RedM Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'm looking for 2 x 2gb SODIMM DDR2 Synchronous 667 MHz (1.5 ns) modules to replace my 'no name' 2 x 1gb memory. Looking at the prices for Kingston, Corsair and the like I see that I can make a saving by opting for generic 'no name' kit. Is it a sensible saving or would I be better off in the long term by going for the quality stuff? Also, I've tried Amazon, Dabs, Aria, Scan and Crucial. Anywhere else I can look that might be cheaper? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRalphMan Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I have a couple of cheap 2GB sticks from 7dayshop.com They are - Dane-Elec Value Laptop Memory - SO-DIMM DDR2 800Mhz (PC2-6400) - 2GB - UK'S VERY BEST PRICE! Cost be the princely sum of £34 for the pair. They don't seem to do them now, but I haven't had any issues with my Laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I only ever use Crucial RAM if I can help it, or Corsair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I wouldn't touch unbranded stuff with yours Cheap branded kits I would recommend are Kingston, Corsair and Crucial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks guys. The general vibe and getting here and from the net is that branded is the way to go. What about the Vista 32bit 4gb thing? Would the extra ram be wasted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the Vista 32bit 4gb thing? Would the extra ram be wasted? I'll not comment on the branded bit, but then I'm cheap.. As for the Ram question, it's a little bit of yes and no. You'll only be able to use 3.5(ish)GB of the Memory, but the system does use it in the background for various uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
