Customer Reviews:

They do the job (and so can you) [Posted on 2008-05-04]
I installed them on my Dell Dimension and they worked fine. That's probably all you need to know in terms of a product review and, if they are still competitively priced at the time you do your upgrade, you may as well go for these. I thought I would add some comments for the benefit of those of you new to memory upgrades (and yes, even a non-technical person can do it, if you follow a few rules):

When upgrading from 1GB to 2GB, don't think you have a 1GB card and can add another. You have 2 half-GB cards and must replace them with 2 1GBs. And you need a matching pair, hence this 2GB kit.

Before delving into your PC's interior, read the appropriate section of the manual and disconnect all the power. Also, be VERY careful to avoid static. At the very least, stand on a rubber mat or wear rubber-soled shoes, and touch a shiny metal surface to discharge any static before opening the PC, and at intervals while working on it. Really, you should wear an anti-static wristband, clipped to the PC casing. They are very cheap and available from Amazon. If you are going to open your PC up from time to time, you need a wristband.

The cards are usually easy to remove and replace. Don't apply pressure in the center of the card when inserting it, or you could break it. Press down at the edges. If they won't go in, it's probably dust blocking the slot just enough to prevent the card fitting. Buy an aerosol dust remover, especially made for this purpose. Again, they are cheap and invaluable. That little vacuum you were thinking of using would generate too much static.

Good luck.
