Rating + 5 bang for the buck


Pros: Nice low price. I use Corsair memory almost exclusively. It is reliable and performs beautifully. Its great that Newegg keeps older memory types in stock. I used it to upgrade an older Compaq laptop from 256Mb to 1Gb RAM. Laptop runs MUCH better, even for an older machine.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I recommend Corsair memory to anyone who asks me about it. I also only use Corsair for current and future builds.

Rating + 5 Corsair 512 Ram for Thinkpad T40-2373


Pros: Rapid results. Windows XP (SP3) on a Lenovo Thinkpad T40-2373 recognized the RAM right away. Going from 256 to almost a gig has made usage of the laptop SO much better. I can have multiple internet windows open, MS office, and youtube all at once.

Even with a Sunday and Monday holiday, the package was delivered in 3 business days, well wrapped with no damages.

Shipping was less than 3 dollars :)

Cons: None

Pros: I got this for a laptop PC, it works as it should, and the upgrade was smooth! It is RAM, but just not any old RAM...THIS IS RAM THAT WORKS!!

Cons: I GOT NO GRIP WITH THESE PEOPLE!

Other Thoughts: GET SOME!! JUST DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST...I DID MINE AND WAS REWARDED WITH A FINE EXPERIENCE! AND A HAPPY Laptop!

Rating + 2 Good price, but just didn't work


Pros: It fit into the Dell Inspiron 1100's memory slots just fine. Plus there was quick delivery, right before Thanksgiving.

Cons: The memory just didn't work. It wouldn't boot up at all with the Dell Inspiron 1100. When I put the old RAM back in, it worked just fine. I was very careful to ground myself before installing, but the product didn't come in static wrapping, so it's possible it was DOA. I was disappointed, naturally, but I wasn't able to get in contact with Corsair at all. I attempted multiple times, but with the holidays, I just had no luck.

Other Thoughts: I will say that for my first buying experience with Newegg, their customer service was very great. I had purchased this right before Thanksgiving and it was quick delivery. In addition, when the product didn't work, Newegg was very kind and refunded me my restocking fee on this as well. I didn't expect that at all. Plus they sent me a UPS label so I could get my return back in time.

Rating + 3 Not compatible with everything!


Pros: Packaged nicely.

Cons: This upgrade did not work in an HP ze5500 laptop. Ordered PC 2100 memory by another vendor and it works perfectly. Not sure who to blame on this one, but I'm leaning towards HP.

Other Thoughts: I gave this memory 3 stars because it probably will work just fine in other systems, just not this one.

Rating + 1


Pros: Used Corsair many times with good results. This situation was different.

Cons: Dell Inspiron 5150. System would NOT post, just beep and then shut off. I made sure that I had the latest released BIOS. Coincidentally the factory installed RAM was PC2100, not 2700. Maybe an early revision system?

I don't know what the incompatibility was between the Corsair ram was, especially with 3 reviews for the same system and good results. possibly bad ram? Doubtful, but still possible.

Other Thoughts: NewEgg shipping and experience was top-notch again!
Manufacturer Response:If you attempted to mix the memory modules, that could cause the issue you are seeing. If your replacement module is problematic, please contact Tech Support. It is odd that originally you paid for PC2700 and got PC2100.

Pros: Great brand of memory. I've had this in my outdated Dell laptop for more than two years and have never had any problems with it.

Cons: It goes into something that has probably been outdated for more than three years now.

Only 512mb, but that was pretty good when I got it.

Other Thoughts: Corsair makes an outstanding product.

Rating + 5 Laptop Runs Much Faster


Pros: Easy installation, easy to open package

Cons: Instructions included with DIMMs say to leave the laptop plugged in and the battery in during installation. I followed what seems to be the more common wisdom -- as per video on Crucial.com -- disconnected from power and removed battery.
Although the clamshell package was easy to open, popping out the DIMMs is a little difficult -- I was afraid of damaging them in the process but evidently I managed to not do that.

Other Thoughts: Compaq V2710US laptop was very poky before this upgrade. It now has a new lease on life. Noticeably snappier response. Went from 512MB to 1GB -- well really from 384MB to 896MB -- the motherboard must have a defect causing it not to recognize 128 MB.

