Description: The SMART 16MB HP Laserjet 8550 1200 2200 9000 is a 1 module, desktop memory kit.Compared to other desktop memory kits on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $35.This module upgrades older computers, helping squeeze more performance out of a legacy system.

Pros: None noted, given available product data.
