    I'm thinking about upgrading my W3J, but don't want to go lifting off the keyboard to upgrade the RAM, so I'm thinking of just getting 1x2GB of DDR2 667 (for a total of 2.5GB of RAM).

    Anyone have any problems using a 2GB stick of RAM in the W3J? Any particular brands to avoid?

    Thanks.

    I suppose that the guy who tested if 4 GB ram would work in a W3J is me? :D
    Anyway, I use Corsair 2 gb ram sticks, and they work without any problems, aside from the 2.87 gb limitation in W3J's bios/chipset, whatever.

    Also look in the Hot ram deals thread fro great prices on ram(most if not all brands of memory should work).