Rating + 1 Please be careful


Pros: Good Price

Cons: Although Corsair's memory configurator list model VS512DS333 as being compatible with the Sony Vaio VGN S360, the memory will NOT fit in the slot. It's a 200 pin and the S360 needs a 172 pin.

Other Thoughts: If you are unsure a product is compatible please try to do as much research on your systems specs as possible. Don't be in a rush or cheap. You'll lose more money in the long run.

Other Thoughts: Works with Dell Inspiron 8200.
Opened the case, swapped the memory and it was recognized on the 1st boot.
Even with a slow bus speed, memory posted good times.

Rating + 5 works perfectly


Pros: Easy install, worked immediately, significant improvement over installed 512 in Toshiba Satellite. I read all of the reviews before buying it. I ran CPU-ID first. It said use PC 2700, but the Corsair on line "conjigurator" said to use PC 2100. Note, however, that the label is worn off on my Toshiba, so i was sort of guessing what the model number was! If unsure, maybe try CPU-ID!

Cons: none
trivial ... i don't like the colours of the packaging.

Other Thoughts: My purchase was influenced by the desire to try a new brand, good reviews at newegg and that fact that Corsair took the trouble to respond to people logging concerns. I thought that was edgy and i like a company that cares about its image. I am happy with my purchase.

Pros: excellent ram. Bought 2 to upgrade from 256MB to 1GB. With this change I see a big performance boost. I have these for a few months now and they have not failed yet.

Cons: Computer didn't reconize the new RAM at first. Maybe my laptop tho. I had to reboot and adjust ram a few times to get the RAM to work.

Other Thoughts: RAM - Cheapest way to upgrade an old laptop.

Cons: incompatibility with nc4000. even after being recommended by corsair configurator, it failed to post. replacing it with PC2100 SODIMMs did the trick.

Rating + 2 Does NOT work with Dell Inspiron 5100 - Disappointed


Pros: I'm sure the RAM itself is functional, HOWEVER, read the "Cons" section for more info on the lower rating.

Cons: I'm disappointed that this RAM, with all the correct specifications that Dell recommends (i.e. PC2700) doesn't work. I'm also disappointed that the Memory Configurator on Corsair's website (http://www.corsairmemory.com/configurator/system_results.aspx?id=149720) recommends it, but it doesn't work with the Inspiron 5100. This product is supposed to be compatible with my laptop, as noted by the manufacturer, but it's not.

Other Thoughts: If you're installing this on the Dell Inspiron 5100, it has been recommended, through various forums and Newegg reviews, that the PC2100 RAM be purchased; specifically, the PC2100 Corsair RAM should work. I hope it does, because I just ordered two 512MB sticks from Newegg (P/N VS512SDS266, found here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145482).

On a good note, Newegg was able to provide me with a refund for this issue, with no restocking fee, it appears! Newegg truly has exceptional customer service.

Rating + 1 Somewhat disappointed


Pros: Eventually worked

Cons: Delivery time was pretty slow for newegg. I've ordered many items before and was very impressed with delivery. The memory did not work. I checked with Corsair's website for compatibility before I purchased the memory for my old Dell 5100 laptop. The memory did not work. I contacted newegg and was told that they would give me a credit minus the re-stocking fees. I contacted corsair and they attempted to give me different installation instruction which did not work. After a few weeks they authorized a return and then it took another few weeks to finally get the replacement memory. It works!!!! I had given up on getting this resolved after reading some other reviews for the same memory. Many others could not get the same memory to work on any Dell laptops.

Other Thoughts: I will continue to be a newegg customer. 1 bad experience (ultimately resolved due to my patience/persistence) out of many positive experiences.
Manufacturer Response:We are sorry for any delay the bad part caused in getting your Dell up and running. Please let us know if you need any more assistance.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: I bought it to juice up an old HP ze4650us laptop my aunt gave me, but it didn't work. It would turn my laptop on and off real fast before hitting BIOS. Not a fault in the chips themselves, but Corsair's memory config. on their site said I could use it and I couldn't. But Newegg is RMAing me, I'm getting a refund and I ordered other memory

Other Thoughts: Other thoughts... Newegg is a great company, but they still use DHL which is dead domestically, but not internationally. I live about 54 miles from where it's shipped from in NJ, it shouldn't take me as long as it did to get it. They should have a local pick up at the warehouse's for people who live close enough to pick their order up.

