HOT RAM Deals! (read first before posting)

New Egg does not list a compatible RAM for
HP laptop DV9700T series (media center). Where do I find a compatibility chart for this laptop to order 4GB 2 DIMMs, please?

 

You want 200pin DDR2-667MHz (or DDR2 PC5300) RAM.

 

A-Data 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-5300 DDR2 SO-DIMM Laptop RAM Kit for $55 after rebate in Newegg

 

Will this
OCZ 2GB PC2-5400 SODIMM 667MHz 200-pin work in my Vostro 1400??

I dont see why not(almost any DDR2 200-pin SoDIMM module will work). There is always a small possibility of a compatible problem or a DOA(dead on arrival) memory stick but thats were the lifetime warranty comes in .

 

Hi there - I'm thinking about upgrading my HP dv2000 RAM memory, it's got 1GB currently, can i add this 1GB module without problems?

Thanks in advance

 

Remember your laptop likely has 2x512 sticks so you would have to remove 1 512 stick to put in that 1gb stick making your new grand total 1.5gbs not 2gbs.

 

Yep. The memory is compatible with your system(almost any DDR2 so-dimm stick is) but there is no way to guarantee that the ram will work without any problem(While shipping, it could get damaged or when putting it in, there could be a ESD). I suggest that you throughly run a Memtest86+(see guide here)

 

i just got this for $44.00 , $30 if i ever get rebate . hope it's good

Thank you guys

 

Wow, my local Fry's (in Austin, TX) had Crucial PC-5300 667 SO-DIMM on sale with a $22 rebate. Great deal if my rebate comes through, but regular price was $42. The same stick is $50.99 on newegg with $6 shipping. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148087

I was surprised - even at apples-to-apples retail. I bought 2 so I get to 4gb for $62.

 

Where's the rebate on that? Or is that expired?

 

Amazing deals, thank you!

I wonder if I should buy this for my Dell XPS m1530 I got from Best Buy (should be obvious which one I'm talkin' about) and upgrade from 2GB to 4GB.

 

If you want 4gb, this is a GREAT deal (as long as the rebate actually comes back). I bought 2 x 2gb Crucial sticks (probably these) two weeks ago for $62 w/rebate and thought that price was great. Crucial must be trying to move a lot of inventory hoping that a lot of rebates DON'T come through!

 

$55 After Rebate.

http://www.frys.com/product/5284707 !!!!!!!!!!!1 i just ordered another 4gb just for the hell of it..22.00 + shipping for 4gb.. now thats a deal

 

Jeesus, just ordered 4 gb myself, wow, now that is a DEAL!

 

So you probably read somewhere in my sig that my Dell D430 was having issues and warranted a replacement.

Well, to make things even worse my Transcend 1GB RAM chip went bad at about the same time.

Dell claimed the main problem was on the mainboard, and the RAM was just a 2nd issue. So I went ahead and tried to get an RMA from Transcend, but despite the two year warranty (not even lifetime!) they won't honor it because I bought it from a reseller.

NewEgg, even though it has been about 7 months since my purchase, offered to replace the RAM chip so long as I paid for return shipping.

NewEgg ROCKS!
Greg

P.S.: I won't be buying another Transcend product. I encourage you not to either.

 

I have transcend ram in my desktop,but it's as old as the world itself

I only trust OCZ,Corsair, Kingston and a few others...

 

I have a 2 gb stick of Transcend memory in my T61 and I haven't had any problems with it. My two 32 GB SSD from Transcend are working perfectly as external drives. Also my 16 gb sdhc card in my nokia n800 has no issues.

 

woot woot, convinced 3 friends to buy RAM from FRY's. I should get a discount

 

where can we get the new ram for the new intel chipsets. like 1333mhz ram. I can't find it anywhere. I know it'll be expensive now but I want to watch the prices so i can upgrade later.

 

Wait for it to hit mainstream, DDR3 is still in its infant stages.
Newegg will have them for sure soon.

 

AHHH!!! It's not listed anymore!!! I would have bought the max limit per person at that price! I needed some ram for my laptop too...

I read the guide, so 5400 should work the same as a 5300? I have a XPS 1330.

 

Yeah, it was a good deal.

5400 is still DDR2 memory(as Gophn mentioned, it mainly just marketing) so it should work just fine. If there is a problem with the ram(ram can get damaged while being shipped or just being handled-both are very unlikely), use the warranty on the ram(most manufacturers have a lifetime warranty so it should be no problem).

 

Not bad deals at all. Going to pick up a 2GB kit.

 

wow i wish that was still available

 

there was a deal on newegg a couple of weeks ago for a 4GB of ram at $45 after a rebate.

i sold my 2x1's for $30 on craigslist and bought 2x2's for $45...

so it's getting pretty ridiculously cheap. might as well upgrade for $15.

 

I'm glad to hear that Newegg is taking good care of you. All of my experiences have been great with them so far; one of my favorite resellers for sure.

 

woah where the heck have you been??

 

Mainly just lurking around a bit.

I've got another notebook on the way, and if it works out OK then I'll be upgrading the ram. Looks like there have been some great deals lately.

 

any new 4gb deals around i need another 4gb or maybe 2 2gb stick deals??

 

And specifically cas 4 and 4-4-4-12 timings?

 

Same here.

 

ont care much about the timings just need 4gb total

 

You originally wrote

Note 1b: All Santa Rosa [w/ mobile Intel 965 chipset] notebooks WILL NOT take advantage of DDR2-800.... it will just be underclocked to 667. So do not waste your money, just get DDR2-667. Only a few notebooks [w/ desktop Core 2 Duo's (Conroe)] at the moment can take advantage of the DDR2-800 memory. Thats it.

I ask

Is there no way (if you are adventurous) to take advantage of DDR2-800.
Perhaps use software to affect the latency, timing etc
If this can be done, please can you provide the way to do that

Thanks

 

if you can overclock your cpu in the notebook then you will be able to use more than the 667..but otherwise no it will not be used at 800

 

Thanks Zfactor for your response.

As you can tell this new to me.
You say "if you can overclock your cpu in the notebook ...."
I ask "How do I find out if I can overclock the notebook cpu?"
I have seen info with regards to overclocking desktops but nothing on
notebooks.

 

do you have a xtreme series cpu??
