KINGMAX 1GB 200-Pin DDR SO-DIMM DDR 266 (PC 2100) Laptop Memory Model MSDD42F-KI - OEM

Pros: Low cost, fast shipping from NewEgg. Very reliable. 1GB is an excellent upgrade.

Cons: Packaging could be better.

Overall Review: You can only test the reliability of RAM over a long period of time. They all work out of the box, but will they be reliable? Luckily, mine has served me very well over the 12 months I've had it. [Installed in Toshiba P25-6523 laptop]

Pros: Stick lasted over a year with no problems at all

Cons: Recently stick failed out of nowhere, acquiring RMA

Overall Review: Cheap memory, but difference in price probably not worth the hassle. Pay 10-20$ more for a reliable card.

Pros: Replacement RAM working well for 9 months now!

Cons: Initial stick failed in first 1-2 days, RMA'ed

Overall Review: Running well in Mac iBook 15inch for 9 months now, really improves usability. Compare reviews for reliability; however, I'd probably purchase the Kingmax again given the same info as I had.

Pros: Good memory. Reliable, fast, cheap.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I am so glad I bought this for my G4 ibook. It's like I have a whole new computer now. Dashboard pops up quickly, garageband works, etc.

Pros: Cheap and seemed to work well while it lasted.

Cons: My second stick of this ram just died. They lasted about 4-6 months each. I'm getting my money back and will be buying another brand.

Overall Review: I would avoid this ram because of the trouble of RMAing it. I bought it in the first place because it was the cheapest stuff available. If you don't mind boxing it up and sending it off and waiting for a new one every 4-6 months, go ahead and buy. otherwise stay away.

Pros: Slipped right in and booted right up in my Apple Paowerbook G4 867mhz 12". Apps seem to snap a better than before.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: Relatively cheap. The ram performed well for about 4 months.

Cons: It failed after about 4 months. Looking at other reviews, it appears that this ram is extremely unreliable.

Overall Review: Stay away from this ram. Pay a little more if you have to, but get something more reliable.

Comments: I had this memory also for four months before it died on me! I started getting errors a week before it died and then kaput. The memory worked fine up until this point, but lasting only four months is very poor indeed!