Pros: Easy open Corsair packaging - good for RMA.
Newegg order arrived quickly and correct.

Cons: This is PC2700 memory "guaranteed" to work for Sony Vaio PCG-K15 by Corsair memory configurator linked to from Newegg. Unfortunately, only half of each stick is recognized. Replaced 2 sticks of 256Mb PC2100 (original) with 2 sticks Corsair VS512SDS333 512Mb as stated above. Still have only 512Mb.

Other Thoughts: Installed one stick only of new Corsair - recognized 256Mb, so Vaio only sees half a stick of each.
Hope Newegg will swap for PC2100.

3 stars because I can't fault memory, only recommendation by Corsair through Newegg.

Pros: Installed into the machine without issue

Cons: My Dell Inspiron 5100 didn't detect the memory and wouldn't boot.

Other Thoughts: This isn't so much a problem with the memory as it's a problem with DELL. I ordered a $50 stick (more than twice the cost of Newegg) from Crucial (the same speed, voltage, specs) and it worked fine. I'm glad to have the additional memory, but now I'm stuck with two sticks of laptop memory and no laptop to put them into!

Other Thoughts: Newegg is the best play to buy ram. Very competative prices, convienant, Fast shipping, Awesome customer support (had I needed it). Took labtop to Crucial to test the ram and they wanted to charge me $55 for 512mb of ram.. thats outranges when i got this for little over $20.

Cons: This memory does NOT work for Dell Insprion 5100!!! I bought the memory based on information gathered from www.crucial.com. The information was not true. Need PC 2100, NOT 2700.

I was so excited on getting the memory today because normally the computer starts chugging when I have two MS Word documents open. I've waited 15min before a document opens. Those hopes and dreams of not being frustrated at work were quickly dashed against the sharp rocks beneath the cliff of agony...

Plus it's non-refundable. Bought it for work so hoping that work to get a refund so I can get the right memory.

Other Thoughts: Search all the reviews to make sure that it works for your computer before you buy!

Other Thoughts: Added to a Gateway mx6000 series laptop that had a 512 stick in already. Made a nice improvement in overall windows performance. For some reason the laptop still won't change to dual channel mode but it works good enough it don't really care to investigate. The computer might not even support it.

Rating + 1 incompatible with HP ze4800


Pros: great value from a reputable manufacturer

Cons: incompatible with my HP Pavillion ZE4800 / AMD Athlon XP-M. causes my laptop to keep cycling the power. I am not even able to get into the bios. had to remove the battery while it was cycling the power to stop it from rebooting. my HP came with 1 stick of DDR333 PC2700 ram. However, I've never heard of the manufacturer of that ram.

Other Thoughts: I bought 2 corsair sticks a few years back for my desktop which is an HP with and AMD processor and NVIDIA chipset and it also crashed my system, although I was able to get into windows XP with my desktop. for some reason corsair ram does not like HP computers or laptops with AMD processors.
Manufacturer Response:According to our database, the HP 48** series requires PC2100 memory. It appears that you have chosen memory that is incompatible with your unit.

Please contact Customer Service or exchange with Newegg for the correct module for your system.

Cons: does not work in dell inspirion 11XX series laptops

Other Thoughts: Dell recommends 512MB 200-Pin DDR SO-DIMM DDR 333 (PC 2700) for this series of laptops. This memory is not compatible. I went through 4 of these mem modules in three 1100 inspirions. none of them boot with the latest bios installed.
Manufacturer Response:According to our internal memory finder, which uses information from our testing and directly drom Dell, your system requires PC2100 aka DDR266 memory, not PC2700/DDR333. Please contact Technical Support so we can help resolve this.

Rating + 2 Not compatible


Pros: Price, familiar brand

Cons: Not compatible with the computer I bought it for

Other Thoughts: This memory does not work in the old HP ze4800 I bought it for. I will admit that Corsair's memory selector recommended PC2100, but the laptop itself came with PC2700. Luckily I was able to swap out a stick of PC2700 from another laptop and use the Corsair in that one. The Corsair was not defective -- it works in a different machine. My gripe is that if the HP works with two other brands of PC2700, why does the Corsair not work?
Manufacturer Response:This sounds like a case where the chipset used on the laptop motherboard is not compatible with the memory you chose. We test our memory for compatibility and maintain this info in our memory selector tool. This is why we provide the memory selector for our customers. Please let us know if you have any issues.

