I used the Corsair to upgrade my 2GB T400 (Lenovo) to 4GB. Installation was quick and uneventful and my laptop (runs Windows 7 Enterprise) immediately recognized the new memory. My computer appears to be performing better post-upgrade.

For what this sells, it can't get much better.

Before ordering, you should make sure that this is EXACTLY what you need. While DDR3 transfer at twice the data rate of DDR2, they are physically incompatible with DDR2 slots so you can't upgrade from DDR2 to DDR3. You should also be aware that the amount of available memory depends on the operating system and the way your computer is configured (BIOS) so you may not be able to use the all the memory in your system until you install to a 64-bit OS and/or upgrade your BIOS.

To me, it's an easy 5 stars.

I bought this for the HP 311 Netbook.
So simple, even an adult can install it!
Snaps in and Windows XP picks it up immediatley on a cold boot (Before you install - you must remember to remove big battery, electric power cord AFTER you zap yourself touching the computer (just like walking across carpet and touching something metalic).
You will have something like 2.75gb memory when done.
When you remove the two screw holding the underplate, you cannot miss the place to plug it in - Label side facing up to you. Push down gently along the sides and you will hear it snap in place.
Be gentle, it is a chip.
Computer works way,way better with the added memory.

The Asus 1215n netbook is very picky when it comes to memory upgrades. I purchased two of these CM3X2GSD1066 2GB modules and they work flawlessly. All 4GB is recognized in x64 Windows once you upgrade the BIOS to 0604. Corsair is one of the most respected names in the business, and to top it off they offer a lifetime warranty. I've had to RMA a few different modules over the years and their RMA service is outstanding.

I ordered this product for my Asus Eee PC 1015PED netbook and it did not work. Netbooks are very picky with memory upgrades. Read the discussion board for my mini review.

Works great in the HP Mini 311
I'm a prime member but Amazon @ 57.98 is 12.00 higher than Newegg 46.99 w/ free ship

I have the Lenovo S10-3 that takes the DDR3 chip not the DDR2 (Ordered by mistake, Amazon incredibly efficient and understanding, accepted the return no questions asked.) This memory adds a great boost of performance to the little Netbook. Paired with a Solid State Drive the S10-3 really makes you start to forget that you are running an Intel Atom 1.6ghz processor.

Bought this part for my newly acquired netbook, an ACER AOD-255E.

Installed perfectly, no issues. It's faster than the Kingston RAM that came with the unit. Now this one has 2GB instead of 1GB.

Bought this for my wife's new Toshiba laptop. It was delivered quickly and installed in less than 5 minutes. Laptop runs like a top.

This item shows up as a suggested purchase with the ASUS EeePC 1015PED which is why I bought it since I wanted to upgrade to 2 GB Ram. This memory, however, is not compatible with it. Lots of researching later and your best shot is to look at Crucial's ram for this netbook. Save yourself the hassle of returning and reordering if you have this netbook (Amazon carries the crucial one).

After install worked great in my Mac Mini. Now I can install Lion. I will say that Apple does not make it easy to replace the RAM in these things.
