Didn't work in my computer; have had to buy new computer. Would have been useful if I'd been told this before I ordered! Will be sending it back.

Crucial - UK Response: If the memory did not fit, you need a different kind of memory. Please contact us with your make and model and we will assist.

Comments about Crucial 256MB, 168-pin DIMM, SDRAM, PC133,:

It was good to be able to identify the correct memory for our nine year old computer... an additional 256MB made all the difference to its modest performance (AMD processor, 900MHz, 512MB RAM, running XP Professional), scary stuff!

Comments about Crucial 256MB, 168-pin DIMM, SDRAM, PC133,:

At last - memory which has the correct architecture to be recognised as full size by this ancient Intel SR440BX motherboard. Everything else I've been able to try recently has only been recognised as half size, even from a supplier who stated that the memory supplied had the correct architecture!
Used with Pentium-3 500MHz; WinXP sp3 (Yes, it DOES work, but s-l-o-w-l-y!). Increasing RAM from 256MB to maximum supported 500MB has resulted in greatly reduced disk swapping.

I just wanted to increase memory and the difference this installation has made to my day to day use of my desktop is brilliant. (Does what it says on the tin!) The installation instructions were foolproof and illustrations were clear.
