    Meh.. I'm always skeptical about such cheap hardware.

    Did you read the article in PC World February 2006 about Counterfeit hardware? It is an excellent read.

    Memory with poor performance, stamped at speeds that they aren't capable of running properly, overclocked CPUs sold as higher models, fake batteries exploding (blowing the laptop to pieces) http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=12863&highlight=Glad

    Just be careful :)

    I asked this before and am unsure of the answer. I have a Tosh
    M45-S2653. Will DDR2 (PC4200) ram work in here (removing the PC2700 that came with it). Forget what I run, What I want to run, or the cost. Will it work, or is there a hardware conflict that will prevent this.

    I want to swap out with 1 gb of crucial PC4200 DDR2, either 1 stick of 2 512's.

    Thanks
