This was so easy!

"I used the Crucial memory scan tool to determine if my old Dell XPSR400 (upgraded Celeron 1.4G processor) could exceed the factory stated memory limit of 384MB.

I want my money back

"After removing older memory I added 256 MB memory module. After turning the computer on, it beeped several times and died. I took it to my tech people at work and they said there was no hope of reviving my computer. I had to throw it out and want my money back. [@]..." Read Full Review »

"I have an old dinosaur of a computer. It was very slow and getting to be a real aggravation. I bought some new software that I couldn't run due to insufficient memory. I started looking into increasing my memory and was referred to Crucial by a retailer. Crucial analyzed my system and made recom …"  Read Full Review »

"I'd ordered other memory and it didn't work, perhaps a mis-match or not installing in pairs. Anyhow, the Crucial site was recommended and the analyzer automatically chose memory for me. It works and my older Compac Presario 5000 (running XP) now has 512MB rather than 192MB. It does not seem to ru …"  Read Full Review »

"Since I had my computer upgraded to Service Pack III, it would sometimes take 15 minutes or more to open my e-mail, or even write something to word!
