Kingston ValueRAM 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KVR800D2N5K2/4G

Pros: cheap

Cons: caused my computer to crash about every 10 minutes.. have a shuttle xpc glamour and the company web page sayd this memory was tested and works, but it does not...

Pros: still in my desktop PC

Cons: none

Pros: Inexpensive, worked with no fuss.

Cons: None. It is not a high performance RAM, but I did not buy it for that reason.

Other Thoughts: I have been buying and using Kingston ValueRAM for over ten years. I use computers for software development, where CPU horsepower is more important than eking out an additional 1% of RAM speed to boost my FPS. So I don't care about top-performing RAM. If you want an additional 2 FPS in your game, do NOT buy this RAM: if you are not a hardcore gamer and just want more gigabytes, you cannot beat this memory.

Pros: Great Value as the name says...but the did not work. Period. NewEgg's RMA process was awesome! Very simply, no hassel return! NewEgg ROCKS!!!

Cons: Would not work when installed the HP desktop I was repairing. Didn't try it in another system so can't tell you that it was DOA but several other posts with same problem surrounding this RAM. First problem I've ever had from Kingston. I will still buy their products. Replaced with Crucial Ram with a CAS 6.

Other Thoughts: Physical size of DIMM's 1/2 that on page listing (as noted in other reviews). Not sure what's changed with the chips on the DIMMS but there seems to be a problem. My guess is timing compatibility with the MOB but...just sent them back to NewEgg.

Pros: Installed it and my machine fired right up using stock BIOS parameter.

Cons: None yet.

Other Thoughts: I ordered two pairs and installed each pair into the following machines:

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P
Q6600 with stock HSF not overclocked
Existing memory was 2x1GB Patriot LLK memory
One machine with EVGA GeForce 7600 GT
One machine with EVGA GeForce 8600GT

I ran Memtest86+ for 24 hours on each machine - no errors.

I ran Prime95 on one machine for 24 hours - no errors.
I was unable to run Prime95 on the other machine - CPU and Core temps soared to unacceptable levels (well in excess of 75C). I'm pretty sure my HSF (stock Intel job) needs to be reseated or I need to refresh the Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound.

Pros: Price is perfect for budget builds. Also enjoy the low profile of the chips. Passed thru MEMTEST and been smooth sailing since.

Cons: none yet and hope never.

Other Thoughts: No heat spreader, but not so much a con as this is not the performance RAM for the tweeking crowd. However, heat has never been an issue given the internal fan bar with 3 80mm's pushing air to the back 120mm.

Pros: Works in my Intel workstation mobo I am using for my WHS.

Cons: None, except the bare looks when compared to 2100+ mhz high speed memory these days. :)

Pros: Kingston makes some very reliable RAM. the chips are a bit smaller (low profile) than the past ones I've had but they run flawless.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: You know, for "ValueRAM" this is as good as it gets. Kingston has always been reliable with my sysems and long lasting. They'll always be on my radar when I'm lookng at buying new RAM.

Pros: Works great, had to replace corsair XMS2 2x2GB that just crashes everything in sight, no hiccups with this memory.

Cons: Picture is deceiving, RAM received was half-sized or so and hard to handle and get in the slots versus normal sized.

Other Thoughts: I don't know who messed up, newegg or kingston, but the size different from the real thing to the picture shown is kind of a big deal but the performance is there so I just have to let it go and not count it against this product.

Pros: No compatibility problems and very stable. Kingston ValueRAM always performs well.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Can't beat the "bang for the buck".
