Hi, I am looking for laptop RAM and I thought I'd ask if anyone in Christchurch has some to sell. I have tried TradeMe and there are slim pickings there right now, and new modules of the correct spec. are hard to find or expensive here in NZ.
Specifically I am looking for two pieces of 256Mb PC100 144-pin SODIMM, with ideally 16 chips on the module. I'd also like to be able to try the RAM first in an IBM ThinkPad 600E. There are two SODIMM slots, and I have upgraded the BIOS, but there are conflicting reports that the BIOS upgrade will allow 256Mb modules to work in this machine. The maximum is supposed to be 2 x 128Mb. I'd also be interested in one, two or three 128Mb PC100 144-pin SODIMMS. PC66 RAM will work, but PC133 most likely won't. The laptop runs Linux, natch, and if I am able to get some 256Mb modules I will report back to the list in case anyone else has a ThinkPad 600E. Thanks in advance, please reply off-list. Andy
