Crucial RAM 8GB DDR4 2666 MHz CL19 Desktop Memory CT8G4DFRA266

The Crucial RAM 8GB DDR4 2666 MHz CL19 Desktop Memory CT8G4DFRA266 was purchased to be compatible with the 8 GB RAM already installed on my Dell 3670 PC. It was installed successfully and found to be fully compatible.This upgrade could have gone more smoothly if the new card was fully engaged during its initial installation. The first installation resulted in the PC’s power button light flashing 2 then 7 orange lights repeatedly. Dell 3670 User’s Manual signifies this as a “RAM FAILURE”. Upon a closer examination of the installation, it was noticed that one of the hold-down clamps securing the new card (in slot #2) was not quite fully closed. To address this, the card was removed and then re-installed to ensure complete closer of both clamps. That resolved the issue. View photos to see how just a little lack of clamp closer can result in an unacceptable installation.

Make sure when you buy any type of flash memory off the internet that your purchase a reputable name brand product. There are so many dupes and fakes out there you must be sure that you read the reviews and never buy memory that has a 'too good to be true' price. Crucial is a great brand, and the ram is working wonderfully.

It worked perfectly as a plug and play! Installed and turned computer on, it recognized the extra memory immediately and computer is noticeably faster. Highly recommend this as an upgrade

Crucial brand RAM has been around a long time. Some of the best prices and most reliable RAM you can get. Its not fancy, but it works. Its been my go to RAM for I want to say 30 years now. I have never had any issues with their RAM. As all the rest of the Crucial RAM in my past, this one fit into my computer easily and works perfectly. Just make sure you get the correct type and speed of RAM for your computer's motherboard.

Bought to upgrade my HP gaming Pavillion desktop tg01 0028 from 8 gig to 16 gig. The memory card itself is slightly different then the factory 8 gb ram card and it doesn't have the greatest click which was off putting for me as someone who is just getting into computers, as I didn't want to break anything but as long as you have the card lined up just put even pressure until the tabs lock and you are good to go, the results are nice much smoother game play, along with staying around 50% of use on large games and even better no issues with the using this with the factory 8 bit card

PERFECT!!! If you have an HP Pavillion TP01-xxx desktop compuiter; let it be known that this Crucial DR4-2666 MH CL19 DESKTOP MEMORY CT8G4DFRA266 can be installed fairly quickly without having to take anything apart inside. It is a simple matter of putting an anti-static wristband on either wrist; connect the alligator clip to a metal part somewhere within reach of what you are doing. Remove the side cover and if this is not your first time doing this, you should have the computer back together with all your peripherals; mouse; keyboard any USB connectors; HDMI or other video connector to your monitor and be up and running in under 15 minutes. VERY simple.EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE: Installation notes:a. DON'T FORGET THE ANTI-STATIC WRIST STRAP. Also,b. to be safe and not zap your new or old memory module; your motherboard or worse everything inside the casing rendering your PC completely useless:c. even with the wrist band on, to be on the safe side discharge any residual static electricty from yourself; ensure to touch some metal on the pc casing surface before touching anything inside the computer that has a microchip; and that the alligator clip is secure.d. MAKE SURE you are not using a screwdriver or anything else that might fall inside the casing and land on the motherboard or other sensitive component that has a magnetized end. A screwdriver with a magnetized end for example, won't be useful for anything except snagging a hard to get tiny screw or something. Then, except for getting that little screw that magnetized screwdriver end in this example could degauss, or demagnetize something you don't want degaused or demagnetized. As a result, you could very well find yourself holding 600 dollars or so worth of garbage instead of the computer you set out to upgrade. You DO want to upgrade, nopt down grade or degrade altogether, right? Okay. So careful not to have any magnets too close by within your work area while doing your upgrade.Finally, an anti-static wristband if you don't already know can be purchased for under 10 dollars or not much more than 5 or 6 dollars. That small extra amount of money could be the difference between being up and running quickly or without a PC. Don't start the uprade without one. If you are new to this or just haven't done an upgrade for awhile, don't forget someone told you so. I hope you see this and I hope this was helpful to you.

Great product at a great price. The install was not as easy as I've done before. I had to push really hard to get it to click in. I looked twice to make sure I wasn't installing wrong. I finally got it in and booted up and it read, 'Memory Upgraded' and it's twice as fast. If I ever put another stick it, I'll use a glove as I got tiny slivers in my thumb from pushing in it.

It came when it was expected, and it does what a RAM does - it works.
