    Hi All,

    I've been browsing newegg.com for memory. Someone there posted a review saying that G. SKILL, while works great, does not deliver double data rate on his T60. How about Kingston? On newegg.com, kingston memory seemed to have compatibility with some lenovo machine parts (listed). However, the drawback is that kingston ddr2 1gig ram costs twice as much as G. SKILL ($160 vs. $80)

    There is only a slightly increased chance the off-brand memory won't work as it is not tested as much before sending it off.
