6 hours later computer go zoooooom TL;DR at end
I have a P55-GD85 board. Thing is legit like 10 years old, and this is the first time I've upgraded the ram on it since it was built. Made the jump from 8gb to 16gb.After busting open my PC I unseated my old ram, popped these babies in, and I was off to the races. Checked the stats on my computer, and instead of 8gb my system now had access to 7.99gb of available ram of the 16gb installed. Befuddled I went to google to solve my issue. It told me to mess with msconfig and system settings, so I did, but it didn't do anything.I found some other discussions instructing the user to unseat their processor. I'm sure I'm not the only person who would rather not do that but I had no other leads. So I broke down the PC again. unseated the processor, removed the ram, and hit it with a lot of canned air. Honestly it was really overdue for a dusting. Reinstalled everything, and discovered that I didn't destroy my processor when my pc booted up again. This time 15.2gb available of 16gb. I messed with the settings some more, but couldn't get it any better than that. I figured I had technically upgraded my ram at this point and that was good enough for me. 3 hours from when I started and I called it a night.The next morning I grabbed breakfast for my wife and I and she informed me the computer wasn't working. Which was wild to me, it was working when I turned it off last night, so how could it be not working now? Now my wife is a teacher, and classes were starting the next day, and she's doing online teaching now thanks to rona, and my PC is going to be what she teaches from, so the pressure was on to get this thing running.Windows couldn't fix what was wrong, and even when I tried to repair it with the CD nothing would change. bsod every time.I had bumped the gfx card while installing the ram, so I figured maybe that had gotten unseated in the process, so I tore open my computer once more in order to make sure everything was nice and properly seated. blew air into the slot for the gfx card, reseated the ram again because why not, put it back together, mashed f8 and f10 during post, started in safe mode checked the stats 256mb available of 16gb. Funny but expected, and I was in windows - if I can access it I can fix it. Reset the settings on msconfig back to their defaults and restarted.I prayed. For the first time in 20 years I prayed to an almighty unknowable diety that this would be the last time I need to reboot. That windows starts properly and no more bsod. What I found is that if there is a god it's me! 16gb of ram installed, just like that, it only took me 3 hours the night before and 3 hours the following morning but I did it.TL;DR: when you install this on an old P55 board, remove processor and gfx card, spray dust away with canned air, replace everything and you'll probably be good.

Can you judge a book by its cover?
Can you judge a book (or memory in this case) by its cover? (see exhibit A). The outer protective layer (A) is a super thin plastic which you can find around dollar store toys. Never before i have seen such a low quality packaging for memory before. That alone should have told me the "quality" of its product. Anyhow, ignoring that I tried upgrading my dv7 with the slab.I couldn't boot after installing this memory. Tried again. not even the boot menu. well in few secs, something started burning inside. Not a good sign! This chip burned inside my memory slot (B:before and C:after) and its plastic sticker got almost melted! I gave a chance to this unknown name brand only because it was arriving in two days. Learned my lesson.

Works for me!
Installed in a Dell Optiplex 980 and it was recognized right away. No hassles. Good bang for the buck. My video surveillance system which originally had 4gb total, CPU and Memory usage went way down. The system runs faster and is way more responsive.For you non-techies; Check your motherboard specs to see what memory it supports. In my case it was 4gb per slot, 4 slots total. Also you must have a 64 bit operating system and a 64 bit processor or 16gb access won't work, the most you can get from 32 bits is 4gb total. It's best not to mix different memory modules but to use all matched memory modules.

Works as expected - do your research to ensure correct type, capacity, and speed.
Installed in an older ASUS laptop to increase RAM for Windows 10 about 3 months ago. All has been well, no issues.. I did have to use a YouTube video to confirm installation, because these modules require a specific angle of insertion and some force to snap into the socket, and I wanted to be sure I was doing it properly, lest I damage the module, SIMM slot, or both.Once installed, the BIOS POST recognized it without issue, and laptop performance improved considerably. Make sure to do your research and purchase the right type, capacity, and speed.

Exactly what I was looking for
I have a 7-year old PowerSpec G218 desktop that started blue screening and throwing other errors that I narrowed down to having been caused by issues with the RAM cards. These new cards arrived in perfect condition and after swapping out all of the old ones with the new, I haven't seen even a single blue screen and a memory check came up with zero issues. It's nice to be able to turn on my computer again without it blue screening every 10-30 minutes.

Works great, no issues
They came in a nice package and work great in my laptop, not only a size increase, but performance speed as well, good deal for me. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the 2x2gb sticks I took out...I understand the price is reflective of the availability, but it is a lot more than newer memory, I guess that it what I get for using a 9 yr old laptop.

Bringing life back to aging PC
This RAM brought life back to an aging Lenovo desktop. It was easy to install and uses Hynix memory chips. To my surprise, the RAM is less than a month out from manufacturing. My machine has an i5 - 650 processor.

Works fine - no issues - easy to install
I upgraded the memory of a HP (Compaq) Pavilion p6680t Desktop from 6 GB to 16 GB. Just removed the three old 2 GB modules, inserted the four new 4 GB modules into the slots, started the PC and the new memory was recognized instantly. Very happy with the product.

Works great. Good value and quality.
Upgraded the RAM on a Dell Inspiron 620 desktop that is running as a NAS. All 8 GB was registered on bootup with no issues after running 24/7 for over a month.

Excelente producto más de lo que esperaba.
Excelente producto, fácil de instalar y superó las expectativas que se tenían.El único problema, es que hace falta un poco más de información con el vender al solicitar compatibilidad..

Maximum transfer speed no spikes
iMac 2011 loved an upgrade, memory usage dropped down and stayed low (3gigs out of 16gigs in total) for most of the average usage: zoom, YouTube,notes, a few tasks.

Works as aspected
Bought these to revive an old 10 year old computer and works perfectly, booted up right away and all tests check out, no crashes.
