Review on High-Performance Samsung OWC 4.0GB PC3-10600 DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM Memory - Boost Your System's Speed and Efficiency by Abdalla Galloway

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked straight away: Computer and accessories

I bought this for an old ASUS Eee PC 1025C and was able to upgrade to 4GB of RAM on the first try. If anyone tries to do this. Please note that this might not be such a good idea if you intend to keep Windows as your operating system as Intel has not updated the GMA 3600 drivers for 64-bit versions and there is no good solution to this problem. Therefore, even if you upgrade to 4 GB of RAM in 10 or 7 in the 32-bit version, only 2.99 GB of RAM will be recognized. flash accordingly. I did this under an Atom N2800 processor after changing the BIOS to allow 64-bit instructions. I was able to install a 64-bit linux distro which worked and was fine in my case with full RAM. But on Windows, although I was able to install Win 10 and 7 64 with 4GB, I couldn't get a better resolution than 800x600, which wasn't my game and I won't recommend it. Since the PC was nothing for a Linux user. Had to stay on Win 7 32bit with upgrade to only 3GB RAM :(

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
