Easy upgrade

Pros: Standard (and easy) install process, BIOS detected memory change on startup and updated, reboot and presto - memory upgrade from 1G to 2G on my old Dell Dimension 2400. No problems since and the machine has been running great.

Cons: None to date.

Overall Review: Used to have periodic page faults/cannot read from address with my old RAM and no longer getting them after the upgrade. This lends credence to my belief that my old RAM was failing/faulty. Well worth the investment.

Nice and easy

Pros: Worked beautifully right out of the box, no stuck pixels on either of the 2 I bought as upgrades for my kids PC's (from 15" CRTs). Built in speakers helped free up even more room on their desks. Easy setup w/ VGA D-Sub and Win XP detected/adjusted monitor device profile automatically. Quick display setting change and we were in business. Front speaker volume control buttons were nice too. Good viewing angle and decent brightness, easily readable from a greater distance than the CRTs they replaced.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Built-in speakers are a bit tinny, but that is a common issue for most built-ins. Better than nothing and actually better than expected, but certainly not surround sound. Waiting to adjust brightness/colors until my calibration tool arrives. DVI connector available, but no DVI cards in systems attached too, so they were not tested.
