    Installed with no problems on a Dell Optiplex 9020 rescued from eBay, which I've been using as a Plex server for about a month. I don't really know how else to review older RAM.

    When I first purchased two sticks of this RAM, I was assured by the salesman that these were fabulous sticks of RAM and no complaints had ever been received. I figured I would go ahead and get them (usually I do not purchase something without doing my own research to see if they really are worth the deal). That was an error on my part. I came home the same night and installed the two sticks of RAM and ran a memtest on them. Immediately, one stick was faulty with two bad sectors. Returned to the store and they had no more in stock. I had to have it shipped to my house in 7-10 days. During the lapse in time, I just used the one stick. The next day, I turned on my computer and immediately got a blue screen. Performed another memtest, and sure enough, four more sectors on this stick were bad. Ended up going to a competitor to buy brand name sticks of RAM (as Best Buy did not have the brand I wanted) and haven't had any issues since. I would not recommend this RAM to anyone.

    The Westminster Store Geek Squad recommend it but then told me I didn't need it so they returned the sale back to me. They are great to work with.

    I placed an order over the phone for ram memory for my laptop, and when it came in it was wrong one , so i drove to the store in ann arbor to return it and get new one. I requested to speak to manager and when she came out to talk to me she was very unprofessional plain rude. I told her my problem and i said it 2 times every time when i started talking she would rudely just walk away to talk to her coworker for 20 sec then came back to helping me she did that 2 time cut me off and walked away to talk to someone...Any way i asked for any discount on new item im buying because of my inconvenience, she said sorry no discount can't help you. If you want buy it if not we will refund you those are your 2 options. .. Summary very rude and unprofessional big shame , well Best Buy you just lost a customer for ever , she was short blond lady between age 25-30

    Desktop performance was sluggish. Removed the old memory and popped a couple of these in the slots....and voila! Instant boost!
