It's a great deal. I paid about twice as much for the exact same ram after rebate in November and I still haven't gotten my $50 rebate yet. The ram works great though and fits even with the heat spreaders on.

i just paid about $75 for two 2gig parts for my X60tablet and X60s..
delivered..

that makes 3GB in each.. T60p, X60T and X60s..

the macbook pro did not like the 2GB parts so it remains at 2GB total..
