Crucial RAM CT2K51264BD160B 8 GB Kit (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 Desktop Memory, Green

Whilst I have a reasonable amount of practical competence I am not an electronics engineer and was more than a little apprehensive about fitting these to my 9 year old Dell. I watched and read every piece of information I could find and decided I would go for it. I followed the instructions to the letter and used tips I had found in my research, like ‘don’t use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from inside’. The old memory came out easily, the new went in without a problem having made sure they were paired correctly. Cover on, power on and away it went! The first time it was switched on it was a little slow to start up but no problems after that. The memory is recognised, all seems to be good, and I am both relieved and pleased.

This was delivered within 3 days, which was much quicker than I expected, and it worked as expected.The price could be a cheaper as this is old memory tech these days, but I'm not complaining as I bought it at the price on offer, just knocking one star off.Use the Crucial system scanner to check for memory compatibility with your existing motherboard, on the Crucial . com site and look for system scanner, to be sure this will work for you.When installing, you need to press down quite firmly to ensure the card(s) are seated correctly. You will know it's right when the clips for holding the card in place, rise up and clamp down as you press.

After buying the wrong hardware, this arrived promptly and was really easy to install, fixing my issue with my PC. My computer now runs much more smoothly. Very happy with the purchase :)

I doubled the RAM on my old desktop from 8GB with this 16GB kit from Crucial. The difference it made was instantly apparent. Apps and web pages now load and open so much faster and smoother than before. I should have done this upgrade ages ago.

Memory arrived on time and well packaged.Easy to fit and working well

Was a bit sceptical at first, but I needed to ensure the memory purchased was going to be compatible with my machine. I downloaded the app from crucial and hey presto it told me everything regarding the memory. How much I currently have, the maximum the motherboard could take and how many slots were already used are are free. The app gave me recommendations where to purchase the memory from. So I can confirm the memory purchased, my machine recognised both memory slots (2 banks of 8GB) and is working perfectly well. Easy!!

I bought 2 (4 cards in total) of these as a bit of a punt. My PC had 16GB at 1333MHz memory installed and I wanted to upgrade to 32GB at 1600MHz. When I tried to see if my PC would accept the upgrade the manufacturer's web site was no help. Some of the support and help pages said you could and some said you couldn't. It was a similar story with some of the forums I looked at. I ran a Crucial scan and it told me that I could upgrade so I went ahead and bought them. They had to come from Italy so were held up for a couple of days due to Niggle Farcearse, UKraP and Brexshit but they arrived a day earlier than estimated. It took about ten minutes to instal them. The only reason it took that long was because a, I was working in my own light and b, one of the slots was partially under the hard drive cage. When I fired the machine up it accepted them. There is a great difference of the PC's performance.

Bought to upgrade my desktop PC from 8Gb to 16Gb, to keep pace with modern apps and browsers that are so memory greedy.Made sure I was buying the right stuff by checking various motherboard guides and also recommended hardware suppliers. Landed on this pair of DIMM memory sticks.After they arrived, popped open my PC box, removed the old pair of 4GB DIMMS, the two new ones fitted easily, powered up and Windows recognised it had double the memory, and thats that.PC runs a bit faster but most noticeably there is almost no delay when swapping between apps on a busy toolbar.
