Re: [CGUYS] Replacing laptop memory
Tom buys the cheap-o RAM because he likes the cheery shade of blue that it makes his screens give off.

Re: [CGUYS] Replacing laptop memory (resent)
So where would you recommend buying memory, instead of getting it from Crucial? Crucial shows a 2GB kit (two 1GB cards) of DDR PC2-4200 memory at $89.99 I usually hunt around a litle. I see newegg offering 1GB cards of DDR PC2-4200 memory for $30 each ($38 - $8 rebate). * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Replacing laptop memory
I like www.memoryx.net they seem to have a good balance between price and quality. If I purchase the very cheapest memory, I find that it often fails to work properly. Thus wasting my TIME and the time of my customers, and I end up looking like I do not know my profession. If you are a reseller, or purchase RAM frequently, MemoryX will grant you a very nice discount. I am not sure what exactly you must do to prove your status, but I guess in my case, they just looked at my past buying trends and allowed me to be in that reseller category.

Re: [CGUYS] Replacing laptop memory
Can these really be functionally and operationally equivalent? Yep.

That's worth whatever typical nominal extra cost there is to me.

Re: [CGUYS] Replacing laptop memory
That's worth whatever typical nominal extra cost there is to me. Jeff can't afford a Mac because he wasted his budget paying too much for RAM. Here's a nice disclaimer from Tom's vendor: FREE USPS SHIPPING: applies only to orders which are placed online. There is no minimum order amount for the free USPS shipping. Average delivery is 3-7 business days but this is only an average and some locations may take longer. **If your order gets lost, there is no insurance and DMS takes no responsibility for packages which are lost by the United States Postal Service.** Even funnier Tom, is that RAM for one of my home mobos is as follows: ASUS K8V: 1 GB ECC, PC3200, 1 stick: MemoryX: $89 DMS: $93 (Tom's vendor) Crucial: $80 Here's another that I just bought last week: Dell GX520, 1 GB Non-ECC, PC-4200 MemoryX: Didn't carry RAM for the very popular GX series, which is odd. DMS: $49.50 Crucial: $42 (I get a small discount off of that price) I guess I'll have to take back what I said about Tom's cheap-o RAM; it costs more. I've used Crucial for years, even in the servers I've built, in use every day for years. Zero problems. Crucial ships by a trackable shipper, usually UPS or FedEx. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Replacing laptop memory
I have an older model that I upgraded. If you have any experience installing RAM in a computer, this is easy (esp. dissipate static first so you don't fry it or the computer and also to know when it's in its slot all the way - push HARD). On the PowerBook G4 models, shut it down, lift the keyboard, install DIMM(s), put keyboard back, start it up, check the memory and you are done.
