Rating + 5 Works fine in Dell Optiplex G240


Pros: Better than an empty memory bank; works and plays well with others.

Cons: It is not capable of walking. If it did, it would have arrived faster than with the shipping method that I foolishly selected.

Other Thoughts: Great value for the price. I seated it improperly on the first try. Re-seated both sticks, and, bam, 256MB goes to 512MB in the old Dell I was fixing up!

Pros: Paired this up with an old stick of kingston value ram, and had no problems. Running 512 of kingston in an old pentiumIII 733mghz mobo for my mom, and it works like a charm.. just about doubled my speeds. Overall Kingston mem was a good choice this time.

Rating + 4 Be careful with older machine specs!!


Pros: Probably great memory... hard to say, it gave a POST error and the machine wouldn't boot

Cons: Not compatible with my dad's HP Pavilion -- this is PC133, as were all 6 recommended selections using Newegg's memory selector. Turns out the machine needs PC100. I guess the bottom line is, always check mfr's specs!!

Other Thoughts: Newegg rocks and is correcting the error at no charge to me!

Rating + 3 So-So


Pros: Products received in excellent condition. Received 2 DIMMs with same Kingston Part# except for small print on bottom of label.

Cons: One DIMM worked and the other did not. Believe one to be unbuffered and the other 1 buffered. Small print on bottom of label "ELP 9905220-006.A00LF", this 1 did NOT work.
Other DIMM "9905220-011.A00" worked.

Other Thoughts: Both DIMMs are good but 1 is not the correct type. From the Kingston website:

Rating + 5 Dell Dimension 4100


Pros: I have used this memory in 2 Dell Dimension 4100 computers. One was a PIII 933Mhz which had 128MB RAM. I upgraded to 2 sticks of this 256MB RAM and it has been working great for over a year now. The other is a PIII 800 Mhz Dell Dimension and I removed the 2 sticks of 128 and installed 2 of these 256 and once again it is working well. Go Newegg and Kingston. Fast service and shipping.

Cons: None!

Other Thoughts: There was some speed increase but nothing dramatic. If you are looking for major speed improvements keep in mind that these are old Dell’s and should go with something newer.

Other Thoughts: i wish newegg would have posted the difference between high density and low density memory, i purchased 3 sticks of pqi memory which said it was high density and did not work with my system or any of the other 3 comps i put it in, so i spent some more got the kingston and hey it works fine. the sad thing is my comp seems to max out at 512mb oh well the two sticks i got work awesome :D if your comps old make sure you dont get high density because it is only for systems that can support at least 1.5gb of memory, cheers!

Rating + 5 Dell 4100 memory upgrade


Pros: Bought this memory upgrade for a friends slow as a snail Dell Dimensions 4100.
This memory upgrade made a world of difference on the pc I upgraded and booted up immediately after installing the 2 ram sticks.

Good choice and good price!

Cons: none at the moment

Rating + 2 Didn't work in older system


Pros: Cheap? But no cigar.

Cons: Didn't work in a Dell Dimension 2100. Wanted to upgrade the system cheap. I guess cheap doesn't always work. Bought a corsair instead and worked like a charm.

Other Thoughts: This has happened to me twice on 2 different systems. I bought cheaper / lower end ram, instead of the more expensive / higher quality Corsair. In both cases, I've had to return it to buy corsair instead. From what I've read it seems to be a hit and miss with these modules.

Rating + 4 Not Always Low Density


Pros: This is very good Ram for an old PC133 computer. No defects, made my old BE6-II ABIT motherboard as usable as the 2004 Dell upstairs.

Cons: I bought 1 stick intialy. The ABIT BE6-II can't use high-density ram, and only recognises half of the addresses on each chip, as is common for older computers. The stick I recived WAS low-density! overjoyed at the find, I imediatly orded 2 more sticks to fill out the slots. BZZT! Wrong move, the next two sticks high-density and and I wound up with 512MB total RAM instead of 768MB. The sticks were NOT broken, mind you, my Motherboard simply could only recognise them as perfectly working 128MB sticks.

Other Thoughts: My ABIT BE6-II was made before 133MHz FSB was officialy available, but was designed to run at 133MHz anyway, even though the Intell chipset didn't officialy support it. As such, kingston's officail tool on their website to select only RAM compatable with your motherboard will only offer me PC100 RAM. Of coarse, I need PC133 RAM to run on my motherboard running at 133MHZ, but couldn't I PLEASE get it at low-density? No tool gives me explicit options, so I'm stuck with the hit-and-miss strategy. I am highly sympathetic to any others in a similar position, just know that these sticks will come sometimes high density, somtimes low.

Pros: Kingston Ram has always tested good for me and I never had a bad stick out of box

Cons: Would not work in emachine T1110 that features the Intel 810e sys board (even though Intel doc shows that it can handle up to 133 MHz bus speeds)

Other Thoughts: I'm doing RMA on this and replacing with another Kingston stick but at the recommended mfg 100 MHz bus speed

Rating + 1 Not For All


Pros: Cheap price but actually expensive for such old technology.

Cons: Absolutely made with the chip making technology so alot of OLDER motherboards won't work with it. Memory is recognized but when you run extensive memory tests they fail. Seen alot of misbehavior in windows due to these chip problems and the new chip design.

Other Thoughts: Kingston gave up on making the ram the way it was when the target market of these boards was made. Their high density chips, altough recognized by the BIOS and the OS fail under extensive testing. The memory is fine it is just that the high density nature of the chips make them unsuitable for many older boards.

Rating + 5 Good memory for an old Dell


Pros: Got it for a cheap P4 1.6GHz 133MHz FSB and it works

Cons: no complaints

Other Thoughts: This is 133MHz RAM, for use with a PC with a 133MHz or 100MHz FSB. If you don't have that then this is not the memory you're looking for. It will not work well/properly/not at all.

Pros: Because of all the helpful reviews I read here, I ordered this for my Dell 4100. It was dying a slow death with 128MB RAM, and now that it has been given new life with another 256MB, it is humming right along. Looking forward to replacing the original 128MB with another 256 MB board. Wanted to take small steps. THANK YOU TO ALL!

Cons: None!

Cons: didn't work with my ASUS K7 AMD Athlon, which it was intended for. not too happy that i didn't go well. now have to waste more money on old style ram.

Other Thoughts: gotta do your research before hand. it would be nice if newegg could provide some capatibility list. price was good. shipping took 5 days. 2 days processing before sent.

Rating + 5 Great for old Dell 4100 box


Pros: Wow, I've been using two old 32MB pc100 sticks, and have been meaning to buy this for my old Dell 4100. Terrific upgrade, very happy Ubuntu. As always, Newegg's quick delivery (2 days on a 3 day ship) was very satisfactory, and this RAM was just as advertised. Great value.

Cons: None whatsoever. Great product.

Other Thoughts: For you people trying to buy this for your XPS machines, this RAM is for older machines like mine. If you don't get it to word, maybe you should have researched the fact that this is pc133, an older make of RAM (has been around for 5-6 years). You may want to buy something a little more expensive if you have a newer machine. More $ = faster + better quality.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: I've used Kingston products for a long time, and the bad reviews on this page are not because the product is faulty or bad, it's because the people ordered the wrong product.

To find out what model of memory stick works with your particular computer, go to Kingston's web site and use their memory search; it will tell you exactly what part number you need.

Don't blame the memory manufacturer because your computer maker doesn't follow the standards.
