Scott Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory is on sale for a low $16.99 with free shipping at Newegg.com. This is a great upgrade deal for those who have a computer that is a few months old. Especially if you are running vista. http://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggImage/ProductImageCompressAll200/20-148-086-05.jpg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148086 I just grabbed one for a friends Dell E1705. Should be a welcomed upgrade for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygirl Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 says it works w/toshiba satellites - might have to try this one. THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeddiva Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 How can I find if this will work for me? I went to crucial.com and did a scan but it said it couldn't make a complete match & my model isn't in the drop-down. I have the Compaq CQ50-139WM from WalMart.

onecutemoocow Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 ok so how does this work? I was told to get an external hard drive but is this just as good? I want to download music and my pics to my laptop but not use the memory it came with.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelgtp Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 ok so how does this work? I was told to get an external hard drive but is this just as good? I want to download music and my pics to my laptop but not use the memory it came with.... To answer this question, this memory from Newegg is not for file storage. If you are going to save music and/or picture files, that would be stored on a hard drive. An external hard drive would be ok, but if you have over 60gig hard drive on your laptop, you should be able to put music and pics on your computer without a problem. External hard drives are so cheap nowadays that you can go and get one of those to if you want. A nice 8 or 16gig usb flash drive would work for you too. Those are small, portable and do not need any power cords, they plug right into your usb port.A flash drive is also nice because you can view your pics and listen to your music on another pc with ease. I hope this answer is helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leahcim Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 This memory has nothing to do with "storage". That involves internal/external/flash drives. If I were you, I would just get an 8 or 16 GB memory stick to store TONS of photos/music on and they could be swapped back and forth very easily from laptop to home PC. This is how my mom does it.

I hope this answer is helpfulYes that does help but a flash drive, I consider myself to be quite knowledgable about computers but have never used a flash drive. How do you save your work to a flash drive? Sounds like this would be great for what i need to do. My pc is like 8 years old and Im afraid of losing all of my kids pics (100's) so I need to transfer them to something to store them on. I thought I would use a disc or cd but this sounds like it would be much better!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelgtp Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 You would put files onto a flash drive just like you would your computer's internal hard drive which is usually labeled C:. When you plug the flash drive in it will show up on your pc and another letter, maybe D, E or F. You just drage and drop or copy and past your files to the corresponding letter. its very easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
