Packaging for PC2-6400 Can someone please tell me what packaging they're receiving this Crucial RAM upgrade in? In the past, I've gotten factory-sealed, fully-labeled, unopened, secure packaging. This time, when I ordered the PC2-6400 2gb for my Samsung NC10 -- it was bouncing around in a no-frills small plastic box with just a minimal label saying "Crucial" on the top -- and then directed to their website for other info. I'm afraid it may be refurbished or bruised from the loose packing. Also -- what other brand do you recommend besides Crucial?Thank you for your responses. I appreciate it.

L.F. -- Thank you for your reply. I was just a bit hesitant whether it was refurbished, etc -- I've decided to put it in.

The packaging I received with the Crucial 2 GB memory update was plastic with printed Blue/White background and a bar-coded label that read:2GB200Pin DDR2 SODIMM256MX64PC2 - 5300CT25664AC667The chip itself moved around freely in the plastic. Thus far the chip (2 weeks) seems to be working fine.

I ordered this memory direct from Crucial and it arrived in a package just like you described. It worked great.I have only used Crucial memory, it always works great.

I know this is a bit after the fact, but just in case it helps others...I ordered mine from Crucial, and it came in clear hard plastic packaging that says "anti-static packaging - eso safe" on it, and it is most certainly not loose or bouncing around. It fits securely inside the package that appears to be molded perfectly for this product. The RAM module itself has a Crucial label on it that said removal (of the sticker) would void the warranty.I don't remember what else is on the sticker and I pretty much stripped the screws so I can't really open up my netbook to check...I too have only purchased Crucial, and highly recommend their product.

Hi Robert, "critter number one" gave you the most thorough answer you could probably get. When I bought mine I used Crucial's memory selector to select the Crucial RAM I bought... you can trust its site and the memory selector it employs on the site. That particular 4GB kit included 2- 2 gb 240 pin DDR2 DIMM ELC Unbuffered PC2 RAM to replace some Kingstons that were under-performing. Hope that helps. Dennis

Please go to Crucial.com and install their tool. They will tell you what ram to use. It is a free utility, and does a wonderful and correct job. It has never given me the incorrect information. This is where everyone should start to select the correct ram. All I did, was gave a critical review of the ram I installed, at the recommendation of this utility. You can't go wrong.

Mine is working flawlessly and was sealed and pristine condition. It is 2GB and I upgraded mine from the same configuration. Installing it isn't too difficult either. Enjoy.

Has anyone installed this on a Samsung NP700Z5B-S01UB? I need to know if the install is easy. Many reviews of the crucial M500 with the easy install disk and cable report difficulty. I assume the EVO version is similar to the M500 install kit so I wanted to know if anyone has had issues. I need it to work the first time as I cant go one day without my comp. thanks.

I kept a pdf of the original ad stating 2gb max. and would notify them you were misled that it was upgradeable. False advertising and marketing with most retail sites also had the memory chip being offered as a bundle for extra dough and usually advertised on same page.I had pre-ordered the u120 but after found out no memory upgrades possible, canceled before it shipped. I went with the u100-641(black) sata for future upgrading hd. Upgraded memory to 2gb and purchased a 9cell battery from hongkong, still came out cheaper than the 6cell wind.

I guess you need to buy the one from Crucial, I bought one non-branded that came from a HP Laptop with the same specs as the OEM but 2 gb and didn't work, good luck!

US version N110-12PBK has 2GB RAM max on specs, i did not find one single difference between N110-12PBK and NC10 SE (even the price is identical). It looks N110 will be available for purchase around April 20th in US (it's on pre-order almost on all sites). I'm thinking to buy it, where did you see 1GB max, it could really change my choice.http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=computersperipherals&type;=mobilecomputing&subtype;=mininotebook&mode;l_cd=NP-N110-KA01USthank youjiri

I have been quite happy with my ASUS 1015PED Netbook that I actually never ended up purchasing this memory upgrade. I did shop around a little more and found that this one still is the most recemended. It is a great deal as well, which is why it is usually out of stock.I would recomend this one and I may still get this one. However for right now, I upgraded my ASUS netbook to Windows 7 Professional and it runs great. No need for more memory right now.Sorry I can't be of more help.

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

Hello, I just finished buying an ASUS 1000HE (literally within the past hour or so), but while I wait for it to get shipped, I was wondering if I should also opt for the memory upgrade. Seems, cheap and effortless to install, I'm just curious, have you noticed a significant difference in performance? Thanks.

There is a comment box when you order, that you would normally use to give shipping instructions, etc. I left a note asking that the company call me and gave my telephone number. They called me and I gave them credit card info on the telephone (to pay for the extra RAM) and they fixed it up for me without any problems.

Altho mine came looking like it was professionally packaged at the factory I doubt it would be covered by Lenovo since it has been modified so much. I can add tho, I have not had any issues at all. Everything is still functioning perfectly and definitely faster than the stock Lenovo made unit. I appreciate the speed boost over stock. I'm hoping they give us a 4K monitor next.

My computer works fine with the original 1gb ram chip so I am wondering if it was the 2gb chip I installed that caused the problem. I originally bought the crucial 800ghz module rather than the 667 as I had read that it would not cause any problems even if the computer could not fully use the 800. The Asus website does not even list this computer, let alone the memory recommendation so I am at a loss. I returned the 800 to Amazon but hate to replace it with the 667 in case that is not the correct memory either. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Try the Crucial website - www.crucial.com -they have an excellent detailed compatibility info service called 'Crucial Memory Advisor' tool. It solved my problem by definitely telling me that PC5300 DDR2 memory was perfectly compatible on my old Dell system which called for PC3200 DDR2 - PC3200 DDR2 is practically unobtainable now. I bought the PC5300 and it DID work perfectly. Thank you Crucial. BTW, the PC5300 I bought was not made by Crucial - I am NOT a salesman for Crucial!

I upgraded with no issues. I used this Kingston Value RAM from home depot, and it works great in my Gateway (I have the LT2032u - same as the LT2030u, but in Black).http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/469115/Kingston-KVR667D2-2GR-DDR2-Memory-Upgrade/However, the price is a bit high at the moment. I only paid $32 on sale, and it's back up to the regular price of $49.

I upgraded with 2MB of 200 pin DDR2 - 667 MHz PC5300 with no problem. The brand was Corsair but I also understand Kingston works well also. I bought it at Fry's Electronics for $28.99 with a $10.00 mail-in rebate making it $18.99.
