## Description

From the manufacturer The fast, easy way to improve your desktop’s performance There’s an easy cure for a slow computer: more memory. Designed to help your system run faster and smoother, Crucial Desktop Memory is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to improve your system’s performance. Load programs faster. Increase responsiveness. Run data-intensive applications with ease, and increase your desktop’s multitasking capabilities. Make everything on your computer faster Memory is a component in your computer that enables short-term data access, which your computer relies on for moment-to-moment operations, such as loading apps, browsing the web, or editing a spreadsheet. Installing more memory in a slow PC is the easiest way to improve system performance quickly. Multitask with ease If you’re like us, you use your computer to do lots of things at once. You might be editing a document while also looking at pictures and browsing the internet. This naturally leads to a performance problem: every app you’re running requires memory and competes for a limited pool of resources. Overcome this by installing high-density modules in each memory slot on your desktop for seamless multitasking. Install with ease – no computer skills required With just a screwdriver, your owner’s manual, and a few minutes of time, you can install memory – no computer skills necessary. Just watch one of our three-minute install videos, and we’ll walk you step-by-step through the process. Don’t pay a computer shop to do something you can do in minutes! Maximize the value of your system At a fraction of the cost of a new system, a memory upgrade is one of the most affordable ways to increase performance. Get more out of your desktop by giving it the resources it needs to perform. Micron quality – a higher level of reliability As a brand of Micron, one of the largest memory manufacturers in the world, Crucial Desktop Memory is the standard for reliable performance. From the original SDRAM technology all the way to DDR4, we’ve engineered the memory technologies that have powered the world’s computers for 40 years and counting. Don’t settle for anything less.

Review: Great value 32GB module - NOTE: To avoid any confusion - I bought 2x Qty of these 32GB DIMM modules, which are sold individually! - So pictures show multiple but you will only actually get one of these. (I was being tight - because it was about £8 cheaper to buy 2x individual at the time than a kit with 2 modules!) I decided to bite the bullet and get myself a memory upgrade. Seeing as recommendation in motherboard manual was to either have 1 DIMM, 2 DIMMs or 4 DIMMs. I decided to buy 2x of these 32GB modules. I'd only recently upgraded my existing 2x 8GB to 32GB by adding another 2x 8GB. So the natural thing was to take out the newly added 2x 8GB (which was 3200mhz RAM and use them elsewhere in another machine which could take advantage of it). Before ordering do note that this memory is UDIMM (unbuffered) memory, which should work for most desktop motherboards, and I'd say is pretty much the standard. Having checked, all my existing RAM is unbuffered (including some Crucial Ballistix 3200MHZ) - but worth checking out nevertheless before you order. I did manage to verify compatibility on the website for my motherboard. So these items arrived with minimal packaging, just a plastic protective case, which is fine and I do like this approach. Do note that this RAM doesn't come with heat spreaders. In my opinion they're unecessary, but it does mean you have to handle the modules with a bit care since Switching off the PC, and removing the old modules was fairly easy. Using the removed modules as a guide to work out which way around the new ones went in (though you'd work it out pretty quickly without). Simply then carefully push the new modules in, ensuring they go all the way along into the slot - be careful if you apply a lot of force and it's not into the slot straight, you could damage the DIMM module or the motherboard. Once in, I switched on and went into the BIOS to check the memory was detected - it was. The new modules are 2666Mhz, but my existing 2 RAM modules are 2400Mhz RAM, so the overall running I believe is then restricted to the lowest of the RAM speeds. For me this is fine and as people say, in everyday usage you're usually better off with more slower speed RAM, than less amount of higher speed RAM. Running in WIndows, Task Manager shows up all the RAM, and I can now happily run multiple VMs etc without excessive paging to disk. It's only been one morning but complete stability as far as I can tell. Please assume that this is the case ever since this review - if are any problems with these modules at any point in future, I will be updating this review to reflect that. I bought 2x of these modules at £128 each at time of review and I felt it's good value at the price. Definitely very happy so far. Hope you found this useful.
Review: Basic RAM, easy to install, great value - The packaging: I ordered the 32GB kit which consisted of 2x16GB DDR4-2666 UDIMM sticks. They come in plastic packaging to keep them safe for transport. The packaging is able to be opened by hand which is a huge positive for me as quite often things like this come in plastic packaging which has no discernible opening and which must be opened by either knife or scissors through a layer of plastic then prised apart. Not so with this. Just insert your finger into the packaging and then open away. Excellent. The only improvement they could make to this would be for some more environmentally sound packaging. The memory itself: Please, please, please, check what RAM your motherboard and CPU supports before ordering it. If you do that, then I have no doubt that it will just work straight out of the box. Crucial does a great job of providing a compatibility checker on it's own website which I would highly recommend checking out before ordering any RAM. The installation: This couldn't be more simpler. Locate the correct RAM slots on your motherboard (this is going to vary by motherboard supplier), pull on the tabs to open up the slots and then click in the RAM sticks into each slot. If you are installing 2 RAM sticks into 2 slots, this is fairly straight forward. If you have 4 slots like I did, then make sure you're populating the correct two slots - again, check the manual of your motherboard for details here. If you already had a RAM stick in any of the slots that you're using, take it out before installing any RAM. There is a correct orientation of the RAM stick, if you look at the bottom of the stick, you'll notice there is a notch in it, which is slightly off centre. Use this notch to line up the RAM stick into the RAM slot and press it in. It can feel quite firm, so don't be scared, it should just be able to press in with a click by firmly pressing down on both sides of the RAM stick. Conclusion: If you want/need more RAM, this is a great, low cost option for adding some extra memory into your system. You'll notice a lot of improvement if you're coming from a lot less RAM (I went from 8GB to 32GB). The sorts of improvements you can expect are better performance of multi tasking which is absolutely essential for someone like me who has many processes running at the same time. Also, if you're a Chrome Tab lover, you can't get enough RAM.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with fujitsu esprimo d556 /e85 +**
A: yea it should. Ill looked at the specs of your pc and these should work fine.

**Q: Does this ram work with Ryzen**
A: For Ryzen you should go with 3000 or 3200 :)

**Q: Is this compatible with Dell G3 15 3000**
A: No this is desktop PC RAM, You would be looking for RAM in the SODIMM configuration. This is called DIMM and is too long to fit in a Laptop's RAM sockets.

**Q: Will this work with my Medion Erazer p7651 intel core i7-8550U cpu? thanks**
A: I do not know if this will work in your computer as I do not own one. 
If you go to the crucial website they have a tool which will tell you the best memory to suit your computer.
I hope that this helps.
Best Regards

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Necessary addition
*by S***R on 22 July 2021*

Bought a pre-built due to the GPU market being in a bad state, thing came with 8GB of RAM (this model) which would have been fine for my needs but the numpties that built it went with a single module as opposed to 2x4, leaving me with a rig running in single channel. Happy with the rig mind, but this was a much needed upgrade, both for future proofing and performance improvements all around. Ideally I'd have RAM at higher speed, 3200 is a good sweet spot but I didn't see the need to fork out £70 - 80 for another two sticks and picked up another one of these to tide me over for a bit instead. Easy to install, as RAM should be and cheap + cheerful.
