Can Any body tell me a place to buy cheap laptop memory .Specifically for an IBM Thinkpad A20m .it can max at 512 ..( I know this won't do much )..I am loooking at buying maybe 1 or 2 -256 sticks ..It currently has a 64 stick in .
If this works out to expensive then i'll shelve the idea .The only good price and can see is always on American sites .
Any ideas ....?
Thanks
*edit* Here is a link to a site ..it gives a full description of the memory type http://www.laptopshop.co.uk/IBM/Lenovo-memory_303393-memory-2-ram5.htm

    eBay - search for 256Mb PC100 laptop memory.

    320Mb (64 + 256) should be more than enough. G

    P.S. Confirm compatibility before purchasing

    Take a look on ebay

    You should go to the Lenovo website for the part nos.

    Either way, you need SDRAM PC100 laptop memory

    32MB IBM PC100 144-pin SDRAM SODIMM (p/n 20L0253)


    64MB IBM 144pin PC100 SODIMM (p/n 20L0254)


    128MB IBM Thinkpad PC100 SODIMM (p/n 20L0255)


    256MB IBM Thinkpad PC100 SDRAM SODIMM (p/n 33L3069)

    As an example 256MB is priced at around £30 here; http://www.aememory.co.uk/SDRAM-Sodimm-memory.html

    You might find other cheaper high density memory, but ask for assurances on compatibility before purchase.

    Cheers for that ..Another member of the family this time .
    I just tried to install Kaspersky and it warned me insuficient memory .I'll check whether she thinks the lappy is worth another £30.00 investment .

    It won't be worth anything if she doesn't. :)

    ebay may find something cheaper. Just check compatibility.
