Should have upgraded with these much sooner!
Once in a while, my desktop would freeze, or crash with a message of memory dump. Not sure if the original RAM contributed to these or they were caused by something else altogether. At other times, the PC just seemed slow, especially when I had several applications open and running. Thinking the PC’s original RAM maybe insufficient or getting old or both, I started to look for additional RAM. Online searches suggested using the tool on Crucial website to scan the computer for compatible RAM, I did just that. It scanned my computer and told me that it had 4GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB), and that there are two empty slots available. It also provided me details about my current RAM (DDR3, 1333 MHz, etc.) and compatible Crucial RAM modules. Very nice tool!I decided to get 2 additional modules of 4GB each or total of 8GB. I almost purchased the Corsair Vengeance because of its popularity. But then I read how some users had fit and clearance issues with the Vengeance due to its size. To avoid that problem, I went with these Crucial Ballistix 2x4 GB modules.Upon opening my desktop PC tower to install the Crucial RAM sticks, I was glad that I went with these Ballistix. They are the same height as the original RAM modules, and there is not much clearance. I removed the original 2x2 GB modules (already 6 years old) and put them in the slots that have been open since purchase. Then I inserted the Ballistix in their place to have them closest to the CPU. Installation was very easy and quick. Afterward, I verified that the system now recognizes that total RAM is now 12 GB (new 8G + original 4G).It has been two weeks since I installed the Ballistix modules. So far no more crashes. Also everything just seems much quicker than before, especially when I have multiple applications running at the same time.Very glad I purchased this item. I should have done this sooner.
