    This is my second set of this ram. I rounded out my rig with 32gb and they run great together. No bios set up just plug n play! It's well worth the price if you can get it at $89. If the price is up just wait a week.

    Years ago it used to be that in order to have a machine with decent speed you had a lot of RAM 16-32 GB or more was not unheard of, these days however, memory isn't as important so many system builders don't build their machines with 16,32, or even 64GB any longer, they're building them with 4 or 8GB. This is due primarily to the OS have gotten better with how it uses physical memory. Well I had one such system build with very little memory, so I was looking for an upgrade to make my gaming better, and I thought this was step 1 in probably was going to be a 3 step upgrade, 1 memory, 2 SSD (new hard disk) and 3 new video card. Well I've slowed my roll on the other two upgrades after purchasing this memory. It has really increased the speed of my system and has made me take another look at my upgrades going forward. This is great memory as a replacement for older, slower memory, or as a supplement to current memory. I had no problems with installation, nor compatibility. Very good decision.

    So I needed some RAM and I couldn't wait. Even though there were slightly better models available, thanks to the amazing price match I was able to get these much lower than expected compared to the others. I was only looking for a better than average build on a budget rather than top of the line, and this is a very pack for those doing the same. Overclocking was simple with no issues.

    8GB ram is enough for what I needed to do on my computer without lag. Installation is simple. No issues yet. You can see a difference upgrading from 4GB of ram.

    I purchased this so I could dedicate some extra system RAM to a Minecraft server I wanted to host. With this upgrade, I am able to dedicate 8 GB of RAM to the server, 6 GB of RAM to playing at the same time (the server has over 60 mods installed) with 2 GB left over for Windows. The set-up works excellently, and I've had no issues! Love that it was easy to install, and it comes with heatsinks on the modules to help prevent overheating.

    16GB of total memory. Worked out of the box and no problems so far. I like the low profile heat sink / spreader, reminds me of the good old days when I have to purchase and install it myself. Runs at 1600 stock and XMP at 1866. Hope this helps.

    To get 16 Gig of PC3-14900 for this price was a surprise. Bought this to replace two 4GB DIMMs that came stock with my PC. Not only did it increase my memory, but my RAM speed. Took a second to realize the two DIMMs I kept were being held back by the stock DIMMs I replaced. For the price, I'm considering replacing those (slower) DIMMs with another two of these.

    I felt like this was a lot of ram for the price. Plus, the ram itself looks sexy; it's a black background with a white PNY signature in very classy font. Should say gentleman's/gentlewoman's edition on the front. Also, works great!

    I wanted to buy an upgrade for my computer. I'm into gaming and felt like I needed more RAM. So I maxed out the RAM. So I purchased 2 of the 16 GB packs. The memory was very easy to install. Had no errors and still don't have any errors. The only problem I had was going to two different BestBuy's to get my instant gratification. I didn't want to wait a day or two for shipping. The memory was a step up from the Kingston I had. Works with my Asus Sabretooth board.

    I chose this RAM for the low profile and competitive pricing. DDR3 has been pretty steady in terms of performance differences and quality among all reputable brands available, so I'm happy to own something reliable with a reasonable value.
