Centon 256MB PC133/100 SDRAM SODIMM Notebook Memory (256MBLT133) Review

I recently upgraded to this memory from a 128mb chip from PNY. My file transfer ability seems to have more than doubled due to the extra access memory available to my system. However, possibly due to the faster movement of information, my computer seems more likely to lock up when over-taxed by incompatible programs (ex: Kazaa and Netscape 7 don’t like one another). Note that I said more likely, incompatible programs always have a chance of crashing your unit. Thus overall, I don’t mind recommending this item for people who want to be able to do faster downloads or system manipulations (defragging takes half as much time now), but for multitasking, especially if using P2P programs or downloading programs, the chip is limited in stability.
