CrucialRAM CT102464BD160B 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 Desktop Memory , Green

Been getting fed up with my 4 year old pc.After watching YouTube videos about laptops I realised I should look at how much memory my pc has because maybe I could upgrade the memory to boost performance.using Mr. Memory website and using their tool it gave me memory upgrades and I searched amazon for compatible memory sticks. Found this and within 2 days I upgraded the memory. Took out the 4gb that was in the pc for this 8gb stick from crucial who I know are big pc accessories company and what can I say. My pc feels like new I can open up programs much quicker it zips through my work flow. Thinking whether I will add another 8gb but rest assured the crucial stick does what it should. comes in a simple plastic cover. It's very simple to install and really does the job. Feel confident that your getting the real deal here. My only gripe if I have one is that for memory needed for a 4yr old pc £40 is a bit expensive but it's still cheaper than buying a new pc that will do more or less the same thing as what you have now. Very happy customer

It appears that my old (10 yrs +) PC with hard disc drive was 'Disc Bound'. Under advice I changed out the hard drive for a Solid State Disc drive and upgraded the memory. I've used Crucial before and it's always given good service. The effect of this upgrade was surprisingly dramatic. Not only was it much faster but unexpectedly much more stable. Money well spent!

I wanted to upgrade my ageing 5th gen PC, and have my pc to be more capable of video editing and running multiple apps, I already have Kingston 8GB ram installed which has been reliable since 2014, and decided to get the crucial 16gb DDR3 1600mhz. I chose this as I knew that Crucial is reliable and will work flawlessly with my Kingston fury memory. As a footnote you can mix different brands of memory as along as the speed is the same. I now have the 24GB RAM and my system is stable and performs well with Photoshop/ and video editor without any crashes or bluescreen. I have used Crucial previously in my laptops and have had many years of service without any issues. I recommend this item for anyone who wants to upgrade their PC without comprising on the quality and the performance.

Crucial is a name I've floated between for more years than I care to mention. Many years ago, you just selected the right size and speed of your RAM you needed, paid for it...and installed it. Simple! Well...kind of simple...if you knew how. As technology has marched on, DDR has turned to 2, then 3 and now DDR 4 or beyond. Motherboard technology has also marched on a pace, with more boards than you could possibly imagine. This means that your choice of memory to motherboard is a bewildering jungle to try to converse and find the right memory for your precious computer. Thankfully if you visit Crucial's website armed with the make and model of your motherboard, their website will point you in the right direction. A recent AMD FX build threw a demand for DDR3 RAM, checked the website and went straight for 8gb. Vital for running Windows 10 on because less than 8gb of RAM on a system with Win10 is asking for frustrating times. I will, in time, buy another 8gb of the same RAM to give that build more headroom. And if you asked me if I could recommend Crucial memory for general day to day work and light gaming or decent workloads... then yes... wholeheartedly. If you want "gaming" performance, sling more cash into higher frequency....bigger sized....faster paced RAM which Crucial and their competitors will offer you. Then hey...Crucial will help you out with that need too. Speaking from experience I can honestly say that this type of RAM is a jack of all trades. Most systems these days will need a maximum of 16gb unless you're doing some serious workloads. And...I...MEAN... SERIOUS. So the short of it is. Is this item worth your money? Yes. Yes it is. Hope this review helps.

Straight in and working like all memory. Packaged well, but pricey for older memory.

The Crucial memory arrived quickly and is a perfect fit in my desktop computer. AH. DIREKT are an Amazon Market Place dealer and based on my purchase, I would definitely recommend.If you are not buying your Crucial memory directly from Crucial, then to be absolutely sure that you are getting the right module for your system, I would suggest that you go onto Crucial’s web site. There, you can have them check your computer system online, to advise you which of their memory modules, if any, are going to work with your computer. You just have to download a small program from the Crucial web site and run it. It will give you all the necessary advice as to exactly what you can fit into your computer. It will advise if you have any spare memory slots, or if not, might suggest that you could remove and discard existing memory to upgrade to a higher memory capacity. All you have to do then, is either buy the suggested memory directly from Crucial, or buy from elsewhere using the exact module specified by the Crucial program. AH DIREKT were cheaper.If you have never been inside your computer before, when doing so, ensure that the computer is switched off and the power lead removed. Then to prevent static, which could damage delicate electronics inside the computer, touch a bare metal surface, not a computer component. Be sure to locate the precise memory slot that you are going to use for the new memory module and then orientate the memory, so that the small slot in between the gold connectors on the memory module, will fit onto the peg within the memory slot on the motherboard. It should fit exactly into the slot – no overhang. Press your memory module into its slot using evenly spaced, gentle, but firm, pressure. If located properly, all of the memory’s gold connectors should have disappeared into the memory slot. Do not over exert.
