Posted by: Huskerguy from Phoenix, AZ on 06/01/2013I was using a speech recognition program on my laptop for work and the original laptop had only 2 GB of RAM out of the box. I constantly had crashes and freezes with the program, which had a recommended minimum RAM requirement of 4 GB of RAM. I added a PNY 4GB SDRAM card (for a total of 6 GB of RAM) and have not had any trouble with it since. The whole laptop is running as fast as ever, even with heavy use and a nearly full hard drive.
Definitely better than spending the money on a new laptop.

Added Memory = Increased Performance!

Posted by: mmlav4 from Aurora, IL on 05/30/2013I purchased a new Dell All-in-One computer which came stock with 4GM Memory and 1TB Hard Drive. As I had preferred to buy a pc with at least 6GB memory, I decided to upgrade my pc's memory to the max of 8GB by adding this 4GB memory module. Geek Squad installed it for me so I'm unsure of the ease of installing but I didn't wait long! PC runs great so I'm happy with this upgrade.

Bad batch

Posted by: industryworker from NH on 05/17/2013It convinced me that the PC industry has a complete meltdown, finally, after taken over by smartphonablets.
I have upgraded my numerous laptops/PCs since late 90's from 100M->192M , 250M->500M, 500M->1G , to today's 4G->8G upgraded.
This is the first time I leave a product review with 1 star in my whole life. And this is also the first time I leave a review to BestBuy. The notion that a 5Gbps cell phone network is going to swipe the whole industry away is always in my mind. I use this laptop to eval a cisco's network monitoring tool that needs extra ram.
I have always thought that the late 90's early 00' system bootup memory check was unnecessary because I had never experienced any memory corruption in my whole life during that period. My current laptop does not have bootup memory check. Why does the industry remove the memory checks on all computers? It got old and got cocky.
The ram gave me blue screen of death when I ran the big software. I was skeptical at first until I took out the laptop's default 4G ram and attempted to boot with the PNY 4G ram. The boot would fail half of the time.
I exchanged the ram at the local store. The new ram would not allow the system to boot most of the time. I returned it and bought another one that was made by Kingston from bestbuy.com . That finally worked.
I will leave another 1 star feedback for the second nonfunctional ram.
But I will leave a 5 star feedback for the Kinston one.
I installed the ram a few times and then pull out my original ram several times and replace it with my other netbook's ram for a few days while deciding to replace it. So many installing tries is the reason I give this product the low rating for ease of installation
In conclusion, PC industry is at the pivotal point to a complete change. And this situation of the defective ram shows the beginning of the end.
