Crucial RAM 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 Desktop Memory CT2K102464BD160B

In short, this 16GB memory kit works very well in a Dell Inspiron 3250 i3 desktop computer. With the memory used in combination with a Crucial SSD drive, that cheap Inspiron 3250 is twice as fast at some operations and more than 300 times faster at other operations. I bought a Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit for an inexpensive Dell Inspiron 3250 i3 Windows 10 Pro desktop computer that I had on order through Dell's Outlet. I also bought a pair of Crucial MX300 525GB SSD (and a pair of Western Digital Blue 1TB drives) for the Inspiron 3250 (these two Crucial upgrades cost more than the price of the Outlet computer). Prior to swapping the single 4GB memory card and the stock 1TB Western Digital Blue hard drive for the two 8GB Crucial memory cards and a Crucial SSD, I used the Windows built-in benchmarking tool (this tool is built into Windows 7 and Windows 10 - Windows System Assessment Tool) to help determine the performance change due to the Crucial replacement parts. I repeated the test with both Windows 7 Pro and Windows 10 Pro. In short, the Crucial memory alone more than doubled both the computer's memory performance (2.13 times faster) and the integrated video memory throughput due to the computer now being able to use dual channel memory access with slightly higher clocked memory in both Windows 10 Pro and Windows 7 Pro. The Crucial SSD drive was 3.65 times faster at sequential read access than the WD Blue hard drive, and 340.68 times faster at random read than the WD Blue hard drive in Windows 10 Pro (only 316.53 times faster in Windows 7 Pro). So, the Crucial upgrades, even though they more than doubled the value of the Dell Inspiron 3250 i3 computer, significantly increased the potential performance of the computer. Summary details of the testing: From an administrator Windows command line I executed a command similar to the following to run the Windows System Assessment Tool's benchmark for each test: winsat formal -restart -v -xml c:\winstatresultsWindows10-4GB.xml Original single Hynix 4GB 12800U-11-13-A1 memory card and WD Blue hard drive (Win 10 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 1999.76MB Memory Performance 10658.95 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 2993.58 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 135.49 MB/s 7.0 Disk Random 16.0 Read 2.05 MB/s 4.2 (this appears to be a fluke, see below) Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and WD Blue hard drive (Win 10 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 8143.76MB Memory Performance 22783.16 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 6355.53 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 136.20 MB/s 7.0 Disk Random 16.0 Read 1.28 MB/s 3.6 Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and Crucial SSD (cloned HD to SSD, Win 10 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 8143.76MB Memory Performance 22635.85 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 6392.51 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 497.43 MB/s 8.1 Disk Random 16.0 Read 436.07 MB/s 8.2 Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and new WD Blue 1TB hard drive (cloned SSD to new WD HD, Win 10 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 8143.76MB Memory Performance 21998.35 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 5329.78 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 142.87 MB/s 7.1 Disk Random 16.0 Read 1.45 MB/s 3.9 --- Original single Hynix 4GB 12800U-11-13-A1 memory card and new WD Blue hard drive (Win 7 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 1632MB Memory Performance 11141.00 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 4613.53 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 139.70 MB/s 7.1 Disk Random 16.0 Read 1.52 MB/s 4.0 Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and new WD Blue 1TB hard drive (fresh install of Win 7 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 1632MB Memory Performance 23564.36 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 9988.00 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 139.15 MB/s 7.1 Disk Random 16.0 Read 1.47 MB/s 3.9 Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and Crucial SSD (cloned HD to SSD, Win 7 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 1632MB Memory Performance 23140.27 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 9807.77 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 501.99 MB/s 7.9 Disk Random 16.0 Read 465.30 MB/s 7.9

Been creating concept artwork and painting for 7 years with an old computer running with 8GB ram on Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Throughout the years, the 8GB memory ram started to struggling to speed up the process, because the new Adobe new releases for Windows 10 I’ve upgraded from 8.1 after my Windows XP 2000 died on me. For years, I never thought about upgrading a memory rams because I always saving money for new computer to run each Adobe new release to try out with new painting brushes. Until then I decided to do some research for get a right ram to speed up my 7 years old computer from 8GB ram to 16GB ram on a H16M-HVS motherboard. So I can finish my art faster for the clients. This rams is not only make me happy, but my clients are happy to received their portrait painting within days! At first I was worried about buying a wrong rams from Crucial, because I don’t know much about PC. So I used the Amazon recommendation information about my motherboard and it show me this rams will fits this old PC. And it’s work after it arrived to my place! Installing the rams isn’t that hard after I did some researched on YouTube on how to install a rams and CPU cooler fans. I was very happy with this rams. And it’s make it PC run faster with art programs I’ve always enjoy creating art painting! Thank you so much Crucial for the amazing rams! Will definitely looking forward to buy more from them again in the future!

Have not purchased DDR3 in a long time, but wanted to extend the life of a secondary computer that only had 8Gigs (2x4Gigs) of RAM. Ran across some 8Gig sticks of Crucial on Amazon that did not say it was used so decided to order two fully expecting to receive used memory sticks. Documents with my order stated the RAM sticks are NEW! Dropped the new sticks in and everything has fired up and been running great. Very pleased. I did not see any evidence that theses stick were previously used (no scrapes on the contacts, etc). Finally, the price was very good. Cost per Gig was less than half of what I paid when I built the PC. Very happy with this purchase.

This memory was selected as an upgrade to a computer that already had memory installed. I did the research prior to ordering to determine the type, size and specification of memory that I could order for the computer I was upgrading in order to seamlessly max out the amount of memory that the computer could have installed and use, given the amount of memory (and its specs) that was already installed. Once I had the information that I needed to confidently order the product, I did so, and promptly installed and tested it after receipt before writing this review. The product that I ordered was exactly what was needed, and appears to be working without any problems, which speaks to its quality. I am very satisfied with this purchase; the product arrived well before the projected delivery date and in great condition. I will definitely order from this vendor if the need arises.

Working great in my 2014 Dell XPS 8700! With this 16gb kit I was able to max out my ram at 32gb.

Usually when RAM is marketed as a 16GB kit (2x8GB), they are a matched set in one package, better ensuring that they will work in a dual channel configuration. The same RAM sticks but not matched can sometimes not work as dual channel. I ordered 2 kits to replace the RAM in my older PC to get 32GB, and received 4 individually packaged RAM sticks, so was a little worried, but installed them and they are running in dual channel configuration, so I'm happy about that, and they seem to be fine, no errors and they appear to be running fine.

Now that I have to work from home, I needed faster machine. I upgraded my system from 8 gigs of RAM to 32 gigs of ram. It was easy to remove these and install these in my very old HP system. I also added a SSD HD. now it boots up fast and runs much more smoothly. Did you know the more RAM you have in your system the longer your SSD drive will work? That's because it has to do less "paging" (your OS won't use your SSD HD as RAM as often as it would have) now that you have more RAM in your system. For SSD, it is recommended that your system RAM should be 32 to 64 gigs to help extend life of your SSD drive. My computer could only take 32 gigs, so it is now maxed out.

Got a great price on this RAM upgrade. It came sooner than expected and my computer is zinging along!
