Look at http://www.thinkwiki.org for all things ThinkPad related, including
lots and lots of stuff on getting various aspects of Linux working correctly
given the peculiarities of each model.

PriceSpy suggests that a 256MB module of the appropriate type is around $73
new.  512MB is around $198, so you're looking at spending $400ish to get
1GB... not exactly cheap.

You might save some money using second hand modules, but how much you'd want
to trust them is another matter--if you go this route, make sure you run
memtest86 for a couple of hours and won't have any trouble returning faulty
modules.

Actually, the advice to run memtest86 applies for new modules too... better
to catch problems early.
