are not as lucky as me to get them real cheap here on eBay then Crucial.co.uk are very good as is Ballicom.co.uk. Thanks for reading this and happy computing!!!Read full review
Memory works excellent in my dell gx280 computer. I installed 2 of these modules and it made a lot of thing go faster compared to what was originaly in it.
