Rating + 1 Dell Inspiron 1100 1G upgrade


Pros: Great reviews for working in the 1100 and memory I have used before.

Cons: But didn't work in mine.

Other Thoughts: Replaced 2 128s with the 2 new 512s and would not load. It would work one at a time or with one 128 so it was good memory.

Rating + 5 Worthy upgrade for Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop


Pros: Purchased 1Gig of CORSAIR memory (2 DIMM's) and received the package in less than a week :).
Recommended memory upgrade for a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop.
The new memory has been working for the last 2-weeks.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Purchased this for a friend's Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop that had only 256Meg of memory that is running Windows XP very slowly.
The 1Gig memory upgrade made a HUGE improvement to the laptop's performance -- like a new PC.

*** INSTALL NOTE ***
Ensure that the memory module SNAPS into place. You should hear and feel a click when it is done right. If the module is not correctly in place, the laptop will not start and you won't get an error message.

This was the first time I installed memory in a laptop. Although I followed the procedure from Dell for installing memory in the laptop, I did not notice the module module was not seated properly the first time or the 2nd time. It was after the 3rd attempt of swapping the old memory and new memory did I noticed the little click. -- End-of-Note.

Now, if I can also find a deal on a hard drive upgrade for the laptop...

Pros: Price was right, reliable name and worked right from the word go! I give it a definite must have for older laptops. See "Other Thoughts" below.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Upgraded an old 2005 HP Pavilion ze4500 (ze4560us) when the original HDD failed. Between two of these and a new WD HDD 80GB HDD also from Newegg, made this old timer laptop just fly!!! Well worth the small price of it all.

Rating + 5 Perfect for older laptops


Pros: It's plug and play. Quite litterally. I installed this ram on a Dell Inspiron 4150 running a 1.8 ghz processor. It was running 256mb of ram, now I have it up to 640mb and it makes a huge difference.

Cons: There are no cons, it's Corsair.

Other Thoughts: If you need to update an old laptop and don't want to update the bios for it, then get this ram. Most older laptops will recognize it right away without any problems

Pros: Good RAM worked right away, ran memset and no errors, bought it for Toshiba Qosmio x305-725 crossing fingers that 8 gigs would work and did, if its good enough for NASA its good enough for me

Cons: Not really con but the price is reasonable, has Hyundia Electronics chips also not a con but i don not know too much about the different manufacturers, it works so i am happy

Other Thoughts: Its been about 3 weeks with the RAM so far so good, ran my apps that are RAM hogs and open a file that is 200 mb file and opened a lot faster with 8 gigs rather than 4 gigs of ram

Rating + 5 Just the thing for a Dell 5100!


Pros: Read several other reviews of this RAM for the Dell 5100 and as the others said it was perfect for this machine. My 5 year old Dell was dog slow with just 512mb ram. So I upped it to 1Gig and boy, what a difference! Once installed it was reccognized right away and we were off! Crucial's web site calls for a PC2700 chip and others had issues with that. So stick to this Corsair chip in the 5100 and you will be happy.

Cons: None!

Pros: Have a quite old IBM A31 running XP laptop that had only 512mb or RAM and was getting bogged down on Lotus notes if running other APS. Decided to spend the $40 to double RAM to max 1GB. Boy what a difference. No more issues running Notes with other apps. I fully expect to get another year or two easy now out of this laptop. Everything is faster now. Well worth the money to me.

Pros: Cheap, got it fast from NewEgg, installed and works fine. No issues so far and hopefully none.

Cons: None that I've seen at all.

Other Thoughts: I bought two to revive my wife's old Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop. She'd gotten some BSOD talking about memory issues and while I couldn't prove it was the problem for the cheap price here taking her machine from 680meg to a gig of memory has been great.

Course, the Dell still overheats in about 30 minutes, but hey, I can't expect new memory to fix everything.

Yay for NewEgg and their fast service!

Rating + 5 Very Pleased


Pros: Ordered 2 Corsair 512MB SO-DIMM Memory Modules. I knew exactly what I needed, after through research on the Dell website. Older Dell Latitude C840 simply needed some upgrading. These did the trick.

Cons: None, really. When memory modules work, they simply work.

Other Thoughts: Way To Go ... Newegg!!!

