Review on πŸ”₯ High-Performance 2x2GB DDR2 (4GB Kit) 800MHz Desktop Memory: PC2-6400 CL6 240Pin 1.8V Non-ECC Unbuffered UDIMM RAM by Brian Campbell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well for a much lower price.

I was looking for a low profile RAM kit to increase the capacity of my small form factor desktop (actually more for media center use). I used 2x4GB Samsung RAM from the start, but 8GB got a bit cramped at times. The mITX motherboard didn't have an additional memory slot, so I had to replace the existing RAM instead of adding it to get to 16GB. I also needed a low profile option as my CPU cooler has limited space (and everything is so cramped and cramped in this tiny case). I was basically left with 2 options and this unknown Asian brand was 40% cheaper than the other. There was no rating at the time so I was a bit apprehensive about trying it but I went ahead anyway because worst case scenario I could still get the RAM back and keep using my Samsung 8GB. The new RAM arrived quickly and in a pretty nice package, the materials looked like regular computer components from well-known brands. I replaced my old Samsung and installed the 2x8GB I just got, booted the system and it worked flawlessly, the timings and frequencies were perfectly defined and set up, the full capacity was visible and available for Windows. as expected for any other memory. A few months have passed since the purchase, no problem to report, everything is fine. I would buy again if I had a need.
