Advantages: Very fast, stable and easy to install
Disadvantages: not many, its SRAM, so you cant go wrong

With 1MB L2 cache, this was very fast indeed, and would be much better than my existing 512KB of SRAM. With a one year guarantee included, you cant really go working , not that it did at all, with very good customer support for all their products, Compaq have won the support of me. When I tried this out, with windows xp home edition, on an already fast computer, it made the processor run things much faster, I could tell the difference straight away. Installing this was very easy, well, as easy as any other SRAM would be to install.
