Rating + 5 Certainly Satisfied.


Pros: - Cheap. $20.99 back in 05/2008.
- Given me almost 4 years of flawless service.
- Might be bottom-of-the-barrel, but you still get Corsair's track record of reliable and robust memory.
- Even at the current $24.99, this DDR2 is still cheaper than regular ol' DDR. Makes me chuckle every time...

Cons: Can't come up with anything that would realistically be a con, considering the nature and purpose of this memory.

Other Thoughts: Doesn't make it into the "high performance" category in any way, but seriously, that's not what you buy this RAM for anyway so how can you consider it a con? I paired this with a Biostar P4M900M4 motherboard (also from Newegg) so I could put my old Skt478 Pentium 4 2.8 back into service.

If all you need is some really cheap memory and things like absurd speed, ultra-low timings, and giant heat-spreaders aren't necessary for your build, this is it.

Rating + 5 glad i bought this ram


Pros: Does what it's suppose to. Can get a stable overclock of 280mhz. The price was much cheaper when I bought it. Great for medium-end gaming like HL2 and COD4.

Cons: Was able to overclock to 354mhz a few days ago, but now it blue screens me every time I try. It never said it was a good overclocker... so the 5 eggs still stay.

Other Thoughts: Most likely going to upgrade to GeIL Black Dragon 2GB DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500). I wont be playing anymore GTA IV until I buy that.

Rating + 5 Worked great, but had to buy another one


Pros: Worked with the older HP Pavilion a1340n.

Cons: Was not compatible with the other OEM 1 GB memory card already in the PC. This forced me to buy another Corsair memory card to match the first one I bought and to shelf the original OEM stick that came with the PC.

Other Thoughts: Make sure you check your manufacturer's website or do a google on the memory requirements for your PC first. I only found out after buying the first Corsair that it's best to buy the memory in matched sets.

Rating + 3 1/2 Ram Recognized by MotherBoard


Pros: Memory functions OK (all 1/2 of it)

Cons: Asus P5VDC-MX motherboard would only recognize 512 meg of the 1gig strip.

Other Thoughts: I have two 1 gig sticks of this memory VS1GB533D2. The 1st stick was purchased several years ago with no issues. It has 16 chips total (double sided 8 each side). I believe this is known as low density memory. The 2nd strip recently purchased is the same part number, but is single sided with 8 chips only (high density). My motherboard only sees 1.5 gig of the 2 gig installed and is very particular about seeing only double sided low density memory. Corsair changed their manufacturing spec for this value ram. Probably a cost saving issue for Corsair. The lesson to be learned here is: do you due-diligence when purchasing ram for motherboard compatibility.

Rating + 2 Great Price, but...


Pros: Easy to install. System booted up with no problem. System recognizes and uses the additional memory.

Cons: Adding the additional 1 gig of memory slowed down my system from 5.9 Memory Operations per Second to 4.7!

Other Thoughts: Some of my other research suggests that Memory must be added in pairs, or that all Memory needs to be identical / replaced when adding to a desktop with four slots, and a four gig maximum.

Rating + 5 good value and upgrade


Pros: bought 1 stick about two weeks ago and another last week both installed. now two gb of ram, original computer only had 533mb. big difference in speed of computer. much faster and a joy to use. no more waiting. ram sticks performed as stated in other reviews. probably the single most significant upgrade you can make to your computer is adding ram. it's easy, anybody can do it and it's cheap. a win/win situation.

Cons: none so far.

Other Thoughts: service and value is satisfactory at new egg. i like the fact that there was a memory selection menu so i knew what memory sticks to buy. i am not computer savy but with the computer memory menu on the new egg site it was a snap to buy the right memory sticks.

Pros: Bought this ram in 2004... it still works. Perfect for building small systems. I use this in my print server now. It does the job. I payed 35 dollars a piece when I bought it originally though.

Cons: For 13 bucks. Perfect.

Other Thoughts: Well done newegg. Honestly on top of the world as far as electronics go.

Pros: Exceptional value, reliable upgrade, stellar reputation. Corsair and Crucial are the best RAM suppliers out there in my opinion.

Cons: Only 1 bad stick out of 84 puchased! Hey, it happens. That is a very acceptible failure ratio.

Other Thoughts: If you're going to buy memory, get the best around.

Rating + 5 Instant boost


Pros: This is the only card that Newegg has that supports my system, which I'm glad because my motherboard only supports 4GB anyway and I had 2 512 sticks so i would have to buy 4 anyway. I got 8 of these, 4 for me and 4 for my brother. It came up to only about $100 for all 8. I remember when it used to be $80 for one. Anyway, it showed an instant performance boost. Multi-tasking while gaming was tough with 1GB, now it is no problem.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I have Vista 32-bit so I only see about 3.5 GB of the 4GB. But it was so cheap, who cares?

