I should have listened to the other bad reviews for this memory, but I thought the price was good so I had to try. Boy am I sorry! After multiple blue screens my computer finally completely crashed and Windows 8 could not even reboot. I reinstalled the old memory, reinstalled Windows 8 and then all of my programs. Am I ever glad for that back-up drive! Everything has worked perfectly since this memory has been removed. If you decide to try it, do so at your own risk. Don't let the price hook you like it did me!

Man oh man do I regret this purchase!  No available memory. The apps crash more often than they work. Once you install windows 10 and Microsoft office, only 50 mb of memory are left. You get multiple notifications regarding the memory every time you boot up, every time you try to save a simple document, and every few days because of the temporary internet files.  "Oh well," I thought. I'll just upgrade the memory and install it myself. Nope.  Can't be upgraded.  It gets worse.  The video driver needs an upgrade. Not enough memory. About 10% of the time you switch between apps, the screen just blacks out, especially between PowerPoint and Microsoft edge. Sometimes just switching tabs on internet explorer causes the screen to go black. When it comes back on, I get a message that tells me to install critical updates for the video driver. Well I can't. Worse yet, about half the time that the screen goes black, it doesn't come back on so it has to be manually restarted. This stupid computer easily triples the amount of time that it takes me to do homework. Time to bite the bullet and buy a Mac or something else that actually performs.

I have a Compaq Presario 5610 to which added this memory.  I bought 3 128mb Memory Chips, which should have made my performance much faster since I only had 96mb before I upgraded.  These chips made my performance worse, and I have since taken them out after comparing performance with the previous chips.  I would not recommend this product if you have the same model of computer that I have.  I am very disappointed, and out over $100.

I bought this memory chip to upgrade my newly purchased Asus EeePC network. I have a 1005PE, not 100HA, so when I first installed it, the computer didn't recognize the 2gb memory upgrade. Finally, I found it on the web that you have to hit F2 when the machine starts up to get into the Boot menu and disable booster. Once the machine recognizes the RAM upgrade, then enable booster back on. Other than that, install was easy and it works great.

I've had a similar experience to one of the other reviews here.  Looks like my board has a dead memory channel.  The only good news is so far Technology Galaxy has been very responsive and easy to work with on a replacement.

with all the bonus perks it's a nice machine.  My 5 year old can navigate it well.  I don't use it due to the memory constraints.  I have issues with these companies and the non upgrade-able memory.  I can buy SD cards that are nearing 1TB now but you want to charge and arm and a leg to go from 8 to 16 gb?  I like the "replace in two years" with no questions asked as electronics these days rarely last that long regardless of abuse or not.
Lack of upgrade-able memory costs this a star.

Not very happy. The memory is not user-upgradable and HP won't help me with it. So it is going to cost me $150 to install $35 worth of memory.

It's OK.

Downfalls:
How do I upgrade RAM?
Very Noisy.
Power supply cables not really there for add ons, A major pain.
Can't detach hard drive without completely disassembling case.

If you want to do upgrades at all, pass on this one.

I would not buy this again.  I would go to a computer store and have one built.

The version of Windows Vista I have on this particular computer is flawed to say the least.  I realized my computer functioned just fine until the Windows Updates were installed -- something did not jive and every time the updates took over, my computer had issues.  My computer "crash dumped" several times -- blue screen -- and there were moments when the computer's hummmmm would become a "loud" churning sound -- difficult to describe, but I believe it's the sound of the drivers and then it would crash.  Of course, this is quite upsetting considering this computer is not very old -- I cannot and should not have to keep running out to buy a new computer after spending a substantial sum of money on the one that I just bought.  I wasn't sure if my computer was a lemon or if it was a Windows Vista issue.  As I previously owned another lemon which had Win. '95 which was cured by the installation of Win. '98, I could not help but to surmise and hope that perhaps an upgrade on this computer to Win '7 would get my computer purrrring happy again.  I am so tired of troubleshooting computer issues as I believe that since they cost a healthy sum of money they should do what they are suppose to do -- WORK -- that my computer went unused for lengthy periods as I just shut it out of my mind for times out of sheer frustration over all of the computer troubleshooting I have had to do in my life.  FYI, at some point, I did a system restore and turned off Windows Updates so that I could use my computer -- another test -- though it would still crash dump at times with the blue screen.

Then, at last, I was able to purchase the Windows 7 Upgrade I have been wanting and put it to the test -- you know those funny unhealthy driver churning sounds -- well during the upgrade I believe it updated the drivers as the drivers got louder at moments.  You definitely have to download the service packs it says you must have -- I was nervous my computer would crash dump after installing them, so I was sure to immediately install the Win 7 upgrade after doing so.  It's been about a month now -- so far so good -- no blue screens and no crash dumping.  Though I do get some other funny screens and my computer does not agree with one of the subsequent updates -- these are minor issues and at least my computer has been purring otherwise.  I think it cured the Vista issues I was having -- I am scared to say it out loud as I don't want to jinx the computer.

As to Windows 7 features -- I absolutely love it.  Makes Windows even more user friendly -- my favorite new feature is that all open applications appear in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and merely pointing the mouse at one of them will show you what document is in that application; just click on the one you wish to go to -- makes maneuvering between various applications much quicker and easier.

Well, that's been my experience and there's my take so far, Ciao.

I got this thinking it would be great to have a card w/ lots of memory....wrong. This one glitches and a few of my photos were unable to be read. Upset :(

I have one of these. The 1st week it started freezing up and had to be power cycled to restart. Memorex has been spectacularly unhelpful claiming a firmware update would be available 12/12/08. Now they say it needs a fix.
Stay far away from the unit.

Put in this new memory module with clips snapping in place - computer went dead. I had to press them in further than the the clips - and, in fact, I had to remove the clips as they were in my way. Note that I have upgraded memory half a dozen times with other computers with no problem.

Once the module was inserted with great pressure - the memory was recognized and worked fine.

I purchased the gigabyte motherboard and I was looking for something really special and with the board. I have been nothing but happy UD5 rock on, but I also purchased this memory to go with the system. I didn't buy it at the same time, it was a little bit later when I had the money to get 16 GB I was so happy. But now that's all went south. The memory I purchased fell apart literally fell apart. First, I was having some problems booting into the system. I did the little check and the numbers on the gigabyte board told me that there was a memory problem. At first I thought maybe all I needed to do was reseat the memory when I tried to take the memory out and re-seated it fell apart in my hands. So I did have two sticks of 8 GB now I only have one and I am stuck until I can get another set, so I'm going to try and talk to the people at Amazon and see what they can do for me. Be careful this memory has problems. It also didn't go as fast as they said 2400 not happening. 1600,1866? maybebut 2400 know happening, but even at 1866. It was great since I had 16 GB I never bottlenecked out

Tried upgrading the ram with the crucial upgrade as suggested on here. same blank screens of death when restarted, skype is laggy as ever and its generally just slow. Considering sending it back for warranty claim. Plugged battery in today and the screen went haywire and I had to restart it. shouldnt be having problems like this with a "new" computer...  Replaced RAM, ALL GOOD!!! Lovely lil netbook couldn't be happier.

I have a Gigabyte MB I wanted to upgrade for a SATA III drive (a WD Velocitraptor) and both failed within a month. Bye bye!
