I have managed to setup another notebook to crunch some numbers. However, I just realized that I don't have enough RAM. I'm running 64Megs on an IBM Pen3 550Mhz, WinXP SP2. Does anyone know where I can get some cheep PC100/PC133 SODIMM 128Megs of RAM? I'm only reviving this notebook for the project so I'm not looking to spend big bucks. Thanks again for your help.

Last modified: 8 Jun 2006, 5:09:23 UTC Ebay is great. . in adition to that, I know as a geek I looked through my stash for any extra parts (no luck). A lot of us are pretty happy to send off parts sitting in a closet when we know they'd go toward something useful. -E ID: 18066 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Another spot to visit would be www.pricewatch.com; although I've been nailed by shipping charges from some of the vendors on that list.. ($80 to send a motherboard from New York, NY, to Kodiak, AK. - $30 for shipping, $50 for handling.) ID: 18081 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

As I mentioned previously, this is just something I want to help out with. So, I'm trying not to invest too much as I don't use this laptop. Brent Canada Eh?

It will run it as 100. Email me at my personal email address so I can make necessary arrangements. Thanks again, Brent Canada Eh? ID: 18290 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

But.. One IBM's site.. It says the following NOTE: Field replaceable uint (FRU) part numbers identified in the CRU column with an asterisk are customer replaceable units. Memory options Option part number FRU part number CRU 32MB 100MHz SDRAM SoDIMM 20L0253 (Withdrawn 25 Jun 2001) 20L0263 * 64MB 100MHz SDRAM SoDIMM 20L0254 20L0264 * 128MB 100MHz SDRAM SoDIMM 20L0255 20L0265 * NOTE: 100MHz systems must use 100MHz memory. Withdrawn means that the product is no longer marketed by IBM. ID: 18293 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
