Crucial CT12864AC667 1 GB DDR2 667MHz (PC2-5300) CL5 SODIMM 200-Pin Memory

Correct item as ordered, quick delivery.

I have a Samsung N150 Netbook that I bought from Amazon some time ago; it runs XPHome and had only 1GB of Ram, given the cut down processer this proved painfully slow.Dual booting into Linux didn't solve the problem or trying to get rid of some of the bloatware installed on the machine by Samsung didn't seem to work either. If i'm honest the device I bought to replace a much loved Palm PDA was turning into a complete bust and was almost unusable. It was so bad I was starting to enjoy using my 15" Laptop that has Vista installed on it over my netbook. I like so many others loathe Vista with a passion.This was a last gasp, I didn't want to pay out hunderds on Windows 7 on the off chance that it would do the job and I also didn't want to have to learn a new operating system or have the attendant problems of keeping everything in sync, not to mention compatibility issues with various peices of software that I depend on. After making sure that this was the right memory unit, bit more info about modal compatibility on the listing would have helped, I ordered and when it arrived I decided to have a go at fitting it myself; some of the reviews said it was relativly easy. I'm more used to trouble shooting the software side of things and the last time I had a hardware problem my computer guy charged me £40.00 for fitting when I had my laptop's memory enhanced.With a certain amount of trepidation I took the cover off and stared at the contents, then holding my breath, courage in hand, flipped the two clips and lifted the old unit out, put the new unit in and made sure that it was secure, sorted. It took thirty to forty seconds and was so simple. All covers replaced and netbook turned on, booting like normal, control panel says I now have 2 gb of memory and the boot time seems to be a lot faster and it is certainly a lot more responsive when in use.I was charged a pound a second by a seeming professional and to add insult to injury was charged full price for the memory upgrade as well; if I'd only known how simple it was I would have saved myself a good deal of money and a fair amount of time; they kept my laptop for three days.So rather than be ripped off you can do it yourself; just make sure you follow the included instructions.My netbook is now at least usable and although not a joy is a great deal less of a chore to use. Next project is an upgrade on an old tablet computer, wish me luck.

Have you bought a netbook? Running Windows 7 Starter? Only came with a miserly 1GB of memory? Seems to run "a bit slow"? What you want is something like this...Windows 7 starter like most modern OS's runs at its best with more memory, and to be blunt 1GB is the bare minimum for a working system. Its like having a new car and only fitting a 10 Litre fuel tank, you can use it for a bit, but you'll never make the most of it, until you've got that bigger fuel tank.Quick review: This memory is made by a well respected memory manufacturer. I've used 2 of these so far to upgrade both my wife, and sons netbooks, it really does make a difference, as long as you take care of a little basic computer maintenance like regular defragging hard drive, registry cleans etc. Or maybe you are looking to upgrade an old laptop running windows XP/98 etc. This is probably the cheapest, easiest and quickest way to make things run faster.With 2GB your netbook will start to run closer to the speed of a normal computer, and thats where this comes into play. Its basic things that you will see the most improvement in, like starting windows, opening programmes etc., it all makes windows just a bit more usable in everything you do. Its a real, noticeable improvement.DONT PAY FOR SOMEONE TO DO THIS! (unless you enjoy being ripped off)This will take all of 3 mins to do as an upgrade, and requires nothing more than a small x point screwdriver. Its not scary to do, its not difficult to do, and yes even you can do it.Heres a quick how to:Order one of these, and wait for the posty.Start by TURNING OFF your netbook, unplug it then remove the battery.Then flip your netbook over, and look an the underneath. There should be a small hatch for the memory, probably in the region of 1 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" long, with a small picture that looks a bit like the memory module (in a kind of cubist/impressionist way). Once you've located the hatch, brandish your small x point screwdriver in a manly/womanly way (depending on what mood you are in) and pop that sucker off.Underneath you'll see something that looks just like your new memory unit, the sides will have 2 metal clips that are holding it in place, and the bottom will be a plastic socket that all the metal contacts on the memory module slip into. Use your thumbs to GENTLY prize the two metal clips on the sides of the old memory module outwards away from the memory module. The old module will pop up slightly. Remove the old memory unit.Pop the new module in the socket on your netbook (you got the old one out, so its no great leap of faith to refit the new one) ensure the new memory module goes fully into the socket. Theres an offset slot in the memory module, so it can only go in one way round. Refit the memory module cover.RESULT!, you did it! pop your battery in, plug in and fire that netbook up. Enjoy your netbook at a more realistic pace. In the unlikely event it doesn't fire up, DON'T PANIC, you just need to ensure you've pushed the memory fully into its socket.

They are exactly as described and 5 years later still working fine
