    RAM upgrade for X60s?

    Probably an easy question but I'm confused...

    I received my X60s yesterday (17044DU). It came with 512MB. I want to add 1GB of memory to it. I buy most of my computer stuff from NewEgg so I went to their site to find a 1GB module and you have to answer some questions to find the right thing. I think I have the first few things right...

    Type: 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM
    Capacity: 1GB
    Speed: DDR2 553 (PC2 4200)
    ECC: No
    Registered/Unbuffered: Unbuffered

    But then it asks about Cas Latency and the options are 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5.

    Under each of these options it appears NewEgg has a number of items available but I'm not sure which to pick?

    I left the Cas Latency option at ANY and looked through the items for sale. It looks like all of them are listed as "Cas Latency: 4" and the prices range from
    $73.99 all the way up to $165. Advice?

    Try to use some tool like CPUZ , Aida etc. in order to determine what CAS latency your X60s preinstalled memory module has, then order a 1 GB module with equal CAS latency.

    Is the preinstalled 512MB in one DIMM or two? If it's in two, then you'll be maxing out at 1.25GBs of RAM unless you install two new DIMMs.

    혹시 한국분이세요? 맞다면 정말 반갑네요.
    혹시 X60 레노보에서 구입하면 얼마나 걸리는지 아세요?
    감사합니다.

    X60 & X60s use DDR2 667 MHz, don't they?
