    Nice find! It's the same RAM that I'm using in my HP Pavilion dv6500t SE. This extra kit will make a nice addition to the gently used HP dv2700 I just picked up. =D

    I'm tempted, but I know if I wait, the price can only go lower.

    I spent 300 on a pentium 4 also, and now they are going for 30 :/ i think its better to spend more and have it. 30 dollars savings isnt bad for a year!

    The RAM runs exceptionally cool... of course, this is purely subjective as I have no way of measuring or recording the temperature of my RAM. But I can say that the RAM is warm to the touch at full load.

    Well, playing that game is nothing but an endless, frustrating, and vicious cycle. The price is right, and with free shipping, you really can't beat it. I mean hell, it's $37 bucks including shipping. If this were a $1,500 laptop then yeah, I'd say that you have case for waiting for the price to go lower.

    But we're talking less than $40 for some kick butt, high quality notebook memory on the cheap. How much lower does an already low as hell price have to be before making a purchase?

    I dunno. It just seems silly to wait for the price to go lower when it's already at a dirt cheap price.
