The best DDR SODIMM for a Fujitsu T4215???

Hi everyone I am new to this forum and would to know from all of you gurus out there which company makes the best and most reliable DDR SODIMM for my Fujitsu T4215?

The current specs on my tablet:

Lifetbook T-4215
Intel(R) Core (TM) 2 CPU
T7200 @2.00GHz
997 MHz, 1 GB RAM



I know my tablet/laptop has two slots and can hold up to 4 G of ram. I decided to go all out and upgrade to 4G of ram. So can someone point me the right direction

 

First of all, you need DDR2 SODIMM modules, not DDR.

Secondly, memory is built to a standard, so there's no such thing as a best and most reliable brand*.

*For you nitpickers out there, yes, strictly speaking this isn't true but I'm talking specifically about real world performance when running the memory at its rated speeds.

 

Anything cheapest will do, as long as you keep off no-name brands.

Something like Kingston will be just fine.

 

Have to agree here: RAM modules are commodities and have been for a long time.

The least expensive is 'the best' as long as it provides life time warranty.

My only caveat would be to get the modules as identical/matched as you can. Doesn't cost anything extra and one less thing to worry about (incompatibilities between two RAM modules and/or the M/B they are used in).

When you have run MEMTEST overnight and can trust the new sticks - sell off the old sticks to recover some of the cost.

Cheers!

 

Most memory modules come from the same few manufacturers anyways... (different than the companies that sell you the memory, ie. Micron, Hynix, Samsung, etc.)

 

You are right what I need is DDR2 SODIMM. What do you guys think about this company....

Which company do I go with? Both have a lifetime warranty.




What about this company?

The one thing that I'm confused about is what they said....

" PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM SODIMMs. Supports Dual Channel DDR2.
Memory speed may differ from the original system memory but is guaranteed to work in your computer. When mixed, the memory will run at the slowest speed installed or the highest speed allowed by your system. "

I don't get what are they trying to convey? I'd thought that once you put in more ram your laptop is suppose to run faster.

 

When you put more memory in the notebook, the notebook itself will run faster, yes.

What they are trying to say is if you put a 667mhz stick of ram and also a 533mhz stick of ram in your notebook, they will both run at the slower speed (533mhz). If you have two sticks of ram and one of them is rated for a slower frequency, they will both run at that slower frequency.

I think the highest frequency supported by your chipset is 667mhz. So just make sure you buy 2 sticks of PC2-5300 (667mhz) DDR2 SDRAM sodimms.

By the way, the links you gave don't show any ram for me.

 

any DDR2 RAM module with work... personally brand doesn't matter unless ur gonna Overclock CPU and RAM... i would get kingston or OCZ... for your laptop , DDR2-800 RAM modules will be the cheapest... it will automatically downclock to 667MHz or whatever is max RAM speed...

 

I tried looking for Kingston but they don't make 2G DDR2 sodimm ram for my laptop.

My laptop has two slots for ram. Currently I have one stick of 1G ram in one slot and the other slot is empty. I don't know what the frequency rating is on that one stick of 1G ram. If I were to buy a 2G stick and add it to the other slot how much slower will my tablet run when compared a 4G ram(both sticks same frequency)?

 

performance wise, the best ram for this would be CL4 DDR2 667MHz PC5300. you can choose from kingston HyperX series or other brands.

 

It wont be noticeable. You're probably running a 32-bit OS and also a 32-bit memory controller. This means even if you have 4gb of ram, you will only have access to just over 3gb.

 

Okay so right now I have one stick of ram that is 1G and I don't know what the frequency rating is (MHz). So if I were to get another stick of 2G ram that is the best that I can do right? Going 4G is just a waste of money right?

 

If you have 4gb it will run in dual channel mode (not just asynchronous dual channel), which will help if you have an integrated GPU because it will double your ram bandwidth (as compared to just having one stick).

It might be worth it.
