    Seemed to work fine for a couple weeks but then started getting blue screens of death on my windows laptop. Returned these and ordered some Kingston ram and had no issues after.

    Excellent upgrade for Acer Aspire 756-2823

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased an Acer Aspire 756-2823 from my local BB store a few days ago. The system was preinstalled with a single 2GB memory stick, which was perfect for basic tasks. Since the maximum memory capacity on this netbook was 8GB, I saw that BB was having this 4GB stick for under $20 (best price I've seen locally for memory). Just five years ago, a single 1GB memory module was well over $100, but today I can get 4GB for under a fourth of that price. I bought 2 of these modules, maxing out the limit to my Acer. The entire system just responds so much quicker than before, obviously. Windows Experience Index increased the memory score from a 5.5 (1x2GB) to a 7.5 (2x4GB) and my graphics scores have also increased by a few points. My netbook now has a subscore of 4.7, which is well over the standards for a netbook thanks to this memory upgrade. Even though 8GB seems to be like an overkill for most people, it actually comes in handy whenever I am editing my photos on CS6. Future proofing is also important to note. I do photography and travel a lot, so a nice compact netbook with this 8GB or RAM is more than I'll ever need. If you can afford the second module, why not go for it?

    The Price was Right Modernica wanted $425.00 to upgrade my MacBook Pro i7(15-inch, Early 2011) to 8gb from 4gb and I did it for less than $52.00 As stated the memory is a direct replacement for the installed apple memory and it works great. The computer speed up during processing of photo's in lightroom which is a great benefit. It really works. Another thing I communicate with Apple and will not void the warranty change the memories, they will not have problem with that. Change them will like them but their MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011). Thank you.

    I bought this ram for my laptop which only has 2GB of RAM. Running Windows 7 with 2GB gets a little slow, so i decided to upgrade to the 4GB. The install went great - only had to remove 2 screws and pop off a cover and pull the old RAM out. Some people say that upgrading RAM makes the computer start up faster, and mine only started 1-2 seconds faster from a cold start, but the programs open and run much much better - especially Photoshop. This is well worth the money considering speed increases and the lifetime warranty. I just may go back and get another stick to give the computer 8GB.

    Bought this ram for my Late 2009 MacBook Pro. Installed it and it works flawlessly. I had 4gb ram and the 8gb was a large step. Boot times went from 40 seconds to 17. VERY fast for everything I have installed. This also works flawlessly in my brand new MacMini i5 that came with 4gb ram. Super easy install and a great price.

    Picked it up at the store and had it installed in no time flat. I am sure I could of shopped around more to locate a better price, but with the 5 bucks off and a reward certificate, why sweat the minor differential in price. The value is still there when compared to the factory alternative of paying 200 bucks for the same upgrade by the OEM. it was simple and easy upgrade to double the RAM within the laptop in under 5 minutes.
