Kingston Memory

Hi Everyone,

Hey! How's things everybody? I'm back with another review of something that has randomly pissed me off again. Today's product lined up for execution, Kingston memory.
I'll keep this pretty short. But in the last 6 months, I had, oh.. about a 12 or 13 computers with bad memory, and the vast majority of them Kingston. And I just watched them put a lady through so much hell, trying to collect on it's "lifetime" warranty.

So Kingston memory was probably added aftermarket, but man. What are the odds of THAT much of it going bad!

Has anyone else seen this? Anyhow, I have Kingston memory in my parents computer for near two years, and it's fine. But I will never buy any of it again. I have been VERY happy with PNY memory.


As always, just my experiences. And if you are looking for a good FREE memory tester, check out the Window Memory Tester from Microsoft.
