Latitude D830 memory specs

I am thinking about buying the Latitude d830 but dell's memory upgrades are so much more expensive than they should be. I was wondering what the specs on the Latitude's are, actually I think i have everything but the pin. i know that the memory the offer with it are DDR2-667 SDRAM and that it does have 2 DIMM slots. I believe all i need is the pin before being able to order the right memory, any help would be wonderful.

 

They are just regular 200 pin so-dimms. And it is common among most OEM's for it to be cheaper to buy RAM cheaper after market.

 

Also look at the HOT Ram Deals thread for great prices on DDR2-667 so dimm ram.

Newegg.com usually has some very good deals on notebook ram. I just purchased a 2GB Patriot stick for $109 after the $20 rebate for my T60. And as others have said pretty much all notebook memory C2D and S.R. laptops use the PC-5300 memory modules.

I would never buy upgraded memory from the manufacture. Why pay $200-300 for something which is value ram you can find from another source for a 1/3 the price.

 

Fry's or outpost.com has 2Gb patriot stick for 89. free shipping. I purchased 4GB (2x2) for under 200.

 

Ouch Maybe I can call newegg and cancel tomorrow morning or have them price match it. Thanks for the tip.

 

Thank you, i think i'm probably going to stick to 1 stick of 2gb for now, and get another one soon.

 

I'll also probably go with a corsair or kingston, i've heard that patriot and others just aren't nearly as good.
