I need the cheapest USB pen drive available (256mb-1GB depending on price) for this laptop

Anyone spotted anything? :P

when I put the notebook in my basket and add the coupon code it doesn't seem to be changing the spec. do I change the spec. first.

Don't put a notebook in your basket, and there is no coupon code

At the main Dell page there is a search box, paste the code you want (e.g. N04137) into that box and do a search

Click on the link that comes up for that spec

Change Dell Support Options to 90 day C&R

Change battery to 6 cell

Do any other changes you want

Then add to basket

Anyone bought this yet? http://www.lowestonweb.com/Products/DisplayInfoMain.asp?e=8E3C1371-6866-4957-8299-0FBC939C29B4

This is compatible with the Inspiron 1300 right? Anyone tried it?

you will need to take the 256 one out, I'm sure this laptop has a max of 1GB

mines fine with the additional 512MB to make a total of 760MB

The Max is 4GB.

I added 1GB to the existing 256MB, and it works fine.

No need to take anything out.

I have never seen it actually in stock for last 2 months, and it still isn't.

It will fit the Dell ok, but you will never see this in stock.

I bought 1GB of Crucial DDR2 533MHz SODIMM (200 pin) for under £60 on Ebay.

^Have you got a link to the auction you bought the RAM from?

By the way, you know the 3 screws at the back, are they the normal standard ones? Cross or straight type, not the hexagonal type screws?
