$99 (shipped) for 1GB Notebook memory. This should work fine in a T42/T42p.

1GB 200-Pin DDR SO-DIMM DDR 333 (PC 2700) CAS 2.5

Price for that kingmax module has been dropping like there's no tomorrow since early this year. Under $100 shipped is a good price for 1GB laptop memory.

Yes and it's good memory. I've got 2 sticks of it and at this price could've saved $33 total by waiting...

There are lots of posts from people using it with no problems in their thinkpads...buy it while it's cheap!

Is ther a difference between Kingmax and Crucial RAM?

The 2x1 gig kingmax sticks in my laptop replaced 2x512 Crucial sticks. I've noticed no difference in stability and had zero problems. Crucial ram is typically very good.

www.newegg.com has had this Kingmax 1 gig stick on their specials page for about a month now (on for a few days off for a few days) and it hasn't gone out of stock. Ram prices are fickle. You might wait a few days and find the price back at $110 or $120 pretty quickly. Or it could be $85 on Tuesday...no real way to know. Either way, if you buy it around this price it is historically quite low.

One thing to consider is that there is a ram "shift" going on - many new laptops are shipping with DDR2-533 sodimms. As more manufacturers move capacity to the DDR2-533 pieces you will see prices start to climb for these DDR pieces (check the prices on PC133 ram). Lots of DDR 200 pin sodimm laptops out there still, so it might be a little early to be worried about when the production curve will start to dramatically fall off, but it will happen and price will spike back up pretty quickly. If you need or want it, I'd say get it...
