Memory (RAM) upgrade for a 6400/E1505

Hello!

I'm planning to upgrade my ram by buying 2x1GB at 667 mhz. Presently, I have a Dell Branded 1x1 GB. I'm thinking about buying non-dell memory. I looked at Kingston, Corsair, Crucial.. Does anyone can help me with their experience and knowledge, what brand has a good quality/price ratio. It's for gaming and eventually Vista ...

Thank you!

P.S. I'm canadien, so forget about newegg .. Well, NICX is not so bad..

 

Corsair and Crucial are the better of the three you listed. Also you might try OCZ or G.Skill.
Kingston is pretty good and will probably be cheaper than the other brands.

 

I found

Problems with value pack?
For normal one, its 165$ per 1 GB . ouch

For the crucial, I could get 2x1GB for like 131,99$ US or about 150$ CDN

Kinsgton is like 165$ per 1BG also

DO you know about Mushkin brand?

 

Have a look at my post. I just upgraded to 2 Gigs and bought it on sale from NCIX check the links in the post!

Thanks a lot

Maybe I could get G.skill ... I read a lot of people going with this brand. Does it worth the cost?

And I would need the model name to be sure its okay

 

I actually run those $131 Crucial sticks, and they are great

 

I have the Inspiron E1505. Purchased 2 x 1 GB PC5300 (667 Mhz) G.Skill from Newegg...purr like kittens! I am so pleased with G.Skill, that I intend to use that brand on a new Core 2 Duo Desktop I am about to build.

No point in getting 667MHz. I you can get 533MHz cheaper, do so

 

G.Skill is not really avaible in Canada

Nothing on NCIX I hope that Newegg wil ship to Canada soon!!

I could have 2 DImm on ebay, but I can get 2 Crucial for less.. I'll probabbly go with Crucial

 

Sry for the double post, I saw some nice OCZ memory.. anyone tried OCZ on their E1505 ?

 

Hey did you check http://www.cendirect.com/ sometimes you get cheaper than NCIX and they are pretty fast too.

 

how bout using a 2 different brand ram to run?..a 1 gb kingston and a 1 gb dell in a notebook?

 

I finally bought Crucial's memory...the one suggested by kaybertoss earlier on this thread.

I'll inform you when they will be installed!

 

Sry for the double post again! The sticks are from Corsair, not from crucial

 

Received my ram today!

It's now installed and fully functionnal!

Thank you all!

 

Should not be a problem

 

I always answer this question the same way... Buy the cheapest thing NewEgg has... If it don't work you just send it back and try something else. If they all have the same specs it makes no difference... it either works or it don't. By the way..I have the same machine (1505) with two OCZ PC2-5300 1 Gb SO-DIMMs (333 MHz) and it works just fine. It was the cheapest thing they had at the time. Used the same ones in my last Lenovo as well... No problems whatever.

 

As Canadians we don't have the luxury of the EGG. The original poster like myself is an Canadian so our options are a little slimmer.

 

We have NICX which is not bad, but not as good as newegg!
