Most Favorable Review

Good Generic RAM

AllComponents 512MB 144-Pin SO-DIMM PC 100 Laptop Memory Model ACSO100X64/512
AllComponents 512MB 144-Pin SO-DIMM PC 100 Laptop Memory Model ACSO100X64/512

Pros: Good standard memory. Worked like a charm in my Inspiron 8000, which is one of the world's most finicky laptops when it comes to memory. Fair price. Can't go wrong.

Cons: Can you have a con with a 512MB SO-DIMM????

Beware

BELKIN F5D7010 Wireless G Notebook Card

Pros: None so far.

Cons: If you have a F5D7010 V.7000, there are no driver files that will work if you choose to install manually. You must use the setup application that turns off the windows wireless app. When app is running, I can't find any of my access points.

Overall Review: This card (F5D7010) has numerous revisions, all with different chipsets and drivers. I previously reviewed a 1000 series card that had the same issues but did have driver files. Buyer beware.

Works in iMac G5 mostly

Pros: Price, moderate compatability.

Cons: Moderate compatability

Overall Review: The chip works in a 20" iMac G5 with iSight but. It does not work at PC-4200 but down clocks to PC-3200 like most other chips. Not sure why but Macs tend to be rather finiky with their RAM.

Good RAM for older Dells

G.SKILL 1GB 200-Pin DDR SO-DIMM DDR 333 (PC 2700) Laptop Memory Model F1-2700CL3S-1GBSA
G.SKILL 1GB 200-Pin DDR SO-DIMM DDR 333 (PC 2700) Laptop Memory Model F1-2700CL3S-1GBSA

Pros: These chips from G.Skill have been very flexible and have worked on all the old Dells I am responsible for. They function in Inspiron 600m, 5100, 5150 and Latitude D600 laptops. Good price to bring life back to a machine that was previously a write off.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: G.Skill is quickly becoming my memory of choice. They have a good price on basic RAM and it is very compatible in my experience.

Good stable RAM

G.SKILL 2GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL6S-2GBMQ

Pros: Used this to build a Windows 7 gaming system based on an EVGA GTX280 and an Athlon X2 5000+. Have had no problems at all with four of these in an ASUS Crosshair mobo.

Cons: None!

Solid and quiet

Pros: This unit is powering an Athlon X2 5000+ and an EVGA GTX280. Runs quiet and is built solidly from a solid aluminum extrusion. Plenty of power connectors and includes an 8pin 12v mobo power connector as well. Also very well ventilated

Cons: The pictures on NewEgg could be better. I took a gamble that this did not have the 8pin 12v mobo connector. I lucked out.

Overall Review: I like the construction and engineering of this unit. This is my first Sigma and I'm not disappointed.
