Product Description

Viking Components
Guaranteed Compatibility
View a listing of PCs, notebooks, PDAs, digital cameras, or other products that are guaranteed compatible with this Viking product. Making sure you have guaranteed compatibility is very important because of the hundreds of different brands, types, and configurations of memory available. As a result, memory that works in one product doesn't necessarily work in another--and there's nothing more frustrating than buying something you can't use.

Because compatibility is so critically important, Amazon has forged a strategic relationship with Viking Components and created the Memory Finder. The Memory Finder is a tool that can help you find memory that works with your specific product, taking the guesswork out of buying memory.

Benefits of Additional Memory
Below are listed just a few of the many reasons to purchase additional memory:

Increased Speed: Increasing your computer's memory will speed up access times and translates to faster processing speeds. For example, doubling the memory in your computer often results in 50 percent faster data processing.

Increased Power: Increasing your computer's memory will enable it to process more data. You can have more windows and documents open at the same time. Computer game play becomes faster and more fluid, and high-end graphic programs perform more quickly.

Increased Performance: Increasing your computer's memory can decrease the amount of times your computer crashes. The number one reason for "blue screens" in Windows is because the computer runs out of available memory to carry out a function.

Cost Savings: Adding more memory to your computer can lead to dramatic increases in performance for a relatively low price. In some cases, it can even eliminate the need to purchase a new computer thus saving you hundreds of dollars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value for the Money!, December 13, 2000

By	Keith LaBorde (Marietta, GA) - See all my reviews

Purchased this adapter to go with my two 64MB SmartMedia Cards purchased here on Amazon.com. I purchased a Olympus D490Z Camera recently, and wanted these accessories to handle more storage and quick retrival with my Notbook Computer. Don't let the Camera Vendors over charge you on accessories. Viking products work great with the Olympus brand cameras.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, no problems, March 26, 2001

By	David Miller "djmjr" (OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm using this product to read the SmartMedia cards from my Fuji Finepix 1400 digital camera. My laptop is old and doesn't have a USB port, so I chose to go the PCMCIA route instead. It works very well with the Windows 95 OS I have installed, and detected drivers automatically. Whenever I pop a memory card in (I have 8 MB and 4 MB), a window pops up with the card's directory (it is read as a removeable harddrive). Very nice. The memory card slides completely in the PCMCIA card, with a little floppy-disk-eject-button-like tab to push it back out. I really like this product. The only complaint I would have is that you have to look up installation info online (the card comes sealed in a static bag with labels on it... no box or instructions).

4.0 out of 5 stars Way better than connecting cables, November 28, 2002

By A Customer

I like this adapter! It works as advertised and the pcmcia card is better to carry around than the cable. The reason for only 4 stars: I asked a question via their website (warranty activation). The automated response promises contact within 24 hours, but havent heard from them in for 3 days. I will try again.