One of the modules was DOA on arrival. I simply went online & requested a RMA number. Absolutely NO problems getting a replacement. Yes, it delayed getting laptop, up & running, but I am NOT complaining. Newegg didn't 'blink an eye' or question me, simply replaced the memory module. I realize that these things happen & Newegg backed it's warranty & guarantee.

I didn't even lower the star rating, due to Newegg's great service. LOVE Newegg.

Pros: Easy to install & puts more pep in my computer's step. Do the research to make sure you're buying the right type of ram though as I see some bad reviews from people who probably didn't do that.

Cons: I upgraded from 512mb and thought I would see drastic improvement by doubling ram but I wouldn't say it was drastic. Definitely an improvement though.

Rating + 5 Works great in older laptops.


Pros: I had two separate older laptops, a Compaq (HP) ze5500 series, and a Compaq NX9010. Both of these are 7+ years old, and both of them came with Compaq branded Samsung PC2100 RAM (2 x 256mb and 1 x 256mb, respectively).

Before buying these, I've actually tried multiple different aftermarket RAM modules in each that did NOT work, but these chips dropped right in and worked 100% right out of the package. Took literally 30 seconds to install with a small Phillips screwdriver.

Come in fairly nice plastic retail packages (see cons below).

If you want to rejuvenate an older laptop, these chips are a good bet.

I've seen similar chips a *bit* cheaper elsewhere, but as I've learned the hard way, a few extra bucks cost upfront was WELL worth it for NewEggs fast shipping and strong warantee.

Cons: Plastic packages were not metallic/static electricity proof.

I don't know how much this really matters. . .in my case, it didn't make any difference since both chips ran just fine.

I think fears of damaging chips with static electricity are overstated, but for what its worth every other memory module I've ever bought came in an anti-static bag.

Other Thoughts: The older laptops I put these won't handle more than 1gb each, so I dropped in two new chips each to max them out.

The difference in usability between 256kb and 1gb is like night and day. A 256k machine takes forever to load up a modern browser and then doesn't run it that well. It also chokes trying to run more than one application at a time.

With 1gb, the same 7-8 year old laptop is like a totally different machine, running everything I need it to, faster, and with multiple apps at once.

There *is* an improvement in performance from 512 to 1024Mb, though its not nearly so dramatic.

I'd say if you have an older laptop that you've given up on, you'll probably be amazed how much better it will run with just ONE extra 512Mb chip in there (let alone two).

Rating + 5 Performance Improvement Noted!


Pros: My Toshiba Satellite A25-S2792 loves the new memory! The process to exchange the two stock 256MB sticks with the two new Corsair 512MB sticks was a no-brainer. The added memory was recognized immediately by XP Pro SP2. Overall improved performance is VERY noticeable. This has to be the easiest and least expensive thing to do to add life (and spunk!) to an aging laptop.

The Corsair memory upgrade was definitely money well spent!

Pros: Too easy to install into an aging Sony VAIO PCG-K15 notebook. Warranty is also a plus. In this particular Sony laptop model make sure that you replace the ram with the same speed of memory that was originally installed. Read my "other thoughts" section for details.

Typical Corsair quality. I've been using Corsair for years and knew it wouldn't let me down!

Cons: Price. Seems computer product companies are charging a premium for aging, older, or outdated computer parts. But, I suppose they have to maintain supplies for the old stuff too... But, it still seems wrong to charge premium prices for slow aging memory styles. The Smithsonian will probably call me one day for samples of old technology for their museum! Woo Hoo...maybe by then I will have a gold mine with these old parts!

Other Thoughts: Read many reviews regarding replacement memory for Sony VAIO PCG-K15 laptops. Many people ordered the faster DDR 333 (PC2700) or DDR 400 (PC3200) memory to upgrade their laptop. It appears that the laptop wouldn't recognize the entire amount of ram... They indicated that they installed 1 gigabyte but the computer only recognized 512mb. So, they had to ship the ram back to Newegg and get the slower DDR 266 (PC2100) ram. Lucky for me I did my homework and saved myself some return postage and restocking fee! Thanks to the reviewers for providing this information. In the past I have upgraded to faster memory for laptop upgrades and they worked. However, that seems to work better in computers using DDR2 ram and not DDR ram.

Pros: My memory came in today and I was able to grade the memory from 512mb to 1gb. Doubling the memory in my HP laptop notebook made a difference. It's worth using again. No conflicts with this brand memory in my HP. The price was great and well worth it.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Worth the purchase.

