Comments about Crucial 2GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-8500,:

If you are at all hazy about the memory that you need, the diagnostic software is the best thing since sliced bread. It was easy to use and so clearly got the right answer that I had no hesitation in placing an order immediately. The response and immediacy of receipt of my order was excellent.

I use it to perform fairly heavy dynamic simulations in 3d software to create visual effects.
No problems with it at all - that's the way I like upgrading :).

Comments about Crucial 2GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-8500,:

Bought this to replace same size, same speed memory. Thing is this stuff runs 1066MHz at 1.8V and compared to my previous memory that required 2.2V.

This made a big difference to me, allowing me to bump my Intel Q9400 from a 3.20GHz overclock to 3.60GHz (Stock = 2.66GHz).

The memory isn't actually being overclocked at all but the lower voltage that it runs at has given me overall better stability, which is of course the most important thing.

Highly recommended.

Comments about Crucial 2GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-8500,:

I was a bit unsure about which memory would be compatable with my Asus P5Q Pro motherboard as there were some known issues with it and although Asus had not listed Crucial or Micron in their list of compatible memory suppliers Crucials memory adviser tool guaranteed this memory would work & it did.
Another great purchase from the memory experts.
Thank you Crucial.

Comments about Crucial 2GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-8500,:

Not the best, doesn't run stable at full speed, have to drop to 800.
Doesn't seem to like motherboard, but since the pair were recommended by Crucial for my motherboard, I feel a little disappointed.
I'll probably buy another manufacturers pair.
It would be nice if latency information were available to verify settings.
Bought a lot of Crucial memory before never any problems.

Sending back leaves me with no memory to run machine. Expected better.

Service & Delivery comments:

With original 667 memory it worked fine.
