My laptop is coming tuesday!!! WOOHOO!!!

What's the best brand of ram/place to order 2 sticks of 1gb 667mhz ram to swap out the 2x 512mb I have in my dell?? A link to it would be nice! THANKS!




p.s.
I know newegg is good but there are just too many choices, crucial, corsair, patriot, gskill... etc, which one should I get? THANKS!

Hey man, I don't think your going to find a better deal than this:

http://shop2.outpost.com/product/477...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG

667mhz 1GB - $80 a stick!

I was pointed to the above with a similiar question, someone with more RAM experience might know something I don't but it says it's tested at 667mhz, what else could be wrong?

Let me know what you guys think.

oh that IS a good deal, newegg sells the same thing for $89 plus higher shipping as well.... thanks for the link...

I ALSO REMEMBERED something else, last week i saw a thread about people who bought 667mhz ram for their e1705/9400 but it ended up running at 533 for some reason, anyone know how i can avoid that??? THANKS!

This is what I bought:

They did not have the Corsair at my store, but I had 2 of the 1gig 533mhz DDR2 Corsair in my 9300 and had some issue with it. This Patriot ram ran 12 hrs on memtest86 with no errors and no lockups like I got with the Corsair in my 9300.

Do u guys think the prices of 667 memory will stay about the same, or will go down in the next few months?
I'm asking because I want to upgrade to 2gb also, but was planing to do so when I swap my yonah with a merom..
If the prices should stay in the 10$ frame there is no need to wait that long is it?

It should stay about the same in the next 3 months (within $10) just get it now, it's not there is going to be a ram higher than 667mhz any time soon to make the price drop.

I mean it's only $10, why not...

I think 800MHz is on the horizon, anyone else heard that?

Aw crap, didn't even realize that!

Sorry dude! Call them up and ask them what the deal is!

I checked that link out about 2 weeks ago, it was in stock then

My bad dude, Newegg may be your best bet!

Hmm.. this looks like a sweet deal..

I read some reviews on newegg and patriot seems to be better than corsair.

I think I'll jump on it if someone doesent find a better deal
