Review : Sound product, great value, fast delivery
I bought 2x1GB memory cards to speed up my old DELL 5150. I installed them easily and there is a distinct performance improvement. Now I'll buy some more to get the full 4GB on my Windows XP machine. Excellent value, fast delivery.

I was careful to read the manual to make sure that these cards were the right spec (and not buy a card that had a higher spec than the computer could benefit from i.e. If you buy (say) 800MHz they won't run faster than 533MHz in my old machine). Also, if you install a new pair of cards with the old ones, the old ones might be 400MHz (mine were) - then Windows XP runs ALL the memory at the lowest speed. (These memory cards are 667MHz, but I think they were cheaper than the 533MHz equivalents anyway.)

Now I'm confident I've got the right spec and they work, I'll be replacing the remaining 2 memory cards to get the full 4GB = 4x1GB which is the best configuration. At this price, its worth doing - less than half the price of DELL...
