For those looking to upgrade the same machine, this module was bought to improve the drastically poor performance of a Microstar/Medion Laptop model MD2020 / MD41060, which originally came fitted with 128MB of internal memory. There's a SODIMM slot under the hatch on the bottom about which there is no info in the manual, but a call to their tech support led me to order the module being commented on here.

It's pretty hard to review a memory module - it either works or it doesn't, but it totally transformed the performance of the machine it was bought for and so far has worked faultlessly. You can't get better than that. So why four stars and not five?

The actual module supplied (By 'Whicher' through Amazon's marketplace in my case) turned out to be branded 'Adata' when it arrived, and this is the second time that Amazon have done this to me (the previous case was a 'Bytestor' CF card which wasn't Bytestor either). I think that Amazon ought to be a little more militant about this, and insist that what we see is what we get, or that we should be contacted by the supplier first if the goods differ at all from those ordered.

I bought this for my acer aspire 3000 which i bought just to use for internet word docs ect. My note book was slow even running these tasks before i installed this. I installed this ram which took me around 5 minutes and i turned my computer on where i was delighted with the performance. SO so much quicked turns on fast loads every thing much faster if you have a aspire buy one of these for the sake of 40 pounds it makes it feel like a new note book.

This memory card is excellent value and good quality.

I upgraded my Apple Powerbook from 512MB to 1GB and have noticed I can open all the applications I need without any slowdown, it also starts quicker than before.

If you have a PC or Apple laptop, at this price you have no excuse, upgrade now!

I had an hp laptop running xp pro with 256 meg, when i used a memory watch program i noted that after loading which took it's time i only had 40-50 meg of memory left. the comp is used for excel, word, photo's, internet, music and to watch dvds (i had a lot of break-up). after fitting this memory, the comp loads faster, runs smoother, responds quicker and still leaves me with aprox 400 meg to spair for the dvds, this is the best ad-on that i have purchased, no problems with the fitting, fully working without any odd happenings. i recomend this module.

I had updated the RAM on my Dell Inspiron 8200 from a measly 256 to 512MB several years ago. The laptop has a max memory capacity of 1GB and since the laptop was now beginning to struggle running my apps I thought it was time to upgrade the mem to its max capacity. I ordered 2 x ByteStor 512MB from Amazon because it was the cheapest price I could find on the net. The ordering process was simple and the item was delivered on time. Replacing the SODIMM was very straight forward and worked straight away. Now the laptop has a new lease of life and no longer struggles when launching apps. I am very happy with the purchase and would gladly recommend it other prospective buyers.
