I just ordered two of these sets, and both came as advertised. Each package contained two memory cards at 1gb each. And together, they work exactly as you would expect 4gb of memory to work.

I felt I had to leave this review so that people aren't put off by the previous reviewer who claims to have ordered this product and received only one card.

I ordered this because I was having file corruption issues and during the fix the tech told me my machine was running way too slow - a virtually new Dell running Vista with 1GB RAM. Supposedly Vista only requires 512MB but the tech laughed and said it eats 1GB routinely. So I ordered up the 2GB Crucial chipset. They slid right in, the computer recognized them, and we were off to the races. Much, much better. Web pages fill 3x faster, multitasking programs snap back and forth with authority and (I swear) I lost a couple of extra pounds and some of my hair grew back in. Amazing. It still takes too long to boot Vista, but throwing another 2 gigs at Vista is like hooking up 2 more tugboats to the Titanic. It helps, but not much. Not a total fix, but much recommended.

I needed to increase my computer's performance, and while chatting with a computer geek friend of mine, he suggested this option. I trusted his judgment as he had never let me down over the years. And he suggested Crucial, even though it was priced less then the higher priced competitors, so I went to the Crucial website, ran a scan on my computer, and they suggested this item.

Even though my computer is a little old (1 and 1/2 years old) this product made a marked improvement with regards to it's performance.
These were easy to install, took all of a couple of minutes, and wallah, I was done. I suggest this product for anyone that may want to upgrade their system without spending a lot of money, or even buying a new computer.

Great bargain for 2 gigabites of memory. Works fine in my machine. Certainly not worth paying 2 or 3 times the amount that you could pay for other brands.

The memory was fully compatible with my Dell Dimension computer. Recognized when powered up and took only minutes to install.
