    You can look on eBay for used. Older ThinkPads can be picky on RAM.

    Memory prices are like a bell curve. The most produced memory which right now would be DDR2 is often the least expensive unless you can find it used. Older and the newest memory aren't being produced in as high quantities so they don't have the best economies of scale.
