    Purchased this product to upgrade and expand my computers RAM (memory) and it really worked great. I was having some minor speed issues prior to installing more memory and now that has been resolved.

    When it comes to value we shop around. We found this to be the best bang for the buck. Great price and integrated heat sinks too. Price, performance, and heat sinks add you to a superior value!

    I used these to replace OEM 4GB memory (2 X 2GB). No issues installing them and so far they are working exactly as they should. For the price, I couldn't ask for more.

    Bought these memory boards for a system that needed a new motherboard and used different memory than what had been previously used. These worked just fine despite not being the fastest memory that my system could have supported. So far so good.

    I like the metal (or is it plastic made to look like metal) sheaths protecting the chips. Also, it fit snugly and worked great right off the bat. I've used this brand on my laptop and it's been great - no complaints. I rate the value as good and not excellent because I'm not sure if this brand really works any better than any of its competitors, and all of these brands seem to be similarly priced. So no outstanding value anywhere.

    I purchased this ram for my first desktop computer that was a gateway and it worked great with it. After a couple of months though I realized that I had a drastic reduction in performance. After testing it and many failed boots I realized that one of the RAM sticks had faulted. I was lucky that PNY was great about the RMA process and was able to receive a replacement for the broken RAM.

    Run of the mill ram that'll be great for upgrading a older computer. Nothing flashy here but doesn't need to be either.

    i bought 2 of these. one to upgrade one computer in one room of the house and another in the other. i have now upgraded my total of 5 running pcs with these cards. each one running just fine and great. Easy to use. i know if your really trying to build a 'beast' computer. you will be looking at other ram chips that are a bit more higher dollar cost.
