Better to use the finder to make sure it's the right one for your lappy

Definitely Crucial, imho the only choice as you want reliable memory. Laptops get bashed

Third vote for Crucial - used them quite a few times, and the finder tool was always spot on. Good prices and quick delivery too...

Crucial again. Used them a few times and they supply quality products very quickly.

However you can often get Crucial memory cheaper from Ebuyer than direct from the manufacturers

it is definitly the right ram as i took one dimm out to see what it was

and cheers btw

just been looking around and found dabs.com to be cheaper than either e-buyer or direct by around a tenner kinda looking at a pair of 1Gb sticks

is it possible to run my laptop on a single dimm or will it only run on a pair like it comes from the factory?

Normally a single stick will work but why risk it

cos i want 2x1Gb but not sure if money will stretch

I would imagine you'll be fine with one if you want to spread the cost
