Good idea, I received an email from them today with the ram showing as in stock.

I noticed it because at the bottom of the email it says

and bizarrely, exactly the same part number is £23.45 if you search for it for a different laptop!

I have a question about latency...
7dayshop.com says

Total Size: 1GB
Type: DDR2 SDRAM
Form Factor: DIMM 200-pin
Memory Speed: 667Mhz (PC2-5300)
CAS Latency:555-12
Unbuffered
Non ECC
1.8v (+/- 0.1v)

£10.50 x 2 = £21

and crucial says

Module Size: 2GB kit (1GBx2)
Package: 200-pin SODIMM
Feature: DDR2 PC2-5300
Specs: DDR2 PC2-5300 •
CL=5
Unbuffered
NON-ECC
DDR2-667
1.8V
128Meg x 64CL — CAS (column address strobe) latency, which is the number of clock cycles it takes before data starts to flow after a command is received. Lower CL is faster. Modules with different CL can be mixed on a system, but the system will only run at the highest (slowest) CL.

£28

is this reall cl=5 and the 7dayshop cl=555? or is the crucial really 500?

which is better, does the difference in latency make much difference?
which one would you buy?


Thanks

Hi, I'm really worried now after what other's have said about buying only branded and making sure each unit is exactly matched

However, I went onto 7dayshop as suggested by Martin, and did a serch for DDR PC3200-the same as what Crucial suggested, right? Saw it's 1 gig at £17.99, so purhcased 2 of them: (http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_11&products_id=102237)

Have I just wasted £40?

No you have not wasted your money. The fact that you ordered two sticks mean that 7 Dayshop will send you a matched pair. the memory for older PCs has got very expensive and you can pay £40 for one gig.

Knockers please note this is not ddr2 laptop memory, but 184 pin DIMM DDR memory for an older desktop that widowsicker needs.

Just wanted to say thanks to this thread I realised I could probably upgrade my PC memory myself. Ordered a stick from Crucial, upgraded this evening and my five year old Dell machine is running like a dream. Thanks for all the advice everyone. :T
