Nice RAM.
I bought this to increase the RAM in my XP Pro machine to 2 GB. It's a half height module (not what's shown in the product picture), and is physcially identical to my other Kingston KVR800D2N6 module.
It's completely stable at 800 Mhz with 6-6-6-18 timings which is important as I use this machine for work.
It's also capable of 667 Mhz @ 5-5-5-15 or 533 Mhz @ 4-4-4-12 according the JEDEC memory standard, if you're looking for RAM that works in a slower machine.
I didn't overclock it or mess with the RAM timings at the stock speed either so I can't comment further on those things.
It's also recognized by my computer as being identical to my other stick of RAM. As a result my memory subsystem is now running in Dual-Channel mode. Technically that makes the machine run about 3-5% faster depending on what I'm doing. Not that it makes much of a difference, but it's nice to be able to squeeze every ounce of performance out of your hardware without sacrificing stability.
All in all my expectations were met. 5 out of 5 stars.
Always buy Kingston
I've only bought Kingston Memory since I started building computers around five years ago. This is certainly not the fastest memory available, but I find that the latencies don't matter nearly so much as people think. I use my computer mostly for games and software development and it seems like the quantity of RAM matters more than how small the latency is. I always buy Kingston because I've found their stuff reliable, and when it does break (because everything does) their support is amazing. I've RMA'd 4 gigs of similar RAM with no hassle or issue.
Excellent
Excellent product, Excellent price, as advertised and fast, fast shipping. Will buy from again. Thank you.
Works as advertised
The Kingston ValueRam 1GB stick works well with the computer the put it in. I have not experienced any crashes nor absurdly slow processes since installing the memory stick into my computer.
Works fine
This was bought to double the memory on a relative's machine. It worked perfectly fine.
One note however: The picture of the item is incorrect, if you search for the same item PN you should find a picture of a similarly packaged, but notably smaller PCB. The memory is actually a low profile variety. For the uninitiated it may seem unusual but the comparing it with your normal sized memory stick it should make sense. The low profile type is now about half the height and the normal "snap in" point that is usually in the middle of that height is now the top corners (quarter circle cuts) of these new low profile PCBs. It is an interesting space saving adjustment. It would be interesting to see these new PCBs used on the higher end/higher capacity memory pieces.
