Review: Most Affordable Ram Ever - I have an old Dell Vostro 3558 which was given to me from my workplace and due to the specs it was showing its age so i needed a quick and cheap way to upgrade my ram. Surprisingly, for its age, this laptop supports up to 16GB ram which is unheard of in a laptop of this age. i tried ram brand called qumox but, despite it being the same spec as the preinstalled memory, it was not compatible with my laptop. i had to return that one then, after researching further i found the exact spec and model of the preinstalled ram. Because, the ram is DDR3, it is really hard to find these days now with the market being dominated with DDR4 and the up and coming DDR5 memory spec. I took the plunge after doing a thorough research and found out that Crucial was the perfect upgrade. Even though this ram spec is hard to find in today's market, i managed to find it, even though it is coming from desertcart EU. After fitting the ram, it perfectly, detected the ram without too much trouble. The laptop had to restart a few times, so it can detect the new ram, and after a restart the laptop detected the ram as 16GB it was the perfect and cheap upgrade to an aging laptop. I am perfectly, happy with Crucial's quality and it worked like a dream. My laptop runs much faster now thanks to this upgrade. Will buy from Crucial again in the future. Some advice to future buyers, if you are looking to upgrade your laptop's memory make sure you buy the exact same spec as your existing memory otherwise, you will have incompatibilities with your laptop. so always make sure you buy the right ram and make sure it is the same as the one your laptop shipped with. also it is worth looking at the laptop's spec like your operating user manual or the laptop's official website as there will be plenty of documentation to help you, to make sure your ram is upgradeable.
Review: Excellent 16 GB RAM kit. Crucial are very hard to beat!! - I've been building custom PC rigs or upgrading stock PC's/laptops for myself, family, & friends for 25+ years as a DIY enthusiast. I usually purchase from Crucial directly but in this instance this RAM kit was a fair chunk cheaper on desertcart. When it comes to (SODIMM) RAM for laptops or mini PC's you really can't go far wrong with Crucial. I always shortlist their kits for comparison on performance, specs & cost with other top manufacturers. Frequently, you really have to do your homework to ensure you're choosing compatible RAM for your hardware or suffer the consequences & expense. Because Crucial have directly retailed their RAM for many years, their website has also had a built in "Advisor Tool" (compatibility checker) for years too. Literally ANYONE can easily find exactly what they need without needing to be an IT professional, DIY enthusiast, or spend endless hours researching their hardware to ensure they're choosing the right kit. (Crucial carry out extensive compatibility checks to save you the trouble). Additionally, I've only needed to return one RAM kit to Crucial out of multiple purchases over the years & I had the replacement within a couple of days. Their customer services are certainly well above par. Otherwise, I've never had a failure from their kit & some of it is still in use having been passed down, etc. I purchased this particular kit to upgrade a new Minix N42C-4 Mini PC/HTPC. It's absolutely ideal for the purpose & it gives me 4x the stock RAM (a considerable boost). My mini PC is coping with everything I'm asking of such a small system & more. As always, this Crucial kit is performing precisely as advertised. I'm very happy with it. Competitive prices & lifetime warranties backed up by their superb customer services make Crucial hard to beat. Depending on your requirements, this is a great kit that can completely transform an older laptop or mini PC, etc. Supplied in no fuss plastic packaging. Would always happily recommend Crucial. 5/5.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work for my Lenovo Essential G780?**
A: check with Crucial web site - they have an app that gives you the answer http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/systemscanner

**Q: Is this unbuffered, Non ECC memory, the product description suggests that it is desktop memory but with 204 pins it must be laptop, can you confirm?**
A: Yes, this is for laptops and some mini-itx motherboards and small systems like the Intel NUC

**Q: will this work in a lenovo x220?**
A: Needs a custom BIOS update to unlock the full speed setting, but yes i can confirm it works at full speed.

See http://x220.mcdonnelltech.com/resources/ for details on that and the required BIOS update.

**Q: HI, I have HP pavilion dv7 laptop currently having 8-GB (DDR3L-1600 - 	1600MHz (PC3-12800)) RAM, Is your 16 GM suitable for my laptop**
A: It should indeed be suitable for your laptop. Your laptop uses DDR3L low voltage ddr and is able to support 16Gb at PC3-12800 speeds. Should work like a charm.Good luck with your upgrade.LauraPs. Not all dv7 models are equally capable, some machines are spec'd at 8gb max others hand 16gb...be sure your model is a 16gb model.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Faultless
*by J***M on 24 June 2014*

Installed in minutes in my ThinkPad X220 increased my WEI score a wee bit over the mismatched pair of sticks that were in my laptop when I bought it second hand. Always wanted a machine with 16GB now I have it, even with multiple copies of Visual Studio open at the same time I am not really using the extra RAM but I will be installing VMWare Workstation or one of the other Virtualisation products and that will use up the RAM (and processor) pretty quickly :) What can you say, it's RAM it works, it's fast, it's a good brand name, it should be reliable and it was a very good price, price more than anything is what makes this one for me as I trust the brand and know the quality is there.
