RAM for my T42

#1 Post by Rainer » Tue Oct 25, 2005 3:25 pm

Hello everyone!

This is my first post here, but I've been reading lots of threads on this site and they convinced me to get a T42 a few months ago. Now it's time to add another GigaByte of RAM. I want to go with Crucial and found it for $ 203.93 ($ 183.54 after discount) on crucial.com, and for $ 105.00 ($ 108.83 including shipping) on newegg.com. That's a huge difference! Can that be the same RAM? I'd love to pay the lower price, but I want to make sure that I get the quality.

Thanks a lot,

Rainer

NewEgg RAM is typically OEM, hence the lower price. Also no guarantee it is the right one (unlike when you order from crucial.com). Your on your own to figure it out.
