KVR333SO/512R Kingston, Very Much Worth It

Very Much Worth It

My Dell Inspiron 8600 running Windows XP with 512 MB RAM worked well up until a year or so ago. The amount of memory needed to run the system gradually creeped beyond 512MB and the system spent much time paging and thrashing, with very slow response for even trivial actions. I finally bought a single 1 GB sodimm to replace one of the 256 MB modules. Now it has ~1.25 GB of RAM and doesn’t need to page any more, and is very responsive.

Easy to install if you’ve done this kind of thing before. The included instructions are minimal, but no doubt you can google to find detailed directions on replacing memory, or consult the PC manufacturer’s doc.

Well worth the cost and trouble.

Received 512Mb memory, beware!
I have received twice a 512Mb memory instead of the 1Gb memory that is advertised, be carefull.
