Yes yes yes: Computers and accessories

Great product - the speed increase from 12GB to 32GB is definitely noticeable. I have an Asus G74SX-TH71 and the installation couldn't be simpler. Slide the latch and remove the battery, remove one screw holding the back of the computer, remove the old RAM cards (push or pull on the small tabs, depending on your computer model, holding the RAM to release it move to the unlocked position). ) and insert the new RAM at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees, then push in until it snaps into place. The extra built-in fans didn't cause any space issues (and if they did, it looks like they can be removed from the RAM chip's surface without damage). The fact that this RAM is not only 204 pin for a laptop, but also DDR3 AND PC3-12800 instead of 10600 is cool! After the physical installation, the computer turned on and I was up and running, no setup required - no drivers, disks, downloads or anything like that. Note that Windows 7 is limited to a maximum of 16GB of RAM unless you have the Pro version or higher. I have Windows 8 Pro and it takes up the full 32GB.
