 Works flawlessly inside a HP 1000-1030NR Mini Netbook Oct 26, 2010
By Dave's two-cents on this
Upgrading the RAM for HP Minis are ridiculously simple! If you are not sure, go to You Tube and search for keywords "Upgrade ram HP Mini". There's a bunch of videos showing you how to do it in less than a minute. Although HP has a few different model numbers, the basic design of their netbooks are pretty consistent for the 1000 series. My model number is 1030nr.
Oddly, the stock RAM stick in my Mini was a 1gb PC2-6400, but all the videos and message boards that I've seen (including HP's site) had said that the PC2-5300 was the correct chip. Since this chip is stated to have decently low latency numbers, that's the reason I took a chance on it.
So how did it perform?
From a subjective viewpoint, it seems to be just a smidge faster than the stock RAM stick. But maybe it's my own biased perception of wanting it to be faster because I just spent 39 buckaroos for this thing (still waiting for that rebate... hope those guys didn't forget to send it to me). I think the lower latency of this RAM works well, especially for web browsing. Higher bandwidth is good when you need to crunch large amounts of data, which you are unlikely to do with a netbook because the processor speed is lame. Low latency is good for processing smaller chunks of info more quickly.
To be honest, I noticed a much greater improvement in speed when I erased Windows XP for Ubuntu Linux 10.04 Desktop Edition. The Linux OS is very stripped down and lean, making it super quick compared to Windows or Apple OS's. Best of all, it's free! Also, you can surf the web virtually virus free, which is perfect when using public access points like Starbucks and Airport Terminals =).
Was it worth the money?
If you are using Windows XP on the netbook, I would say that it is definitely worth it to upgrade the RAM. Being that I'm using Linux on my netbook now, I could have managed with the original 1gb stick. At this point, however, I'll keep using the Patriot 2gb stick since it doesn't hinder the performance at all, it worked perfectly from the get-go, and seems to be reliable so far without a single problem. Therefore, 5 stars!

Great price! Nov 20, 2009
By Sinochu
I purchased this to upgrade my Dell Mini 9's RAM from the 512 MB minimum dell offers.
Youtube and other intensive websites have worked great and I noticed faster performance.
At the time I purchased this, it was $30.98.

 not to be worked with IBM and LENOVO upgrade. Jun 30, 2009
By Jiulong Zhao
"dragonBTV"
I ordered one for my IBM Z61t, and I am sure my laptop need the 667M 5300 version. But the sad truth is that it did NOT work with either my IBM Z61t or my LENOVO F40A.
while using alone on either slot 0 or slot 1,both the laptops refuse to boot up;
while using together with another 512M on the other slot, it scrash the display in windows.
I am to return it as soon as I finish this review.

Macbook Pro 2008 Mar 05, 2012
By Amazon Fan
Bought 2 sticks (4GB total). This memory works without issue in Macbook Pro Early-2008 and improves performance when running multiple applications significantly.

 Popped in old iBook for a friend, worked well. May 11, 2010
By J. J. Marino
"Geekasaurus Rex"
I was mistaken and ordered 2 of these for a friend that wanted to boost his RAM. I didn't think ahead and thought he could handle 4GB. Apparently not, you can have a max of 2GB in an older Intel iBook (white). After I figured that out the ram (1 stick) worked very well. Boot times were significantly reduced and it breathed new life into the old iBook. Amazon did a fantastic job with the RMA.
Overall this is a good solid ram upgrade for your computer. Check with websites before you buy it though.
Thanks for reading my review.
