Summary: Good Memory For The Price Paid.
Review: ... I was not sure if it is going to work with my computer or not because the memory I had is double sided and this is single sided. It did work but my motherboard started operating at 100 MHZ instead of the usual 133. But I had some significant performance boost. Recently I started getting errors about the OS not being able to read some memory locations so I tested the memory with a memory testing program and it said the chip is bad. I swapped the modules and did everything I could think of but the program displayed same results. I was getting ready to return it then I decided to give it one more time and then I reset the bios configuration. The motherboard again started operating at 133 MHZ and the memory testing program didnot display any errors. I think the problem was with the FSB rather than memory. Since the memory was very cheap, my guess is it cannot hold data at 100 MHZ for long enough to pass the memory test but for 133 MHZ its fine. Overall I am satisfied with this memory.