Corsair has always put out a reliable product, and this time, for a very small price, they made me look like a computer wizard to my neighbors!

Cons: Little hard to remove from the plastic it was shipped in. didn't want to cut it out because I didn't want to damage it. but it was difficult to pop out of the recess portion. Was scared I was going to snap it getting it out!

Other Thoughts: Good economical buy, I couldn't have asked for anything else for this 3 or 4? year old laptop! Newegg was a great performer as always. Still my favorite E-store! The traditional UPS ground still was ahead of schedule. Newegg and UPS are the best value anywhere!

Rating + 2 Why can't the chips match picture


Pros: I bought 2 (kinda a con) and they are 512mb chips according to cpuz.

Cons: Too bad they are 8 chip and not 16 chip like the picture my laptop Vaio pcg-k13 (vaio's are picky if you don't know, think mac but different company) only recognizes 256mb each chip and CL2.5 (original chips were CL2) nothing like manufactures changing design to save money and causing their chips to not be fully compatible in the process! I guess that is Corsairs problem not Newegg.

Other Thoughts: I don't know if newegg can hand select me chips from their stock but if the pic has 16 chips and I recieved 8 chips. Anyway whoever's fault (I think Corsair) I don't like spending 50 bones and waiting for something in the mail to downgrade my laptop
Manufacturer Response:First we have no control over what pictures Newegg posts on their website. They issue a disclaimer for this also.

Second, it is always advisable to check with the manufacturer before buying memory for a notebook or OEM system.

Rating + 3 Beware on Dell Inspiron 5100


Pros: Newegg service is great; there was no hassle on resolving two issues.

Cons: DHL "Smart Mail" was delivered in damaged package, and one stick missing. Newegg agreed to supply that with no hassle.

Issue #2: I goofed up, ordering the wrong speed (PC2700, DDR 333) for a Dell Inspiron 5100, which wants PC2100 DDR 266. Newegg gave me an RMA, again with little hassle, for a refund - 15% restocking fee.

Other Thoughts: Only after testing the one received chip in the original shipment and finding the machine totally unable to boot with it, did I research the memory compatibility issue with the Inspiron 5100. This machine is notoriously picky about memory: several users have tried third-party memory and had the same experience as I did.
Tips received in forums: (1) Flash BIOS to v. A32 (latest). (2) Beware of timing issues. (3) Even with all specs met, some third party memory won't work.
Manufacturer aftermarket memory is indeed PC2700, but I could not find its latency specs on their website.

Rating + 5 Laptop Memory


Pros: Two sticks of 512mb memory ordered for an older Toshiba Satellite laptop. One stick was DOA, so I removed it and inserted the old 256mb stick paired with the new Corsair memory. Everything worked fine. The memory was recognized and the computer booted with no problems. The laptop's performance was increased significantly even with the two unmatched memory modules.

Cons: Other than the bad chip, I've never really had any complaints about Corsair's memory.

Other Thoughts: Newegg's customer service was Johnny-on-the-Spot with this. After phoning in the complaint about the DOA chip, the next morning UPS was knocking at the door with a replacement module. Way to go Newegg!!!

Rating + 1 Not good


Pros: Half of it works okay. RMA was quick.

Cons: My desktop only recognizes 256mg not 512. Second stick that was sent as a replacement was the same: Only 256 recognized. This was for an e-machine laptop. The memory selector tool said it should work, but it doesn't.

Manufacturer Response:If the memory selector indicates compatibility and the system is only showing 1/2 of the installed amount, it's possible that a bios update from the manufacturer is needed. Also, you should not mix this memory with your original memory as this can cause issues.

Rating + 4 It works


Pros: It works.

Cons: It's old? It's also a lot more expensive than I think it should be. But if you have an old laptop, what can you do?

Rating + 4 Should have double checked the specs. :-/


Pros: I assume it works, if your system can handle it.

I ordered these, but needed the 266 :-/

Cons: Didn't work for my specific laptop (HP pavillion 4540us)

Other Thoughts: Hoping to get the 266 parts for a good price from NewEgg (and that it revives my drooping laptop)
