Is PNY quality

[Greg12]

PNY is always on sale at Compusa and I wanna know if it's quality.

If I dont get a ticket from running that red light (ACCIDENTLY) then I wanna get 2 256 meg sticks for my laptop.


XP outa run really good with 512.

Unfortuantly 512 is the max I can havew and I dont think I can disable virtual memory.

I dont know about their memory but their CDRs are shit.

From what I've heard their memory is OK, but you can probably get a much better deal by checking pricewatch.com and picking a vendor that has good reviews on resellerratings.com. I think the last time I bothered to check one of CompUSA's sale prices on memory they were still much higher than online prices.

No matter how much memory you have you should not disable paging in Windows. It tends to behave strangely if you do. When I tried it with NT4 I got constant "out of memory" errors on trivial operations when there was plenty of free memory - and half the time if I just tried it again it would work. Proper management of your pagefile will minimize the performance hit.

PNY CD-Rs are, like almost all the other brands, made by somebody else. The recent spools are made by CMC (just like the cheap Imation and Phillips spools), and CMC is known for poor quality.

The quality is fine......... You could probably get better quality stuff but it should work alright.

I'd check crucial.com for memory too... I got some really cheap a while back. Why are PNY CD-R's so crappy? I never had one coaster (used around 75 so far), and I got a 100 at 5 c each. Thought it was a pretty good deal. Do you mean that they're not durable or that they don't burn well?

Even the cheapest CD-R's usually burn OK, it's the durability problem (as in is your data readable 1 year later, etc.).
