Comments about Crucial 2GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300,:

8gb should mean that Windows 7 64-bit will load quickly and perform quickly. Whilst I'm sure this memory is perfectly reliable I found that it was very slow and made performance worse whic was a real suprise. I found that PC6400 memory works much better with Windows 7 and when I put my "old" memory back in Windows 7 booted in less than 40 seconds, compared to 3.5 minutes (yes really) with this memory. Not Crucial's fault just a feature of the way the memory interacted on my motherboard, so I've returned it and will get 4gb of PC6400 from Crucial - also impressed with their customer service folks as well :-)

Intel's own specification says otherwise so I entered that into the search and found this to be the only memory supplied so I bought it and it does work. Provides the motherboard with the maximum RAM it supports.

4gb would not work in my machine despite the crucial scanner advising that my machine would accept 2 banks of 2gb. With some further checking in Google it appears that the Dell Optiplex 320 will only accept upto a maximum of 2gb. I am now left with 2gb spare

Comments about Crucial 2GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300,:

Adding the recommended 8Gb memory (max for my application) has made my computer fly, instant boot-up, blistering quick opening of MS office applications & multi-tasking is no longer the hit and miss process I experienced pre-memory upgrade THANKS Crucial. Price! well the last time I bought a memory upgrade it cost me £120 for 2MB from a high street store, name (chicken tikka is one) talking of curries I think you should call this upgrade a vindaloo, toilet rolls in the fridge it's that hot!!! Now where can I get that TB Hardisc from so I can start to rule the world in seconds, that is once I've got of the loo.

Comments about Crucial 2GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300,:

I recently ordered a pair of the above memory sticks to compliment 2 I had from Crucial earlier. Unfortunately, when I put them into my machine it wouldn't boot. Initially, I thought I must have done something wrong, because I have never had a problem with Crucial memory before. However, when I checked the memory with Memtest one of the sticks turned out to be faulty. I contacted Crucial got a RMA and was impressed by how quickly they got a new memory stick out to me. The computer is now running fine.
