i need to upgrade the crapola out of my notebook memory. mr. sky92x recommended crucial technologies because they can scan my computer and tell me what I need. it says i need "200-pin SODIMM DDR PC3200" and I only have 2 slots, both have 256mb chips.

can I just buy something that meets this from outpost or amazon? crucial is kind of spendy if i want to hit the 2g mark.

amazon has a matched set of corsair 1g sticks optimized for gaming and graphics for about $200. i have 128mb shared graphics on this rig, will a upgrade to 2gig be a huge improvement?

my application is very much memory intensive, somewhat graphics intensive, and not so much processor.

 

lol shared video memory

I would go with the Amazon deal. There is a satisfaction guarantee from Amazon right ?

 

What'd you end up with?

 

nothing yet. still shopping around online.

 

Have you verified that your laptop will support up to 2gb of memory?

 

i have.

 

Do you want a stick of 256mb PC3200 (I think that's what mine used) for like $10 shipped?

 

that won't really help - you know, replacing a 256mb stick with a .. uh, 256mb stick

 

:rotfl:

thanks for the offer kevin, but i'll have to pass.

 

Haha, I didn't read that far. :rotfl: Whoops.