Pros: 2 x 512 MB modules do work with a Compaq 2135US notebook. Brought an older 256MB notebook back to life.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Thank you for everyone who posted what models worked with this memory. It helped me decide the Corsair over the Kingston which apparently doesn't work with the 2135US

Pros: Both sticks plugged into my Dell Inspiron 5500 and worked - at first.

Cons: After a coule of weeks I started getting blue screens. I tried a number of software fixes as indicated by Windows (drivers, antivirus, etc) before going to OCZ website and downloading Memtest. One stick generated many errors, the other gave none. Returned bad unit to OCZ for replacement.

Other Thoughts: If you have a Dell 5100, be sure to update the BIOS before going beyond 512 MB of memory. This is the first memory I have ever had go bad. Many blue screens with different supposed causes may indicate a memory problem.

Rating + 5 Excellent Memory


Pros: The memory works as advertised.
I purchased the 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) of memory for my 8 year old HP Pavilion ze5000 laptop. I'm running XP pro with all current updates. The jump from 512 MB to 1 GB is noticable when running most programs.
This type of ram isn't in as much demand as once was and consequently the price keeps dropping.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: If you are looking to get a little more life out of your computer, this is the way to go.
I looked at the different makes and read the reviews ahead of time. Corsair is definitely a top tier memory manufacturer. Their quality is tough to beat.

Pros: Installed the 3rd set in my 2135US Compaq Presario. When they work, they greatly improve performance; however!.....

Cons: ......However, the new memory modules failed at about 1.3 hours in the same manner as before. Blue screen of death, core dump error message and a forced reboot.
The memory modules test ok with 'CheckIt' scans.
The computer has run now for 4 hours without another failure. I will let it run continuously doing scans to see if it fails again.

Other Thoughts: Given these problems, I definitely would not purchase this brand of memory again for my 2135US Compaq Presario (2100 series) laptop. I am 30 days downline and still having to revert back to my old 2X256mb micron memory modules to do any real work.

Rating + 1 Maybe better luck with next set


Pros: None so far

Cons: I promptly received 2x512mb modules; installed easily in my 2135US Compaq Presario. They booted quickly and they performed well for about 2 hours. At two hours they started to fail by forcing a reboot by pulling the power out from under it. The computer would fail in the same manner every 20 min to an hour. I sent the memory modules back to Corsair. They replaced them in about a week and I received them in about another week. The new modules started to fail at 60 seconds flat forcing a reboot about every minute to 10 minutes. I sent Corsair's replacement modules back to NewEgg and NewEgg has sent out another 2 more sets of the same part number.
Heres hoping the third replacement works better than the first two!

Manufacturer Response:If you have issues with the 3rd, please contact Technical Support by phone, TSX, or contact RAM GUY at our forums.

Rating + 5 Excellent upgrade for old laptop!!


Pros: Easily installed into dell inspirion 1100..Laptop feels unbelivably faster...I went from 256 mb ram to 640 with this...I just had to remove one 128mb stick and add the 512 mbram and kept one 128mb in there. that's a 250% memory increase for $20. I'll consider buying another to make it an even 1 gig but really it's not needed for what I do on this old laptop for slideshows, music, and pictures.

specs. dell inspirion 1100
2.4 ghz celeron win XP
(now) 640mb ram!!!

Cons: absolutely none...

Other Thoughts: this memory was 10 bucks more through Dell and it was a generic brand plus I KNEW i would get it faster from Newegg.com then dell. thanks!
wish I would've upgraded laptop sooner b/c it really is like twice as fast now.

Other Thoughts: Before I had this RAM installed, I was running Xubuntu on this laptop and using it to stream Internet radio sometimes. If I was lucky, I could stream the radio AND also use Pidgin for instant messenging.

Now it's so responsive I might install regular Ubuntu. =]

Pros: Memory came is good, secure packaging. The Egg-Saver shipping was prompt. I ran memtest on the memory - no problems. I have run the laptop with the memory upgrade everyday for many hours - no problems. I could not find any PC 2100 at a local store. If I had, I am sure the price would have been higher than I paid at newegg

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I have a HP Pavalion ze5500 (specifically, a ze5568cl) with a Mobile Pentium 4 2.66, that my aunt purchased new, ran the battery down, then put aside for many years, so it was basically unused. I started using it, but with 512 MB of memory, I was severely restricted in what I could do...I could bare run one application much less two. With 1024 MB of memory (2x512), the difference was great, and the computer came alive. I could then run iTunes and a web browser or a mail agent. Actually, what I did was start using Opera for it's low memory foot print, then in the living room, watched iTunes podcasts, hulu.com shows and the like. Very happy!

