Sweet, sweet RAM

I’m now sporting 1 gigabyte of memory in my Thinkpad. It was a lot cheaper than I expected; the last time I was shopping for laptop RAM it was mostly proprietary, super-expensive stuff. The gig I just bought only cost $220 before tax.

It’s been almost three years since I bought the gig that’s in my ThinkPad, but I think it only cost me about $160 back then. No tax, no shipping. RAM is cheap when you don’t buy it with your laptop. You just have to love those third parties that sell compatible memory.

Sweet, Adam. What else can I say?

I did the same thing when I bought my Dell. 1Gig is MUCH cheaper when you buy it from a third party.

One thing I have learned is that 1Gig on a Compaq (shared memory) is WAY different than it is on a Dell (NOT shared memory).
