5.0 out of 5 stars So Far So Good..., August 1, 2011

This review is from: Crucial Ballistix 4 GB (2x2 GB) DDR2-800 CL4 2.0V Memory Kit with EPP BL2CP25664AA80A (Personal Computers)

The RAM came packaged in a box with the bubble pockets and it was in its original plastic shell packaging like you'd see at the store.

Let me just say to the manufacturer a hearty Thank You for finally making these clamshell packages user friendly by perforating the back for easy opening.

I had the RAM installed in minutes and the computer up and running a few minutes later with a quick romp through BIOS to set the required numbers. You can find that information at the Crucial web site. I highly recommend going there before you buy. They have a very cool utility that you can run that will tell you exactly what RAM is compatible with your motherboard. They guarantee compatibility. You also get to feel good about buying it cheaper at Amazon than their site :p

Once you've identified the correct RAM for your computer be very careful that you are actually purchasing the right RAM here. Amazon's search engine returns near misses. So you may end up on a page that looks correct but the mfg number is off by one or two characters.

I've had the RAM for about 5 weeks now and no problem. Well, I have had problems but not RAM related I'm happy to say. I like Crucial's reputation for handling RMAs too.

8 Gig of RAM woohoo!

I have been reading about this modual, for about 5 months now, After reading reviews, one of them toms hardware.com, like anything man made, there are good points and there are bad ones, but the good out weighed the bad, a hundred fold, So i ordered them, I wasnt supprised when i installed them, imediatly after i booted up i noticed the change in speed and, bootup time, also the dreaded hourglass wait, is now a thing of the past, as long as i keep my PC free of spyware, trojans,adware, etc, im fine. When my system, slows down, i no i just need to run my, super antispy, and anti virus, clean the registry, and defragment. These 4 steps alone will boost your performance two fold. Then im up and running fast again, i would recomend this memory kit 100% Ronn King

This review is from: Crucial Ballistix 4 GB (2x2 GB) DDR2-800 CL4 2.0V Memory Kit with EPP BL2CP25664AA80A (Personal Computers)

Initially I had memory and system instability issues with this RAM. After doing some toubleshooting online I found that most motherboards power their RAM @ 1.8V and that this RAM is unstable at slower speeds. This is high performance RAM and works best when properly powered and properly timed.

Since the RAM worked so well after fixing the power and timings I ordered another 4GB from Amazon and man this PC screams. My apps load faster and I can multitask with various apps and browsers open at the same time without putting my PC under too much load.

Pays for itself in my increased productivity! 5* Product After Properly Configured in BIOS. I have a feeling some of these low rated Amazon reviews suffered from the same issues I did initially due to improperly configured PCs.
