    Hey again.

    1. Which of this companys should I choose:

    - Kreton (55$)
    - Transcend (56$)
    - Kingston (63$)
    - Samsung (72$)
    - HP (116$)

    They are all 1024MB DDR2 667MHZ

    2. I own a N100 - can I install the new memory alone, or would I need to take it to the lab ?

    3. I am still under warrenty - Installing a new memory will remove my warrenty ?

    THANKS A MILLION

    cheapest is best, want warranty w/any you buy.

    You should be able to do yourself, I am sure you can find instructions on line.

    Upgrading Ram does not usaully void warranty of course the new RAM is not covered.

    I second Crucial. One of the most reliable memory manufactures out there.

    The brand of the stick doesn't matter at all.
    The brand of the memory chips soldered on the stick do.
    And even then it only matters to overclokers.
    At the stock speeds they'll perform the same.
    Crucial doesn't bake the chips.
    Just buy on price, make sure they include lifetime warranty and be done with it.
