    Bought to replace my G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL that "broke" when I dusted my computer and wouldn't allow it to start (it would pulse on, shut down, repeat). It does seem faster, now that I have 16GB vs the previous 8GB, but not super noticeably. It works and was in stock at my local Best Buy, but these are expensive, $80 for two sticks vs my previous $46. So four stars

    If one is building a gaming machine or something to be used for heavy data development - I would go with something more powerful. For normal needs this works well and has been reliable.

    I have always trusted PNY memory modules, so figured this would be a good move for my system. Opening multiple windows is faster and running multiple tasks seems more responsive.

    I bought three of these and they work beautifully! My PC now has 32 GB thanks to these additions. At first when I would play games and I would have memory leaks it would take about 5 or more minutes to start back working. Now if I have a memory leak it back up and running within 5 seconds. Thanks Bestbuy for such an awesome product!!
