Cheap Memory

BrotherBear

I'm looking to upgrade my laptop, but the memory modules I need seem expensive.

I need 2x 2GB DDR2 800MHz (PC2-6400) 200-PIN SODIMM for the upgrade.

Cheapest I have found is this.

amazon.co.uk/200-pin-SODIMM-PC2-6400-Memory-Module/dp/B001342KM8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1291225647&sr=8-1-catcorr


If anyone could find anything cheaper, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

mymemory.co.uk/Laptop-RAM/Crucial/Crucial-2GB-PC2-6400-200-pin-SODIMM-DDR2-Unbuffered-Laptop-Memory

£40 here.

orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=35946&ft=S&st=1

£31 at Amazon.

Thank for answering so fast, anyhow.

P.S, when do I get to post links?

have to rack up a few posts before you can link

try cex online, used but with 1 yr guarantee, and free delivery - I've used them often. Probably a tenner each for what you want

Beware cheap unbranded memory. It tends to be recovered chips from QA failed DIMMS and tends to have compatiblity issues. If you want guaranteed to work lifetime guarantee with no quibble refund, buy from Crucial.

Thanks for the link Gunjack, but it's £25 not £10.

Also, Hammyman does have a point. Can anyone vouch for this website?

P.S, the link to the £25 memory.

most of the ones I've had from cex are hynix/similar, never unbranded so far......

BrotherBear

Still looking at £50. Anything cheaper out there?

GunJack

No, I just want to go from 2gb ram to 4gb ram on my laptop. I need faster speeds for my college work.

Edit: I suppose I could always get a single 2gb module on amazon, because there is a used one for £19. But I know from experience that ram modules work best in pairs.

Oops !!! soz, that'll teach me to go for an eye test...

On a more serious note, will you actually see much of a difference with 4GB over 2 ?? What spec is the lappy now (hardware/OS) ??? May just need a good clearout...why not post a HiJack this log, see what carp's running on it slowing it down ??
