Very good RAM for the price.

I bought these to upgrade my Windows 7 Core 2 Duo system. I previously had 2GB of RAM on Windows 7 32-bit. My system is relatively fast, but I definitely felt like it needed a RAM upgrade. I used the CPU/RAM widget in Windows and it was always using around 40-50% of my idle RAM! Now, after the update, the standby RAM usage is around 20%. Has the meaning. I looked online for a few more technical reviews for this RAM and yes it won the Best of Tom's Hardware award. For the best value for money. I didn't do a full RAM test (which anyone can do by downloading the Ubuntu installer ISO online. It's a bootable memtest! CD free!), but I'll post the results later. Upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit to take full advantage of the 4GB of RAM. If you're still using Windows 7 32-bit after installing new RAM, it will only use about 3.25GB of RAM, not all 4. Has something to do with network card memory allocation or something. All in all it was a good buy. Good RAM for the money. PS It works very well with my ASUS P5QC laptop. Haven't tried overclocking RAM yet.edit: ran ram test. Perfect! no mistakes. :)
