No problem, outstanding memory

Strengths: easy installation, maximized installation, and also reasonabel price.

Weakness: none

Outstanding Product. My dell vostro laptop performs like a charm once I inserted these in. Corsair didn't upset me as an outstanding brand.

The memory itself is pretty easy to install. But my vostro 1500's design gave me a hard time. Really don't know why they put one memory slot under keyboard. That's such a ridiculous design. Vostro owners may need to be careful to avoid harm to the motherboard or keyboard during the process.

Corsair 2GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SODIMM Dual Channel Memory...

Strengths: Performance, Price, compatablility and will make you keep Vista:)

Weakness: None!

Bought this for my Dell Vostro 1500. Took longer to open up the second dimm slot (under the keyboard) than to install this memory. But once installed vista runs faster! Hated that it came with Vista but with 2GB i haven't had any problems! Greatly noticed it on my boot time and my shut down time.

If you catch this on sale (after rebate) buy this kit and upgrade your notebook computer. YOU WIll be happy and your notebook will too!

Corsair PC2-5300 DDR2 SODIMM

Strengths: They worked in different laptops

Weakness: none

It runs smoothly in my Vostro 1400. The 2GB helps quite a bit in loading large spreadsheets. It was an easy installation. Eventhough they are keyed, I went through installation quickly I almost got them in backward.

2gb pc2-5300 ddr2 sodimm memory kit

Strengths: improved performance

Weakness: does not register as 2gb, only registers at 1.73gb

Dissappointed the moduals do not seem to be full 2gb as advertised, but other than that I am pleased with the performance of my computer using vista home premium after the instalation of the memory chips. the computer came with 1gb the incresed memory really improved the performance

Your computer is using 256MB as shared video memory. The RAM is fine.

2GB PC2-5300 DDR2 Sodimm Kit

Strengths: Speed, price.

Weakness: none

Purchased this for my Toshiba that came with only a 512mb dimm and running vista. As others have said it will help the load speed of vista. A friend recommended this brand name and at a good price. If i ever need to purchase any other memory i will make sure to look at this company.

Make sure your laptop is compatible with this ram. It is ddr2 and not ddr.

Corsair DDR2 SODIMM (1GBx2)

Strengths: reasonably priced, works great.

Weakness: none.

I ordered from FRYS.com for the price of $40 after rebate which I think is reasonable. The products worked right out from the package, my Acer laptop with Vista Home runs great with the 1GBx2 memory pack, highly recommended.

stable memory for laptop upgrading

Strengths: stability, brand name

Weakness: none

I bought the package a few months ago for upgrading my ThinkPad laptop. The two pieces in the package were very stable and compatible with my laptop. I have no problem with them after a few months of daily using under windows Vista. And the price is very reasonable comparing with other models and brands.

Must Do Upgrade for Mac Mini

Strengths: Inexpensive, Lifetime Warranty, Excellent Performance

Weakness: None so far

I used this memory to upgrade RAM for my Mac Mini and it's an amazing improvement. It's a great deal and you get to pair the 2 available SDRAM banks with the same type of memory which gives better performance than chips of different sizes/specs.

Highly Recommended!

Great memory

Strengths: Good compatability, good price.

Weakness: None.

Bought this kit for my Dell laptop. Pulled out the original 512MB, installed these in. Upon boot up, the laptop automatically did a memory test and passed on first try. Now I have a dual-channel 2GB!!

Vista now will only take less than 40 seconds to load. Before this upgrade, it takes more than twice as long. When I'm using the computer, the programs open/close are noticeably faster and smoother.

Worth the price!! Very happy with this product.

Good upgrades for laptops

Strengths: Easy to install, good compatibility. Works fine with my T61!~

Weakness: nothing so far

This memory has a good compatibility and Works fine with my T61!~ I used to be using Window XP on 512m. Now with 2G on XP, I don't feel a substantially faster speed, but everything works smoothly. So I am satisfied with it. For the current ongoing price, I recommend everyone to have at least 2G for their new laptop and to buy separately to save more money.

Furthermore, Corsair is one of the best in the memeory industry. I trust their quality and will buy their products again.

2GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SODIMM Dual Channel Memory Kit...

Strengths: Good Compatibility and Great Value

Weakness: None so far

Easy to install and improved perfermace of my laptop. Installed it in a Toshiba Satellite with only 512MB so the difference in RAM made a huge difference. These are great value RAM for the 2GB it provides. So far there seems to be no problems, I will eventually install Vista and I hope this will help improve the performace of Vista.

Work with my Fujitsu S2210

Strengths: --

Weakness: --

This Corsair memory kit (2 of 1GB modules) works well with my Fujitsu S2210 laptop. (AMD Turion 64 x2) My computer starts up Windows XP with out any problem. No bluescreen is observed. The price is also reasonable with good quality, even thought it is the low-end memory of Corsair.

Works exactly as it's supposed to!

Strengths: It works. Gives you enough RAM to actually run Windows Vista.

Weakness: None

2GB of ram is a must have when moving to windows vista and this kit makes it easy as it gives you all that you need to reach this goal. This ram installed easily in my Dell Vostro 1400 and now vista is moving along at a decent speed. Still not as fast as XP but that is the fault of microsoft and not this ram.

DDR2 SODIMM 667MHZ 2*1GB

Strengths: speed and reliability

Weakness: none

It seems like CORSAIR is a new recognizable brand in computer memory industry. This 2gb memory kit has two 1gb memory sticks for laptop computers. I didn't find any problem after I upgraded my computer. The outlook/design is very neat with high quality. Would recommend to other buyers.

great performance at a great price

Strengths: 2 gbs of memory for $50 AR at frys.com lifetime warranty CL4

Weakness: cant beat this deal especially with CL4

installed fine on my macbook as i had hoped. to the very first reviewer, the sticks probably came up as 1.7 gb because of your integrated graphics taking a chunk to use as video memory.

all in all. great pair of memory and corsair is a brand i definately trust

This memory works great

Strengths: performance

Weakness: Heat

I bought this kit from Frys to replace my HP laptop's 2X512mb memory. This one works great, just install and play. the performace is improved a lot. the only thing I don't like is the memory generate heat much more than the old 1G memory.

Works great!

Strengths: Easy to install.

Weakness: have not found any.

I bought this for my MacBook, which was very slow when a few applications were running. It would take forever to open a large picture file. I am not good at computer stuff. But following the installation instruction from MacBook manual, it only took me less than 10 min to get these pair in. And the Macbook recognized them immediately after I restart the computer. So far it has been three weeks, I am quite happy with it.

VS2GSDSKIT667D2

Strengths: price

Weakness: non

when you shop for a RAM upgrade, you have to decide for yourself whenever the price/(specs+quality) ratio is good for you. For this particular SODIMMs, I liked the price (from newegg) and the specs. I ran Memtest86, and it looks that the quality is also good so far.

Inexpensive fast laptop memory upgrade

Strengths: Worked very nicely in my HP 5220 laptop in order for Vista to work well.

Weakness: none

Corsair has a very good reputation in my computing needs. They offer quality and performance for a great price. You will need at least 2 GB of Ram for a Vista computer to work efficiently.
