Verdict and Conclusion
I have to say … what a difference 2Gb of memory actually makes.Thanks to Crucial, my little netbook has sprung to life! I’m now able to run several applications simultaneously with limited amount of lag or waiting time.
The whole experience using the netbook is a lot more enjoyable. I’m not saying it’s going to beat a notebook with an Intel Core 2 Solo processor, of course not … as my netbook only has an ATOM N450 running at 1.66Ghz. Still, the extra memory has made my Windows 7 Starter run a lot smoother and faster than, when I had the original 1Gb of ram installed.
Installing the memory module is relative simple and easy …so there’s no excuse why not to upgrade to 2Gb, if your netbook only comes with 1Gb of ram.
During our tests, you can see the difference in the boot up time between a netbook installed with 1Gb of ram versus one with 2Gb of ram installed. In fact, this review was written with several applications running simultaneously … including, MS Word, web-based CMS (IE8) with 3 windows opened, Excel, Photoshop CS4 (yes!), Kaspersky AV, MSN messenger and iTunes (downloading). Now, if that’s not enough … how about using my netbook in multi-monitor mode!
I forgot mention … all this time, I’m referring to my netbook. That’s because I’m using one now. But the fact is, these Crucial 2Gb PC2-5300 SODIMM memory modules can be used with many other notebooks and laptops as well. You need to check for compatibility on Crucial’s website.
What makes Crucial’s memory products so attractive is the price. They are among the most affordable memory upgrades available on the market. These 2Gb PC2-5300 SODIMM memory modules from Crucial costs around USD $49 or GBP 33.00, which I think is an absolute bargain.
Final words. If you want to upgrade the memory of your netbook, do it now with these 2Gb SODIMM memory modules from Crucial. They’re affordable, compatible with most netbooks and comes with life time warranty. Trust me, your experience when using your netbook with 2Gb of ram installed, will never be the same. Your productivity will definitely increase.
