WTB T40 memory - Kingston memory reviews?

#1 Post by dwallace » Mon Jul 18, 2005 12:08 pm

Ladies and gents,
In the Sunday circulars, I noticed that Circuit City (at least here in Boston) is selling 512mb Kingston memory at $60 (after $25 rebate).

Options include 2100/2700/3200.

Anyone have stories on how it compares to Crucial, PNY or any other makers?

Of course, I'd be willing to consider swaps/trades/strange offers for the existing 256k out of my Thinkpad. I can offer various leftover parts and pieces including:
-four port desktop card for USB 2.0
-Orinoco 802.11 antennas
-Logitech Bluetooth phone headset and charger

Thanks
David

The RAM that Circuit City is selling is the ValueRAM line. According to verktyg in his posts here, it is a mixed bag:

It is only a few dollars more at Crucial (~$69) and you don't have to deal with the rebate.

By the way, which Thinkpad do you have? I thought all the T4x series have two memory slots available, one slot on the bottom of the machine and one slot under the keyboard.

Thanks for the tip. I'd read that thread (I laughed, I cried, it was better than 'Cats'). And I should have guessed that the value stuff was being sold at retail . . . .
