Hey Guys,

I have a T60 1953-D6U with a Core 2 Duo T7200 that I put in and want to bring the RAM up from 512 MB to 2 GB. I have found the following RAM for sale online at NewEgg.com:

Transcend JetRam 1GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Notebook Memory - Retail

My question is whether or not the T60 will take this stuff. I remember buying some RAM back a few years ago for my T22 that I thought would work and it didn't. The above RAM has excellent reviews.

Thanks.

I have had one of those in my T60p for quite some time without any problems.

wswartzendruber,
Thanks for the heads up on this memory. Excellent price. I just received and installed it today and it appears to work fine. I pushed the memory a bit by simultaneously loading and running 3 windows xp vmware virtual machine sessions and they all performed very well with no problems.

Core 2 Duo + 2 GB RAM = No matter what's already open, new stuff opens as fast as I can click.

The price on the newegg.com is dropping $2/$5 almost every week. Any specific reason for that?

RAM behaves like a commodity, unlike most other electronic components. Depending on the demand and supply, the prices go up and/or down. Last fall, the prices started going up, and it appears that those prices are finally starting to come back down.

Here's another example of cheap RAM available these days:

I don't like MWAVE's relatively high shipping charges. It's about $8 for this tiny RAM!

yeah, that is a bit high. i was just using it to show that another retailer is also offering RAM at around the same price.

Bought one 1 GB Transcend stick from NewEgg. Added to the default 512 MB one hour ago. Laptop seems clearly faster. No problems.
