    Hi,

    My M1530 (4GB RAM) is out of warranty, and the memory has gone bust - I get occasional BSoDs and the diagnostic verifies it. (One stick, I think, will check soon)

    I want to replace one of the sticks. My current options (local shops etc) are Kingson Valueram, Samsung and Corsair Value Select (all are 2GB sticks).

    Will they all work with the M1530? Is any one recommended more than the other?

    Thanks

    Thanks.
    My only unanswered question from that thread (it's closed, can't post there) is am I allowed to swap only one of the two memory sticks?
    (I currently have 2x2GB by hynix, would like to swap the bad one with a single 2GB by Kingson/Corsair)

    You can swap one if you'd like.
