PNY Optima MD4096KD2-800 4GB 2×2GB Dual Channel Kit DDR2 800 MHz CL 5-5-5-15 PC2-6400 Desktop DIMM Memory Module This is not a review of the product but concerning advertising practice with respect to this type of product. I bought these for my Gateway desktop hoping to upgrade my memory from only 512K. To my regret I didn’t realize until I opened the package that DDR memory is incompatible with DDR2. There is no warning anywhere about this until you open the product. I consider that deceptive. The warning should be on the outside of the package not the inside. I made no attempt to install them as I found out too late they will not fit my computer. Had the warning been obvious I would not have opened the package and could simply have returned it for a refund. I’m learning the hard way the necessity of making absolutely sure a part is compatible when ordering through the internet.

Do not take for wrong this title… the RAM memory works fine but…. I bought it to increase to 3 GB my RAM memory (2 GB already installed). My MSI motherboard includes 4 RAM slots.. there is the problem. You have to “pair” (1×1 or 2×2) otherwise you get conflicts… mine didn’t worked my wireless WIFI card. Running Windows Vista x32 bits version did not recognize 4 GB’s so adding another one of this did not resolve the problem. Just unistalled it and everything works fine again. Just sold it to a friend for brand new computer and works fine. By the way.. no clock numbers are listed.

I purchased this memory because of the price savings. During an upgrade project, I coupled this memory with a new Foxconn motherboard and an AMD Windsor 2.4ghz cpu left over from another upgrade. After completing the build, the system would not post. Systematically reducing and swapping parts, I discovered that one of the PNY sticks was defective. I can’t remember the last time that a memory module was defective. Having used PNY for memory sticks and cards, I just assumed the computer memory would be without problems. I will stay with the other brands that are more popular with system builders.
With the above stated, although I was not happy with this product, I was extremely happy with the way Amazon’s customer support handled my return. I was really impressed with the RMA process and for that reason alone, I would recommend that you can shop on Amazon with confidence.

I replaced 2gb of Wintec DDR2 6400 RAM for PNY 4gb DDR2 6400 with faster latency, and to be honest I can`t even tell the difference in speed at all. I have upgraded my CPU to a AMD Dual Core 5200+, the power supply with more juice, the video card has it`s own 1gb memory, and of course the RAM it self, so like I said I was expecting the PNY to be much faster then the Wintec. It`s not like I hate the memory, but I will be replacing the PNY soon. Sorry PNY, mabye I will try another type of memory from PNY instead?? One other thing that my computer is doing is I`ve had the blue screen of death many, many times now, and I don`t know what it is just yet. I am a computer tech. so I know the sign`s for memory modules being bad is indeed the blue screen, but it doesn`t seem to be the memory?? The blue screen only pop`s up when the computer is in sleep mode?? Could be the one of the PNY memory module`s, could be the CPU getting hot? Could be a few thing`s. If it turn`s out to be the memory I will rewrite this review.

Like my title says, the memory doesn’t work with any other 6400 (800 MHz) memory except for Acer. Not a huge problem but very miss leading when you looking at the specs. The memory module does run somewhat hot, but so does every 6400 memory module. I been running my comp with this memory for two weeks now, no problems.
