9300 ram question

[Foz2001]

So I've got 2X512mb sticks in my 9300, what are my options to get to 2gb? This only has 2 dimm slots correct? (havnt bothered to open it up yet) So I would have to sell this ram and get 2X1gb? What kinda $ am I looking at to get to 2gb? Thanks.

Yeah theres only 2 slots, so your gonna have to sell what you got now. I got my 2gb of transcend for around $211 from newegg.

You want DDR2 also. The transcend ram from newegg has gotten great feedback from 9300/XPS2 users.

Yup, you need 1GB sticks. DDR2 ram is dirt cheap even for laptops. I would recomend what ever you can find the cheapest. I use a 1GB stick of Trancend and the 256 that came with my Dell. Its about 100$ per stick from newegg.

If you're going to be selling your 2x512MB DDR2 modules, I'd be interested in buying it from you.

Just in case you're interested in selling it, can you tell me whether they're DDR2-400mhz or DDR2-533 RAM? Also, how old is your laptop and when were your RAM modules manufactured?

If you didn't know already, you can found out the manufacturing date of your RAM by opening CPU-Z and looking at its SPD tab.

Once again, if you're interested, let me know by posting here or PM'ing me.

For 2 GB, it's somewhere in the $200 ballpark, shipped. Not bad since Dell wants $800-1000 for that upgrade; at least that's how it was about 3 months ago. This thread has some links for memory you can get.
