A-Tech 1GB DDR2 800MHz SODIMM PC2-6400 1.8V CL6 200-Pin Non-ECC Unbuffered Laptop RAM Memory Upgrade Module

A-TECH memory has become a solid standard in memory products, and for very good reasons. I remember calling and driving all over Phoenix in the old days, looking for someplace that has this brand in stock. Thankfully, I don't have to do that anymore. I've never had an A-TECH memory module go bad, and I can't say that about any of the other brands. I was upgrading an old system to give my youngest child as her first computer. I bought the module, plugged it in, it was immediately recognized and working perfectly. Not times were cut down by 3/4, and Windows screens suddenly had instantaneous behavior.

A bit pricy but A- tech has yet to fail me.Originally the Toshibas above were only spec'd out to run 4GB ram memory. But if you have a 64 bit OS like Linux or WIndows XP/7/8/10 and also have a 64 bit processor you can put 8 GB (2 x 4GB) of ram into these machines.Upgrade the processor (800 MHZ FSB max with the GL40 chipset) with something like an Intel T9500 core 2 duo or lower, switch to an SSD drive, and upgrade the wireless card with an Intel AC 7260 and you have a real screamer of a laptop for a media server or a simply way to surf the web at over 800 mbs/sec. (if your router and ISP are up to the job).These laptops were made in 2009 and still handle windows well with the upgrades. It might not be great for more modern games that require high end graphics cards/chips but it can definitely go retro without a hitch.Currently I am running windows 8.1 64-bit and the system is a real screamer. Perfect for a budget rebuild. I max out my ISP transfer rates at 200 mb/s. These upgrades are perfect for a child's first computer.

The media could not be loaded. Bought this Module to Upgrade the Memory of my Vintage HP Pavilion DV2-1010LA (Single RAM Slot) before Forcing Windows 11 Pro on it (Single Core 1.6 GHz AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 Processor) and It worked perfectly at it maximum 800 MHz frequency. I finished my ME BSc with that device, a gift from my Dad (RIP), so It deserves all upgrades it can take. I even got a way to install an M.2 SSD using its WWAN Slot B-) (the one next to the Memory Slot).

I've got an older laptop (Dell D630) that I use for diagnostics on my even older BMW. The memory is the exact item used for this family of Dell laptops. Its still working after several months and I don't see anything out of the ordinary in its operations. I run Ubuntu and Windows XP (on separate hard drives) on the same machine and it works with either OS just fine.

Put the Ram in my gramps laptop and the boost got him just enough to watch youtube on a Linux distro. (He has a newer one he is just want old things to run just in case)

The ram is amazing, the 4gbs is working better then the 1gb of ram or what I had in it.

Bought this to increase the RAM available on an old Sony Vaio from 4GB to 8GB. Definitely seems faster than the old RAM that was inside - made the computer more responsive. If you pair this with an SSD upgrade, one could turn an old computer into a decent web surfing machine.

Sped up my old laptop after a Linux 64 bit install.
