    or else a good place to look for ram is www.pricewatch.com just make sure you do research and find out what kind of ram you need, i usual check crucial like the previous post said and then look on pricewatch to get it cheaper

    Go to newegg.com and get the Transcend 1 GB sticks, they are about $125 shipped. I got one stick in my 6000 and I'm about to order the second. I changed it out after I turned my computer on the first time and haven't had any problems.

    Dell I6000D * 1.86Ghz * XP Pro * 60GB 7200RPM * 1GB RAM * 128MB X300 * DVD+/-RW

    Hi, I am about to purchase a 9300 and want to upgrade my RAM cheaply. I plan on gaming with my notebook so I need at least 1GB. I am planning on purchasing Transcend 1GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Notebook Memory from Newegg and getting the 256mb that comes stock from Dell. Will this memory work with the memory dell includes in the system and will it be able to work in Dual Channel.

    Thank you, Pjmyankees.
