I recently ordered memory for an older laptop. I did not pay close attention & only ordered a 1GB card. Arrived in 3 days. When I went to install I saw 2 cards in computer. I went back online -saw the LT accommodates 2GB so I ordered 2nd card. Again arrived in 3 days. I had some concern about compatibility since I wasn't ordering from the mfr. I had a question and emailed the company - had a response within 24 hrs. The memory was very easy to install, LT recognized it, & reset paging files =LT is running really fast now. I highly recommend this company for great products, service, & support!

My 4 year old Dell laptop was running super slow and I was debating on whether to buy a new one or just try switching out the memory. After a quick web search, I was pleased to find the EDGE Tech website and their easy step-by-step instructions on how to locate the right product, purchase it and even how to switch it out. My memory arrived quickly and without any issues. I will definitely use Edge Tech for any needs I have in the future.

When I saw what Dell and Staples wanted for the same product I immediately purchased from Edge. I couldn't be happier. Their product description, ease of ordering, as well as shipping updates made me a happy customer. Memory is working without any problems and I like the fact that I was able to return old memory for recycling.

The memory arrived quickly and well packaged. Watching the videos on the web site made installation a snap and I feel comfortable recommending the use of this site to others. I compared a lot of sites for the best value and Edgetech had the best pricing. It was also much simpler to match up the computer to my memory needs on Edgetechs site. It is amazing how easy the entire process was from start to finish. I have a lot of different computers in my company and I will start using Edgetech a lot more to get the upgrades that I need. I can't believe I didn't tackle some of this earlier by myself. I could have had a lot more speed, a lot earlier, with not a lot of hassle. Thanks.

Ordered two of these for my Dell D410. Maxed it out at 2GB of RAM. No problems. Order tracking process and information provided during each step of the process is superior.

I made the mistake 4 years ago of buying Dell's second cheapest laptop. To make matters even worse, it arrived with VISTA. For all these years I've been frustrated by its incredibly slow speed and constant freezing.
Then I bought a new printer and attempted to hook it up to my laptop and was told I didn't have enough RAM. I did a couple of internet searches to find out how to install more RAM and found EdgeTech's video that showed how easy it was to do, so I ordered a 1 gig RAM stick and with some fumbling, managed to install it myself, then hook up my new printer. Success!!!
Thank you, EdgeTech, for the video which made it fairly easy for this completely mechanically declined woman to install the RAM stick. Now my ancient Inspiron is (relatively) blazingly fast and I am very, very happy with my purchase!

The product was just as described. Better info than I received on Dell's site about the product. Being that my pc is and older one it was a relief find what I was looking for on your site not the mention being able to get all of the specs I needed. Thank you
Memory or RAM is a piece of hardware in your computer that holds software applications that you are working on. It serves as temporary working space between your computer’s hard drive and CPU.
Adding memory will improve your computer’s performance. Specifically, it will speed up opening new applications, running multiple applications at once, and switching between software applications (multi-tasking).
One task that additional memory speeds up is opening a new software application. Let’s take this as an example. When you open a new application on your computer, your computer’s CPU fetches the application from the hard drive and stores it in RAM memory. It stores it in RAM because RAM is very fast relative to the hard drive. When RAM gets full, and you open a new application then the CPU needs to kick out one of your open applications, put it back on the slow hard drive, fetch the new application from the hard drive, and place the new application in RAM. Basically, it swaps the applications.
This game of swapping wastes time. Ideally, your computer could have an infinite amount of RAM. Then your CPU would fetch an application once from the hard drive, save it into RAM, and never need to kick out another application. There is no such thing as infinite RAM, but you can max out the RAM on your computer by adding the maximum amount of memory to each socket.
To max out your RAM memory, add the maximum amount of memory to each memory socket. To find out how much RAM each socket can support, divide the system maximum RAM amount by the total number of sockets in your system.
For example, if your system maximum RAM is 2GB, and your system has 2 total sockets then the maximum amount each socket can support is 1GB. If one of the sockets is already filled then you can always remove the existing module and replace it with a higher capacity module.
No. The 1975 Magnusson-Moss Act prevents OEM manufacturers from disqualifying a warranty when 3rd party memory is used. For more details, please see the Magnuson-Moss Act.
Memory speed refers to the amount of time that memory (RAM) takes to put data into its memory or send it out. Your device’s memory will have an upper limit on the speed at which it can operate.
A memory kit is a number of memory modules sold as a unit or a kit. For example, a 1GB memory kit will contain two 512MB modules. This is written as (2x512MB).
