    I am looking to add another 1 Gb of DDR2/667 Mhz ram for my M1210.
    Anyone here knows what brand is used in M1210? Also what is a good alternative to buy. Thanks

    To know what RAM you have in your system, download CPU-Z from www.cpuid.com The memory should be listed in the second last tab(if I remember right). It will tell you the name of the manufacturer, the frequency, and the type (DDR vs DDR2). Just look at the type and frequency, note it down and order it from www.newegg.com Recommended brands are OCZ and Corsair. Cheaper RAMs aren't bad, but just for peace-of-mind, I suggest getting OCZ. You may also want to run memtest 86+ overnight after you install it to make sure that it's free from errors.

    Kingston, Curcial and Corsiar are considered top brands.
