I just bought a 512mb PC2700 333mHz SODIMM for $46 US. Did I get ripped off?

Hmm... I bought a 256MB DDR SODIMM of the same spec for $34 a few months ago, and a 512MB SODIMM was in the $70 range, IIRC. Those prices were through Crucial (but using the memory selector on a Dell Inspiron 1100). So, I'd say you got a great deal.

No, because apparently you didn't buy it from Lenovo or Crucial.

So where did you get it from?

Brand new at Ebay. No errors! yay!

The same price can be found at newegg.com. Faster service than Ebay, no-question return, and lifetime warranty.

Anyone know what the maximum addressable memory an X30, X31, and X32 has? When I bought my X30, I thought I read it was 2 GB (2 slots of 1 GB), but I know the X40 has a 1.25 GB limit (1 slot of 1GB).

I'm looking at buying either a X32 or X4*. Sort of siding on the X32 and it will be the icing on the cake if it can handle >= 2GB.

Well, the reason the X40 only supports 1.25GB is that there's 256MB on board, and a slot that can take up to 1GB.

The X31/32 has two slots, and should be able to take 2GB.

I don't know whether the chipset in the X30 can handle 2GB, though - it's an older chipset.

*sigh* I live in Canada, so that option isn't open to me.

It can go up to to 1.5 GB, if you bought the 512mb version.
