    Hello all,

    I've just received my 1530 and I'm already looking for ways to upgrade it. I ordered it with 2GB RAM, figuring I could buy my own for cheaper.

    Is there anything I should know about specific types of RAM, or should I just go for the cheapest 2 gig DDR sticks I can find?


    Thanks!

    Cheapest DDR2-PC5300 sticks that are 200pin are fine. Make sure they have a lifetime warranty, and check out the RAM Deals thread.
