Scott Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 This is an unbelievable price on a great laptop upgrade! Buy.com has Kingston 2GB ( 2 x 1GB ) PC2 5300 667MHz 200-pin SODIMM DDR2 Laptop Memory for only $44.95 with free shipping! I'm pretty sure that I will have to grab a set of these for my wifes laptop. http://ak.buy.com/db_assets/prod_lrg_images/017/204884017.jpg http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=204884017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcster Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 That is a GREAT price! http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/guntootsmiley.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kren Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Is there a quick way to tell whether that will fit in my laptop? Someplace I can just click? I have replaced desktop memory but haven't a clue how to do it on a laptop. I have a Compaq (HP) AMD Sempron 3300 with 512 megs of RAM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the model number handy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark909 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Is this memory compatible with the Dell Vostro 1000 currently on sale for $399? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Is this memory compatible with the Dell Vostro 1000 currently on sale for $399?Yes, I believe that it should be. Excellent question though. I think that particular unit uses 533 MHz memory, so the faster 667MHz should be backwards compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kren Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 My Compaq is V5305 (it's the $399 laptop from Wal-Mart the week before Thxgiving last year...) thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kren Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 OK, the HP site is VERY hard to navigate but I think you're right and I have DDR, not DDR2. Site says: HP Notebooks require the following types of memory. * SO DIMM The physical size of the memory stick is designed to fit inside a notebook. * DDR SDRAM The memory technology * PCx-xxxx-xxx The memory speed. The speed varies by computer model. (PC2600S 333, PC2700S 644) So that means this deal is NG for me. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vipers82 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I am also curious to know if this memory is compatible with the Dell available online. I was considering purchasing that computer and would like to know if this memory would work before buying. If anyone could let me know I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipers82 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 So you don't think that Dell will build their laptops so you are forced to use their own memory? Sorry I do not know much about computers and thought that it might be the case. Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two different Dell laptops and I have upgraded the memory in both of them, and the internal wireless card in another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
