A-Tech 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 2666MHz PC4-21300 (PC4-2666V) CL19 SODIMM 1.2V 260-Pin Non-ECC SO-DIMM Laptop Notebook RAM Memory Modules

note: This is in response to the other review titled "Scam Stick Sent" that was posted on August 20, 2021.I also bought the same RAM from Amazon and installed it in my laptop, only to see 5.9GB free/available for the system to use ...so why is the advertised/printed 8GB not being shown? What’s going on!?!If you look at one of the pictures that the other reviewer posted, specifically the one that shows the BIOS (i.e. shows that they have an Acer Aspire A515-43), you'll notice near the top that this laptop has an AMD Ryzen 3 in it. I don't have the same exact laptop as this other reviewer, but mine has an AMD Ryzen 3 in it as well. This is important to note because these AMD Ryzen 3 chips are actually APUs (Accelerated Processing Units) which in very basic terms combines the functions of the CPU and GPU on a single die. In other words, this APU also serves as the iGPU (integrated Graphics Processing Unit) for the system. The reason why we're seeing 5.9GB of available RAM is because a portion of the installed 8GB system memory has been allocated for the APU/iGPU to use since it doesn't have its own dedicated memory, a design called "shared graphics memory" (go ahead and Google it for more info).If you’re lucky, you might have a setting in your BIOS that allows you to adjust how much memory to allocate to the iGPU (though you won’t get the full 8GB back since the iGPU still needs some memory allocated/shared to it so it can function in the first place). Unfortunately, I did not have that setting in my BIOS so I ended up buying a 16GB RAM stick off Amazon from a different manufacturer (Team Group for the curious out there). To no surprise, the system reports only 13.9GB of memory being available! (This is plenty sufficient for my use case, though.)What’s more important after installing any new RAM in your system is to boot MemTest86 off of USB or CD and test your newly-installed memory for any errors. As of this writing, the current version of MemTest86 (from Passmark Software) runs 4 “passes” of tests on the RAM. If you can get through all passes with no errors, then it is safe to say that your RAM is stable. If not, then return/replace it right away with Amazon’s hassle-free return process. Even if you passed the return window, most manufacturers offer a “lifetime warranty” on their RAM so you’ll have to deal with them instead (and your mileage may vary in that regard). Oh yeah, there's a similar test program called MemTest86+ which is a fork of the one from Passmark. It's also great, but I don't use it because it's not being actively updated (the latest version is a beta from 12/4/2020).My motivation for writing this review is to clear up some confusion and dispel any worries because that other review may mislead others into thinking they’ve been “scammed” when that might not necessarily be the case. I’m not saying the other person didn’t get scammed, but it seems highly unlikely given the fact that A-Tech is a reputable company, Amazon is handling/fulfilling the order, and the white label on the package (as shown on the first image) acts as a tamper-proof seal so you’ll know right away if the package has been opened already.tl;dr If you have an AMD APU in your laptop, you won't get the full advertised 8GB available for your system because some of it is being shared/allocated to the APU. (If your BIOS has that particular setting available, then you can adjust that allocation amount). Also, run MemTest86 immediately to check your RAM for errors!

It was easy to install and laptop Nitro 5 recognized the memory module with no issues.

As advertised, fitted my 6 year old laptop

RAM cards work great! No problems!

it fixed the problem for my 13 Dell latitude 7400

I bought two of these to expand the memory of a tiny computer from 8 GB to 16 GB. I wasn’t certain when I ordered these that they would fit, but they went in and worked great.

The A-Tech RAM is a fair priced match set of SODIMM (8gig each) that serves its purpose of memory utility. Many systems that can take SODIMM 'sticks' may be able to handle faster specs and it would be wise to seek those make/models out. However, in my case, I am using it in a NAS system and it does exactly what it needs to do which makes it excellent utility RAM. If I had other items that asked for similar spec SODIMM, I would again look at the A-Tech offering and some of their others.

This is an upgrade for a 2017 Dell Inspiron 17" 5000 Series. After a Windows 10 update, I can't tell which one, noticed my laptop started to consume tons of RAM without any logical reason. So bad that after 2 hours of working I had no RAM at all. It just happened. No virus or malware present. So, I had 2 ways to find out what was wrong, format C: and reinstall Windows 10 or add more RAM. Second option was my best guess.Installed 2 SIMS of 8 Gb each, System BIOS detected new installed RAM as soon as I rebooted my machine and listed on the BIOS setup 16 GB of RAM installed, no problem at all, no drama on Windows 10. Everything worked as expected and now Windows 10 just consumes about 20% of RAM and stays there without a considerable fluctuating rate that makes my laptop to run out of RAM.So, far this RAM works really good, although I just have running my laptop for about 2 days, I have not noticed any kind of problem or incompatibility issues with the system BIOS or Windows 10.Performance-wise, I have noticed a little increase in response time with different apps, probably because this machine has a Toshiba SSD that makes it really fast when loading any program. Now, what I really noticed was a decrease on the i5 processor usage causing my laptop to run much cooler than with the previous RAM .For 80 something bucks you can't go wrong, taking into consideration that buying the same amount of RAM with the exact the same specs direct from the laptop's manufacturer it almost triples the cost of this set of 2 SIMS, so it really worth the price you pay for.
