Will this RAM work in a T42? The specs look compatible (to this non-expert), but the price seems suspiciously low. What am I missing?

Here it is on the Micron website:

One problem that I see with the ram that you have posted is the fact that it has 200 pins and not 184 (Like Crucial's). I'm not sure if the T42 can handle both (some feedback would be nice). After talking with a customer service rep. I found that:

is the EXACT same thing as:

I'm going to ask IBM if 200 pin RAM would work. I'll report back when I find out more.

kamikrazy, the 200 pin is the correct RAM for the T42.

... and, crucial's prices have dropped again. :)
