Corsair VS1GSDS667D2 1GB DDR2-667 PC2-5300



Both are PC2 5300 1GB sticks. I can't find anything else about the Lenovo

They will fit and work perfectly.

That's so insanely cheap! I had predicted that a sudden drop in memory prices would happen after everyone had finished upgrading to Vista, but thought that would take at least half a year. Instead, memory prices started plummeting only a few weeks after the launch of Vista.

1GB PC2-5300 SODIMMs were at least $80 on Newegg just 3 months ago. I envy those who are upgrading now. I paid $70 for each of my T60's 1GB sticks (Kingston and Samsung) back in January and Feb, and that's a great price back then.

Now if only the 2GB SO-DIMMs would drop in price too...

They started dropping already. Newegg has the PC2-5300 G.SKILL stick for $195 shipped.

As I understand it there is a worldwide glut of memory in the last two months. Hence the price drops. Isn't there a glut of oil too?

Fat chance...
