There are cheaper second handed ones on kijiji (if available on your region) and they work pretty good. The only reason they are cheap is because they simply lie in their houses as junk

How many? What's your budget?

I've got a handful I salvaged to use in the T61s I've been refurb'ing, and might be willing to part with a pair...

I have a 2GB module that originally game from my T400 when I bought it from Lenovo years ago. I think it's a higher specc'd RAM chip (PC3-8500), but if it works, I'll gladly part with it.

Each generation of DDR has a different slot. If mismatched it wont insert at all
