Help with RAM upgrade

worried_jim

I want to buy some more RAM for my PC. It is an Aspire T180, it currently has 1GB as it came from the factory. I have 2 free memory slots (4 in total) and 2x 512mb at present.

Can someone recommend some memory and post links such as ebuyer etc as I am unsure between the different types such as DDR2 and DDR3.

Many thanks. Jim.

May not be the cheapest , but never had a problem.

Get yourself over to Crucial and use their memory advisor tool

http://www.crucial.com/

That'll tell you exactly what you need. Then you can buy from the cheapest available supplier.

Thanks for the crucial tool. It recommends "2GB kit (1GBx2), 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-6400 memory module" for £25.19.

If I go to Ebuyer can I get this- (£8.68 each)

And just buy two of them- will it be the right stuff?

Yes, should be fine. That is ~probably~ CL6 memory.

You might get slightly better performance by spending a bit more on CL5 rated, but I doubt you would actually notice the difference.

Marginally cheaper here.
