Is this worth the extra price over the 'Crucial Ballistix Sport" RAM? I was originally going to buy this because it looks cool :P

Don't get those, found something with lower timing, like cas latency 9Sometimes newegg has better price...

I think they are one of the best and they have life time warranty I don't know if ballistix has that

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide. Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round. also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

Glad to answer Mic, It's been over two years since I purchased my set. I think I paid something over $500.00 for my four Corsair Dominators. They were the top of the line of maybe the most recommended RAM. I bought them after returning an intermediate level set of Corsair RAM. I wanted to get the fastest speed of execution. I tested my original lowest (cheapest, or lowest of the five levels, which I took out of my older computer), an intermediate Corsair set (which was my first choice for my new computer), and ultimately the Dominator set (which I bought after returning the intermediate set) for speed, doing the exact same operations on all three sets. I was surprised to find that all three executed the operations at close to the same speed. The Dominator set was maybe 5% faster. I thought about returning the Dominator set for the set I had ordered previously, but ended up keeping it. There may be quality of preparation and testing of the Dominator series that makes it a reliable and more durable memory, and so far mine has worked well. But memory has no moving parts, and I think I remember reading that memory, or RAM, is about the most dependable component of computer hardware anyway. If I were to build from scratch again, which is what I did, I would spend less on memory and more on something else. You certainly could buy the Dominator series, but the extra money you spend, by my experience, won't show up in daily performance. That's how I feel about the Dominator series for myself. I hope you found something helpful. Bill Stockich Best wishes, Bill Stockich

I use that ram on my this MB. I can confirm it works just fine. You just have to select the correct xmp profile to get it to run at 2400mhz

I haven't done it yet, but it shouldnt't affect your ability to upgrade your ram. If anything it will only help your performance.

Servers usually use ECC ram, not non-ecc ram. This crucial ballistix kit is non-ECC ram. The ram will work, but you won't get the ECC features.The difference is robustness and uptime.

This RAM did not work for me & I had to return it. For your computer I would recommend this for sure it will work & save you a major headache >> http://www.crucial.com/store/ListParts.aspx?model=Special%20Edition%20L2005CO

It means it's awesome and you should buy it. I have bought these exact RAM 5 times, never any complaints from my customers. Plus RAM is usually the most functioning part on a computer, so you should just go with famous brands and the amount of RAM you want. In other words, buy these, you will like them.

Hello, We are currently selling this model only as configured. If you'd like to upgrade the RAM for this model you can find memory upgrade kits from other vendors. The 4GB kits are currently running approximately $40-$60 from other vendors & the 8GB upgrade kits are currently priced around $89 - $110 from other vendors. To upgrade the RAM, you would need to replace the 2 existing memory modules. This model is officially capable of supporting up to 4GB maximum RAM; but third party vendors also sell 8GB upgrade kits for this model that reportedly work fine. This model has 2 memory slots and supports 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs. Thank you, Discount Macs

It is better, unless you specifically need to overclock. I get the feeling that the added threads are more useful than a couple ghz, but it depends on what you want to do, and how much price matters to you.

Most likely Yes but......., I have used this memory in a S55-B but had problems with it. I talked to Crucial about it and they suggested not to use the Ballistix in my pc because it was "finicky" You might try this "standard" memory Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3-1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) 204-Pin SODIMM Notebook Memory CT2KIT102464BF160B / CT2CP102464BF160B

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.

The photos on the Be Quiet web site show what appears to be standard memory sticks in place but with little clearance. So, be safe and get the Crucial Ballistix Tactical Low Profile memory and give them room to breath. Right now, there is only an $11 difference- stay with Crucial.

If this is the recommended RAM size then YES, Komputerbay is one of the best brands you can buy and save yourself some cash.
