Rating + 5 It Works!


Pros: It works with my Asus EEE Box B206! Did a bios update and it recognized the 2 GB of memory.

Cons: None yet.

Other Thoughts: For those who would wish for better directions on the accessing the memory for the EEE Box, the pictures in the "chinese" verson of the B202 manual show you how!

Rating + 5 so far, so good


Pros: Does what it was made to do.

Cons: EeePC 904ha needed a bios update (a new one just came to be in June 2009 or close) to 'see' the 2 gigs - I was quite puzzled for a while as XP was obviously not seeing it all. Just 1 gig registered in 'system' and such. A fave self exe program "System Information for Windows" and another "CPU-Z" would both read 2gig but the proof for me was that the hyberfil.sys file remained at 1gig meaning only 1 gig was being written to disk upon my common way of powering down by 'hibernating' which writes the ram quickly to disk. It was a pleasant relief when the bios update changed everything instantly. So while this is more an EeePC issue the 'con' was that even after reading a bunch of these reviews I wasn't able to come across this info here even though many mention my cool netbook.

Rating + 5 Excellent for Eee PC 701 4G


Pros: Purchased for 2 sticks of this for my twin Eee PC's. Both are model 701/4 gig SSDs in each. Shipping time was average, and both sticks work great. Showing up in the BIOS and in Windows XP system properties. If you are running the stock Xandros Linux, others have said that it will only show 1 gig, so I cannot comment about that, but with XP these work great. Was running 512 MB of RAM before, and these 2 gig chips made my little Eee's like lightning.

Cons: None

Pros: None

Cons: Died while computer was stored. Cheap is not always good. Made mistake of depending on reviews..

Other Thoughts: Bought this with my asus laptop purchase from newegg in Jan this yr. Installed OK. Used laptop for 10 hrs. Set up, registration, d loaded updates, etc. as was being transfered out of country. Shut down & stored it in its shipping box.
Got back 2 weeks ago. Started it up, got "windows resuming", never started up. Black screen only. Asus diagnosis was "non Asus Memory defective.
Transcend says it's neweggs prob. Newegg policy says too much time has passed.
Will never trust Transcend.
Will buy stick from my base exchange.

Rating + 5 Good memory for my macbook


Pros: Price (although there are about 10 other modules for this price). Easy to put in, gave an awesome performance boost to my MacBook. Went from 1gb to 2.5gb. Parallels used to make everything very slow. Now it runs perfectly. I have it running ubuntu too.

Cons: Why does shipping cost $6 for something that weighs so little. And why send it three day when it would get to me in the same time ground? (I live within 50 miles of the Newegg warehouse). It could be mailed, and in a smaller box. But that's okay, it's just $6.

Other Thoughts: Price went up after I bought it.

Rating + 5 Perfect Notebook RAM Solution


Pros: I took the advise of the Newegg.com masses who have come out the most on this product to say how painless it is. Well I can attest to this now. In installed this RAM into my Dell Vostro 1500, powered the machine up, consented to the change in amount of sys memory that BIOS reported and done. This RAM worked without issue. I encourage anyone concerned with shutdown leaks turning into system hangs, buy this RAM and call it a day. Spend your time on stuff you cannot solve. This RAM will never fall into that category.

Cons: Not a single beef.

Other Thoughts: I am in IT professionally and I have seen the impact that incompatible RAM can have on a server or system intended to stay lit 24/7/365. Likewise, I have seen what incompatible RAM can do to the shutdown process - hang it up. This is a perfect, affordable solution. Can't speak to the provider's support contingent, but then, I don't really want to. IF you want it to work the first time-every time. Stop reading reviews and buy this product. Newegg had it in my hand in under 24-hours. God bless their central NJ distro centers.

Pros: It works perfectly. Memtest86+ reported it to be just as fast as my preinstalled 667mhz memory and found no errors.

Cons: With this much RAM, swsusp does seem to take longer than on my old laptop, although it may all be in my head. 3GB swap LV on dm-crypt -- no idea really, but that may not scale as well as just using Blowfish directly on an MBR slice. Have not consulted the documentation, YMMV, etc.

Other Thoughts: I put it in a ThinkPad T61, which I configured with just 1GB. Saved a bunch of money. I am running Linux, if the references above didn't already make it obvious.

Pros: No problems. Installed into my ThinkPad T60P in about 5 minutes.

Running Ubuntu 7.10 64bit OS, ...3D desktop, effects, and programs all run better with more memory.

Cons: I absolutely hate the plastic seal packaging - should manufacturers make better choices? Yes they should. I can't believe nobody has lost a finger cutting through that hard plastic, and sued the pants off whoever is responsible for this "accident waiting to happen." A grandma sues McDonalds over hot coffee and wins, and nobody is taking on this terror packaging? Come on America, you can sue better!

Other Thoughts: Make sure you're running a 64bit version of whatever OS you fancy, or you will not see all 4GBs. This is not a problem with memory, but the way memory addressing works on 32bit operating systems.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Transcend offered a rebate when I bought. I'm still waiting for it, but with the rebate, it was a great deal.

Rating + 5 Consider getting two...


Pros: It's good and affordable. Normally I'd only consider getting memory from one of the more well-known brands, but given the price difference, I gave Transcend a shot. No complaints, everything is stable. I put two of these in my Acer Extensa 5620, as it can handle 4GB. Granted, Vista Home Premium only recognizes 3GB, but the extra gets used for my onboard video. And I don't have to consider any further memory upgrades if/when I switch to a 64-bit O/S.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I got my laptop around Thanksgiving. It's good to see that more and more are actually being sold with 3GB.

Cons: None that I can think of. With memory this cheap, why not upgrade?

Pros: Works like it said it would, noticed a big difference in performance on my Dell Inspiron 1521. Only had 1gb to start out with and 256mb of that was shared with the video card. Dell put 2x512 sticks in here, so I'm now running at 2.5gb of ram instead of the 3gb I had wished for, oh well. But it does what it should and was 100% compatible.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Also note I am running Vista Home Premium, so this upgrade was a MUST!!!

Pros: I bought a brand new 2.2Ghz Macbook with 1GB RAM and 120GB drive and upgraded the RAM and HDD as soon as I purchased it. Apple wanted over $800 to upgrade to 4GB and instead I accomplished the same thing with 5 minutes of my time and $88.

Cons: It won't clean the litter box.

Other Thoughts: Snaps in nicely, benchmarks out to speedier than the factory RAM - at over $700 less than the factory upgrade at the time of this review. Can't beat it.

Pros: Easy install, cheap price without sacrifice in quality and excellent increase in performance.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: This was installed in a Toshiba Satellite A215-S5802 notebook that came with 1 GB memory. (It's primarily for the wife.) I wanted to juice up the performance a bit seeing that I had also loaded MS Office Home & Student 2007, so I installed two 2GB sticks which took me about 5 minutes. The memory was recognized right away and the machine began zipping through its paces in very speedy fashion. My wife was impressed and now thinks I'm some kind of computer genius. Even though this task was so simple that even an idiot could successfully do it, I shall say nothing to dispell her admiration of my feat! Bottom line, for the price/performance ratio, you can't beat this memory. Buy it!
