Desparately need some laptop RAM!

I've just bought a Toshiba Equium A110 with 512MB PC2-4200 DDR SDRAM, which is enough (just about) for Windows XP but I've just installed Windows Vista and need alot more (another GB should do it).
1GB of PC2-4200 DDR-SDRAM (this is the RAM Crucial Memory's site (https://www.crucial.com) says my laptop takes)).
It's about £60 on eBay UK shipping from Hong Kong, does anyone know where I could get some cheaper? I don't mind if it's second-hand (the laptop is! - got it for £390 from a GumTree seller yesterday) as long as it's in perfect condition of course.
Thanks very much
, I can just about type at the moment (the keys appear slightly after I press them, so yes Vista is as power-hungry as everyone says it is!)

Just a couple of quick thoughts
why not post a wanted AD on freecycle
and
switch off all the fancy graphics stuff on Vista until you have enough memoryLooking to raise some money

Hi,
Good idea, I've just switched to the basic theme and it runs alot faster
Not as pretty though hehe
I'm a member of freecycle too so I'll do that too
I've asked on HotUKDeals aswell, and I'm about to ask on Haggle4Me (well, post a listing that is).
EDIT: Posted to FreeCycle Waltham Abbey (I live outside London and don't have a local one, but it's nearby), hopefully I'll get really lucky!0
