My old computer was being overwelmed by any new program, and often crashed,or locked up.
Now I have up to date programs which operate without the hassle of worrying about it freezing up, or crashing the entire system.

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

I have an old dinosaur of a computer. It was very slow and getting to be a real aggravation. I bought some new software that I couldn't run due to insufficient memory. I started looking into increasing my memory and was referred to Crucial by a retailer. Crucial analyzed my system and made recommendations for increasing the memory. I ordered what was suggested and actually installed it myself. I am absolutely amazed at the results. My computer works again!!!
Thanks Crucial!

I have increased memory with this item but the price seemed a bit high but this is OK as it works. Other memory cards I tried did not work as nobody had this item with CL-2 rating. Guess that is the way things go with old computer.

My desktop is WAY obsolete; but I like it anyways, and have upgraded it every possible way... this being the final possible "hot rod". It was impossible to find this part anywhere else, and [...], that was a bit of lagniappe ("bonus" if you are not Cajun!). Although it did not make my PC hella-faster; multi tasking seems to be better! Thanks so much! Andrew

I didn't notice a speed increase. There may have been one, but it must have been minimal. The chip search used by Crucial worked great. It really made ordering the memory chip easy. There were no conflicts and Windows XP easily recognized the chip.

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

Since I had my computer upgraded to Service Pack III, it would sometimes take 15 minutes or more to open my e-mail, or even write something to word! The graph that shows how you could expect your performance to improve is really not so accurate. I'm so glad I just went for the max memory. The few extra dollars was nothing compared to the frustration it eliminated. I'm finally back in business!

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

I'd ordered other memory and it didn't work, perhaps a mis-match or not installing in pairs. Anyhow, the Crucial site was recommended and the analyzer automatically chose memory for me. It works and my older Compac Presario 5000 (running XP) now has 512MB rather than 192MB. It does not seem to run any faster or do anything any better. But at least I know I'm giving it my best shot and maybe I'll even be able to add SP2. The memory showed up in my mailbox sooner than predicted. I'd order from Crucial again if I needed something.

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

Since I am new to the product and this company but I will say it did as was advertised. The longevity of the product is yet to be know by me. Not a bad thing because most memory modules if they work when installed and they check out without any errors by the system they usually last for years.

Wow, I have been wanting to upgrade my memory for quite awhile now, but for the guy at the store to be able to sell me memory he needed my computer...a problem when the nearest store is an hour away. I saw an ad in a mag that said crucial could help in just minutes...and after loging on they promptly shipped my new memory. With their easy instalation instructions I was able to upgrade my memory and make my computer great again. Thanks crucial for the help.