Pros: I have purchased several products from Newegg and have been satisfied. I purchased additional memory for my desktop and it has worked well. My mom's computer was slow so I purchased two 1gb to replace her 512. When first installed, I was impressed by the speed but when I came back to the computer 10 minutes later, it kept attempting to restart without success. I put the old 512 back in and didn't have a problem. I spoke online w/Ashley and we decided to try each stick seperatly to see if one was defective. They both worked alone so I put them both in again. Worked for awhile but did the same again. I am now back to the old 512 with two 1 gb just sitting. It's slow but at least it's working. Very frustrating and out the $27.00.

Cons: Doesn't work in the Compaq Presario SR2150NX it was supposed to according to your website.

Pros: Corsair makes great memory - period.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: To the person who said they installed the memory and the computer died: there was in all likelihood much more going on with that computer and the install of memory had little or nothing to do with its demise. If it were bad or wrong memory, there are warnings.

Pros: Price was right

Cons: made my computer crash after a couple days

Other Thoughts: Did not show up as 1 GB nor does the product seem to be the same 1 GB stick I ordered from the same page a few months back? Not unhappy with NewEgg as they did not make the memory nor possibly incorrectly package the product. Not worth my time and effort to try and get back $12 either - I recently ordered all new 4 GB worth of memory and instead went with Crucial which I should have done in the first place (from NewEgg of coarse)

Pros: Received this order within 10 days, probably sooner if I had checked my mail. My computer only had 512 MB memory, so it was slow when it wanted to be lazy, with 2 GB it flies.Pages load quickly, and ripping a cd takes maybe 2 minutes. I am not that knowledgeable about the inner workings of the computer, I am self taught with lots of help. But if you are looking for additional memory for an excellent price. Go for it. My next project is adding another DVD/CD writer. That should be fun.....

Cons: If at first you don't succeed try again. I told you I am not very knowledgeable, I got the first memory stick in no problem. The second one would clip at the top or the bottom, not both. Then it finally dawned on me I needed to flip it over and put it in the correct way. Went right in first try. DUH!!!!!
Hope this helped someone.

The "DDR" for memory whether DDR, DDR2, Etc stands for "Double Data Rate" which simply means your 533mhz=266.5 x2. Note that it doesnt always equal the 533 or whatever mhz you buy but its alawys close.

Pros: Cheap Price!

Cons: I work fo a computer repair company and order memory all the time. However what I'm finding is that what you order is not always (especially with memory) what you get! I ordered PC2 4200 (533mhz) and Recieved PC2 4300 (266mhz)! It seems to be a practice I'm finding. And Newegg wants me to pay return shipping and charge me a restocking fee!

Pros: It's exactly what it says it is. Nothing else. I bought several sticks for some charity machines I was building for a local school.

Cons: Didn't quite fit as well as other ram into the ram slots. Still fit in, but it was a little harder to insert than it should have been. Not a big deal though.

Pros: It's Corsair; Low Cost; High Reliability; Low Heat Output; Good Bang For Your Buck.

Cons: Have Not Come Across Any.

Other Thoughts: I Exclusivly Use Corsair Memory In All Of My Systems, And In My Customers Systems, And Have Been Doing So For Years. It Is The Only Brand Of Memory That I Have Not Had A Single Problem With.

I Recently Paired This Ram With An ASUS M2N-MX SE Motherboard In A Budget Build For A Customer. Installed And Booted Up Without A Hitch. Passed Memtest With Flying Colors. Been Running Strong Ever Since. Of Course I Expect No Less From Corsair.

If This Is The Type Of Ram You Need, Get It.

Pros: Purchased this for a desktop that I use to run 2 VM's. Host PC running Win Xp 64bit, 1 Vm runs Win 2k, other Vm runs Win Xp.

Cons: Probably not your best friend if you require the best. Its just average, nothing special. But no real cons because if you wanted the best, you wouldn't spend the least.

Other Thoughts: For overclockers, this isn't the best model to get. For your everyday Joe who just needs the memory on a pc NOT running 64bit (because you really shouldn't be using 64bit if your not utilizing more then 3.5gb's of ram). then consider this model. Works fine and thats it.

Pros: For those looking to upgrade on a (mostly) factory built machine, this gets the job done. I had 1GB in there before and was using about half at idle, doubling leaves plenty of memory for gaming and then some.

Pros: Just arrived today, another fast 3rd-day delivery by Newegg/UPS. The installation was an easy snap. The stick increased the total memory of my system from 2 to 3 gigs. It works like a charm.

Cons: I wish it had a heat sink too, just for the looks. Can't be overclocked to over 533Mhz, but you probably won't need to anyway.

Other Thoughts: In my case, about 26% increase in general multitasking capability. It's a Corsair so I know it's made to last. I have one more open slot, so I might order one more soon. Then it'll be time to rig another box.
