TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW

It came with a heat spreader and it is a brand I trust.

none

It was plug and play with my eee 1000h, my eee recognized it right away and the ram has improved my systems performance noticeably. (especially in World of Warcraft)
Overall a great buy and I would do it again.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Big oops!

Have macbook early 08 trying to breath some new life into it. Just added an ssd and was weighing the benefits of 4gb dual channel vs 6gb (2x4) cuz that's all my system can do. Went for this cuz Price seemed right and has a built in heat sink(which should help the lava temps the bottom of my macbook gets to). Arrived on time and slid right in to my ram slot! Unfortunately my computer didn't turn on....(read cons).

Went to put old ram back and it didn't fit in one of the slots(didn't force it either). Looked closer and saw something shiny in the way (heart dropped to stomach @ that point). Took laptop apart to find the shiny thing was my keyboard connector and the built in heatsink had partially torn it !@$&!!! Sooooo I'm out a keyboard and haven't gotten to try this product. Also put the gskill back in while comp was apart seemed to pinch the edges of the heatsink in. Still seems to fit nice tho.

The ram itself seems sturdy. Had stickers with recent date. I plan on giving another review once I get my machine running. To be clear I followed all the correct processes during installation and troubleshooting( this ain't my 1st rodeo). I feel the issues I had came from the unique design of this ram. Not sure how I could have avoided this.
