    I bought the Kingmax ram about a month ago and it has been running fine. I used Memtest86 to test the ram and it didnt come up with any errors.

    Its a value ram but most of the reviews of the memory seem to be positive, and for $99 its a good deal.

    I have the same type of Ram in my 6130hs and it's running fine. I bought the RAM back in Febuary of this year. I always say the more memory you have in your computer the more efficient it is.

    When I bought it in Feb. I paid 182 for it so paying 99 dollars for 1 gig of ram is a pretty good deal.

    It could be added to the 4265. You can try and uprade it to 2 gig and if it doesn't freeze then it should be ok. If you do install it to 2 gig run a memory test on it for 12 hours and if it doesn't freeze then it should be good to go.

    Yep, just put a stick of that in my 3250-H1 (replacing the 512MB stick since it only has one slot). Works great!

    Did you see any increase in boot up speed or in running programs?
