8GB Crucial PC3-12800 1600MHz 1.35V CL11 DDR3 Dual Memory Kit (2 x 4GB)

As described

What i needed

In short, this 16GB memory kit works very well in a Dell Inspiron 3250 i3 desktop computer. With the memory used in combination with a Crucial SSD drive, that cheap Inspiron 3250 is twice as fast at some operations and more than 300 times faster at other operations. I bought a Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit for an inexpensive Dell Inspiron 3250 i3 Windows 10 Pro desktop computer that I had on order through Dell's Outlet. I also bought a pair of Crucial MX300 525GB SSD (and a pair of Western Digital Blue 1TB drives) for the Inspiron 3250 (these two Crucial upgrades cost more than the price of the Outlet computer). Prior to swapping the single 4GB memory card and the stock 1TB Western Digital Blue hard drive for the two 8GB Crucial memory cards and a Crucial SSD, I used the Windows built-in benchmarking tool (this tool is built into Windows 7 and Windows 10 - Windows System Assessment Tool) to help determine the performance change due to the Crucial replacement parts. I repeated the test with both Windows 7 Pro and Windows 10 Pro. In short, the Crucial memory alone more than doubled both the computer's memory performance (2.13 times faster) and the integrated video memory throughput due to the computer now being able to use dual channel memory access with slightly higher clocked memory in both Windows 10 Pro and Windows 7 Pro. The Crucial SSD drive was 3.65 times faster at sequential read access than the WD Blue hard drive, and 340.68 times faster at random read than the WD Blue hard drive in Windows 10 Pro (only 316.53 times faster in Windows 7 Pro). So, the Crucial upgrades, even though they more than doubled the value of the Dell Inspiron 3250 i3 computer, significantly increased the potential performance of the computer. Summary details of the testing: From an administrator Windows command line I executed a command similar to the following to run the Windows System Assessment Tool's benchmark for each test: winsat formal -restart -v -xml c:\winstatresultsWindows10-4GB.xml Original single Hynix 4GB 12800U-11-13-A1 memory card and WD Blue hard drive (Win 10 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 1999.76MB Memory Performance 10658.95 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 2993.58 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 135.49 MB/s 7.0 Disk Random 16.0 Read 2.05 MB/s 4.2 (this appears to be a fluke, see below) Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and WD Blue hard drive (Win 10 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 8143.76MB Memory Performance 22783.16 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 6355.53 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 136.20 MB/s 7.0 Disk Random 16.0 Read 1.28 MB/s 3.6 Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and Crucial SSD (cloned HD to SSD, Win 10 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 8143.76MB Memory Performance 22635.85 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 6392.51 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 497.43 MB/s 8.1 Disk Random 16.0 Read 436.07 MB/s 8.2 Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and new WD Blue 1TB hard drive (cloned SSD to new WD HD, Win 10 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 8143.76MB Memory Performance 21998.35 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 5329.78 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 142.87 MB/s 7.1 Disk Random 16.0 Read 1.45 MB/s 3.9 --- Original single Hynix 4GB 12800U-11-13-A1 memory card and new WD Blue hard drive (Win 7 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 1632MB Memory Performance 11141.00 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 4613.53 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 139.70 MB/s 7.1 Disk Random 16.0 Read 1.52 MB/s 4.0 Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and new WD Blue 1TB hard drive (fresh install of Win 7 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 1632MB Memory Performance 23564.36 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 9988.00 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 139.15 MB/s 7.1 Disk Random 16.0 Read 1.47 MB/s 3.9 Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) memory kit and Crucial SSD (cloned HD to SSD, Win 7 Pro): System memory shared as video memory: 1632MB Memory Performance 23140.27 MB/s Video Memory Throughput 9807.77 MB/s Disk Sequential 64.0 Read 501.99 MB/s 7.9 Disk Random 16.0 Read 465.30 MB/s 7.9

After buying the wrong hardware, this arrived promptly and was really easy to install, fixing my issue with my PC. My computer now runs much more smoothly. Very happy with the purchase :)
