    Hey folks, I been lookin' at this PC3200 1GB SODIMM stick at upgradenation.com: http://www.upgradenation.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=NBM%2DK1GSO400

    Everything looks good except for that Kingmax label, cuz I heard some not so good things about their memory
    I wanna know if I should jump on it cause the price is lookin' good.

    Keep in mind, HP zv5000 uses PC2700 memory not 3200. It will probably work, just at the lower speed. I put a 512MB stick of Kingmax in my ThinkPad. It works great, at least in my case. Take a look at this:

    Good Luck.






    I know things, things that could get me killed


    Thinkpad T41:
    * 1.6Ghz Pentium M * 768Mb Memory * 40Gb Hitachi 7200RPM * Panasonic UJ-845-B DVD+RW *

    It'll work with the pc3200. I got a 512MB PC3200 Crucial Memory Stick in my ZV500z now. I wanna match the with the same specs I have now.
