Pros: First brand of ram I ever bought was Crucial. However, with this new computer I just built I was having problems with the ram. So I went to back to Crucial and the ram worked the second i turned the computer on.

Cons: none i actually like having no heat spreaders (see other thoughts)

Other Thoughts: i stuck a pair of thermalright HR07 type L and type H heatsinks to these sticks and theyre stable at 1000Mhz and 2.0 volts. Im sure they can go higher though i dont see the reason to do so. Dont let the high latency throw you off from buying this ram especially if youre using a 10k or 15k rpm hard drive for the latency doesnt even make much of a difference then. Crucial makes great ram

Pros: Crucial RAM is rock solid, stable, reliable and compatible. They have an excellent configurator that makes it just about impossible to get the wrong RAM for your system/motherboard. I just bought a second pair of these to max my latest system out at 8GB. I have 3 PCs at home ranging in age from 8 years to 6 months, all with Crucial RAM, never a problem.

Cons: none

Pros: After several failed attempts at buying RAM that I thought would be compatible with my mobo, I found Crucial's RAM compatibility program on Newegg. I have very little technical experience, and was surprised at how easy it was to find exactly the kind of RAM I needed. Sticks worked right out of the box, however, I was running Windows XP Pro 64 bit and could only get my computer to read 3GB's (I paired one stick of Crucial with a 1 GB stick I already had). Once I upgraded to Windows 7, both sticks worked. Didn't need to mess with the timing or anything (which was wonderful, since I had no clue as to what I was doing anyway!)

Cons: I wish someone had warned me 6 months ago that my OS was the problem, not my RAM, haha. But getting and installing these particular sticks was headache-free.

Pros: Price was right.

Cons: Purchased and installed in August, 2009. Got blue screen and bios beeps in December, 2009. Replaced with another brand and pc working again now.

Other Thoughts: "You get what you pay for." Spend a few bucks more and get memory that lasts more than 4 months.

Pros: It's 4 GB of RAM. It'll get the job done. Not sure about the extreme technical details of the RAM, but it works fine for me.

Cons: None that I know of.

Other Thoughts: What is up with RAM prices these days? I bought this for $53 back in August and as of this review it is $92. And it's not just this set that ballooned in price.
