A memory upgrade was just what I needed and I'm glad I found it here. It cost me way less than I expected to double the amount of RAM I had in my computer and it works great. What a great deal! The time it took to come to my house after I had placed the order was very fast as well!

I would like to say I had great service from Crucial. Ordering was easy and you made it straightforward to find the right memory. [...]he price was right. But most importantly when I had difficulty doing the installation and [...] you at Crucial were extremely helpful. You stayed on the phone with me, reassured me that the memory cards are normally tight, you walked me through each step and never made me feel rushed, even staying on the phone with me while I turned my computer on after each card install and made sure the computer recognized the memory. I would definitely buy again from you and I really appreciate your good customer service.

[...] did not disappoint. I use a 17-inch Intel Core 2 Duo Macintosh, primarily for schoolwork, research, and music creation. Previously, my 512mb of RAM left applications skipping and stalling. Now, I can open and move freely between large applications like Garageband, Word, and Firefox rather seamlessly——an immediate and noticeable difference.
