The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    It is probably fine. You could run a memory test when you got it to make sure it was good. If it is not good you have 15 days to send it back.

    I've never had any trouble with any product from Newegg.com...

    Open box usually just means that someone changed their mind. I have purchased lots of open box computer parts/accessories, and typically there is nothing wrong with them - you just get a good deal!

    I'm thinking maybe I should pick up a couple of meg at that price! :)

    Get the Transcend for a couple of bucks more. Plenty of good reviews. I use it.
