Top Performance with Great Savings
By ms-waterloo on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2013
Six months ago, I purchased two new Dell T3600 workstations primarily for use with AutoCAD, MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and SketchUp. It seems that memory upgrades from the manufacturer are always more than double what it costs to buy top rate components like this that I can easily install myself. I know some of you will say that only an idiot would buy a workstation instead of building it yourself. Others will say that only an idiot would put aftermarket RAM into a new workstation. I don't have time to build a new workstation every 6 months (that is about how often we need to replace a workstation to keep things in cycle)and I appreciate that an off-the-shelf has Autodesk and Adobe certification...you don't know how nice it is until your software dealer's tech support staff tries to blame problems on your non-certified hardware. Additionally, I am still cheap enough to figure I would rather pay myself over $200 for 10 minutes of work to install this RAM than to pay Dell the same to do it for me. Now to the subject RAM...it works great, makes my applications run smooth, and makes me forget that it is even there. In my opinion, that is the sign of good reliable hardware...it works so well that you forgot it is there. After getting memory specs from Dell's website, I visited Kingston's website and confirmed that I was ordering the right stuff. Amazon delivered the product quickly at a great price and the memory has been working flawlessly ever since.

Brand name computer owners - be advised that it is not recommended for DELL, or HP or others
By deepcool on Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2013
Great RAM. However, I give it one star because I should NOT have learned from Kingston Customer service that it is NOT recommended for some brands (such as my DELL XPS 8500) which have locked bios. This information must be included HERE on the AMAZON website! This RAM comes by default set at 1333MHZ. UNLESS you are able to change timing in your bios, it will NOT run at 1600Mhz. I am returning it because I would like to have it run at full speed on my DELL. I am confirming that this RAM will only run at 1333 Mhz on my machine and that in the process of securing as many sales as possible, someone omitted this vital information. I have placed more than 100 online orders and have almost NEVER had to return any items. Please be advised of this issue.
