all right well this is going to be one of my most boring unboxings to date so
0:03
if you don't like boring unboxings tune out now I am going to be unboxing the
0:08
Kingston value RAM 1X 2 gig memory
0:12
module so this is a value oriented memory module and the reason that I
0:16
would bring this up is that Kingston is as you may or may not know one of the
0:20
largest suppliers of memory in the world in fact if memory serves they are the
0:24
largest and their value RAM is among the most reliable RAM out there I also just
0:29
like okay okay no I'll give you the real reason I was in the warehouse I was
0:33
walking around I saw this I thought it was pretty cool because I've never seen a half height dim before there I I said
0:37
it so this value module actually seems
0:41
to have a cost-saving measure in place where they are using a smaller PCB than
0:47
even a normal stick of RAM but they are
0:50
mounting the same oh I dropped it uhoh
0:53
that's really bad I hope this still works okay why don't we do the accessories first and then we'll get to
0:57
the r this is like my worst unboxing ever it's a disaster okay so here's a
1:02
warranty and installation guide it's in about six different languages as far as
1:06
I can tell from the back they show you do not drop it on the floor when you're
1:11
trying to take it out of the box and mostly install it directly into the RAM
1:15
slot on your computer press firmly on both sides etc etc so that's cleverly
1:20
packed right in there and then the RAM stick itself so you can see you've got
1:25
your standard eight memory chips on
1:29
either side of of this module so they're on both sides because this is a 2 gig
1:32
dim and using the high density uh RAM chips that would be required to do a
1:37
single-sided dim uh would be not economical for a value RAM skew you've
1:42
got your little sticker there don't remove it unless you want your warranty to be void and I guess that's about all
1:48
there really was to say about it thank you for checking out my unboxing of the
1:51
Kingston value RAM 2 gig uh ddr2 800
