Thus spake Stroller:Unfortunately the cost of memory for these little Vaios is quite

It does of course depend on which Vaio you've got, but I've just upgraded my R600 from 128MB to 384MB. Bought the memory for 75 quid from www.crucial.com/uk
128MB was 35 quid for either this laptop or my old one (Z600)
Just thought there might be a chance it'd be cheaper than wherever you tried.
Unfortunately mine's one of the C1 series - the very small 9.5" x 6" inch ones with a 1140 x 480 widescreen (and the little built-in camera). I gather that its memory upgrades may be an unusual form-factor.
I've found Cruicial's website very helpful in the past, since I've largely managed to avoid building hardware in the last couple of years, and know little about anything more modern that PC100 DIMMS. The Cruicial website makes it easy to order memory for my Mac, but searching for the Vaio just give me a link to "email us your system details".
Thank you for your enquiry. If you have a requirement for RDRAM, RIMMs or a module with 2 notches near the centre, you will need RAMBUS memory. Unfortunately we don't currently manufacture this, please contact your system or motherboard manufacturer directly for advice on the availability of memory for your system.
To check on pricing or to place an order please follow the Crucial Product Search link on the top right of our web site home page (http://www.crucial.com/uk) or call us on 0800 013 0330. All prices listed are only valid for one working day.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact us (for a faster response please reply directly to this email).

It is just me, or is this COMPLETELY unhelpful, considering I've given them make & model of my laptop, and the Sony part-number..?
