Ram for 9300

Hey Guys,

Just ordered Inspiron 9300.

I ordered only 256 mb ram because it'll be cheaper to buy elsewhere.

Now here is the 64,000 dollar question: Which ram should I buy?

I could not find any info on the dell site other than it is DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz.

I guess i only need the pin amount on the ram because I want to order it before the dell gets here.

Also I'd like to find out what is a good wireless, optical mouse for the notebook because I never liked touchpads. I know there are millions out on there on the market but I just want to hear if anyone has any favorites.

Thank you

 

get the transcend 1 GB stick (or sticks if u want 2 GB)...from www.newegg.com ..and it should be around $100 per stick

 

I know we've been recommending transcend alot, but they are offering Kingston now for the same price. Exact same ram.

I would go with Kingston since it is a more well-known brand compared to the transcend

any idea on what works with dual channel? should it be two equal sticks like 2X512 or can it be 1 gb + 256 gb in dual channel as well?

 

Both sticks have to be the same in order to use dual channel IIRC.

However its usually not worth it, the performance only increases by a small amount, barely recognizable, so you may be better of getting 256 + 1024, and upgrade with another 1024 stick when necessary

 

thanks for the advice! i had posted the same in another forum and got the same reply. i'll go for the 1gb.

 

ok..no problem...good luck