Cons: Older memory is just too expensive. On the same order I purchased Kingston 4gb kit of ddr2 667 for only $4.00 more!

Other Thoughts: If your stuck with an older laptop, I guess its cheaper to drop $40.00 to try to speed it up, instead of buying a new laptop. It did make a difference in the nx9010 but I really wish the user would have just delt with the laptop until we could have purchased a replacement one

Pros: Works well with this picky laptop. Allowed me to max my RAM at a very economical price.

Cons: Lower bus speed required for 512MB chips as the higher PC2700 version does not work with this laptop even though specs say it should. Higher quality memory (ie more expensive) sticks are compatible at PC2700 speed. 256MB version will work at either speed (PC2100/PC2700).

Careful, Corsair memory selection tool recommends the faster one, but at least for this laptop nc4000, it will not work. Ok, now that I've gotten this version.

Other Thoughts: Shipping amounts are ridiculous to Hawaii. For a pair of these chips, it costs just as much to ship as to pay for one stick.

Pros: Cheap, packaging was easy to open

Cons: I bought this for an older laptop, an HP ze4560us. I honestly think it ran better with the 512 (2x 256 chips) I originally had in there. The video skips now, it's slower loading and running. I even replaced the HDD on it too and nothing made it go much faster. I even messed with the shared video memory to fix this issue. I ran them both separately so they both work. I would RMA them, but I'm getting sick of RMAing and having to pay 10 bucks to send it to them.

Other Thoughts: I'm not an idiot when it comes to computers, I've tried everything to make this thing run faster.

Pros: I put 2 of these sticks into my Compaq Presario 2100. Anyone with basic laptop knowledge knows this PC was not a stellar unit. I reformatted my entire PC before I placed this inside. The RAM perform spectacular. It made this Laptop amazingly faster from the moment I turned it on. I thought this Laptop was a doorstop for awhile there, until I took a chance and purchased this RAM. The PC recognized both sticks immediately, unlike the 1GB I tried last fall. The processor did not like the 1GB stick. Both of these are more than what I expected. Would tell anyone with this PC to upgrade to 2-512Mhz stick for a great relief.

Cons: I bought this last Sunday when the price was $22.99 per stick. Heck, it's worth what I paid for the performance I got.

Rating + 5 All Good


Pros: Once again newegg did good. Great ram with no problems. Straight into the laptop, booted recognizing both sticks, and runs like a charm. Selected 3 day shipping and guess what....it was here in 2.5 days. Will always recommend newegg and Corsair ram.

Cons: none

Rating + 4 Only RAM to work in Dell Inspiron 1100


Pros: If you have a Dell Inspiron 1100, you will have major problems finding RAM that actually works. The Corsair actually did. Thanks to all the others who wrote reviews affirming this basic fact!

Cons: none

Rating + 5 Thinkpad solution


Pros: Tested with IBM Thinkpad T30, A31, A31p. Will work with many other P4-mobile based Thinkpads from the same era.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Get 1GB modules instead. Contrary to IBMs documentation, the T30, A31, etc can handle 1GB sticks for a 2GB max with NO problems. Cheaper, more flexible to get the bigger chips, which I do now.

Rating + 5 HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!


Pros: Works perfectly in my Dell Inspiron 1100. Install took less than 2 minutes and was plug and go. UPS delivery in 2 days. Upping memory from 256 to 640 made a big difference in an old laptop.

Cons: Even though there were alot of successful reviews of this memory in an 1100, I still had my doubts about compatability. I should have bit the bullet and got 2 sticks instead of just the one.

Other Thoughts: I've wanted to get a laptop for some time, but couldn't put it in my budget. I found this laptop in a pawn shop for a decent price. I knew I'd have to upgrade some parts when I bought it. Now the computer is usable for e-mail, documents, and internet. Only prob is I have to use a USB dongle for wireless, but I guess that is life with an old laptop.

My next project is to replace the 20 gig hard drive with a new one (already ordered thru Newegg yesterday, just waiting for "BROWN" to deliver). From the reviews I've read, it should work fine (probably better than the OEM drive).
