OT: Best Source for memory?

I want to bump up the memory in my Lenovo ThinkPad X61s from 2GB to

4GB.

Who are the most reliable sources from which to buy memory? ...Jim Thompson

crucial.com has good selection help.

newegg.com may have better prices.

I've used both sources.

I've used Crucial for all my memory upgrades. I especially like their money-back guarantee if the memory their selector tool picks doesn't work in your PC.

Disclaimer: I currently work for Micron Technology, the corporate parent of Crucial. However, I used Crucial well before then.

Thanks, Bob (and snipped-for-privacy@jecarter.us)! Crucial is where I was tending toward, but I haven't bought extra memory in _many_ years. ...Jim Thompson

Do you run a 64 bit OS on it or a 32 bit OS which can handle more than

3GB (thus not Windows)?

I always buy Kingston.

Like others have said, Crucial is good. You can download a program form them that will tell you what is installed, and what additional memory your computer can take.

I buy a lot of memory from geeks.com, and Ebay.com for older RAM.

I would check the Lenovo site and see what they recommend. Some times the chipset requires specific timings. And then look else where from there and see if what crucial recommends is the same.

Cheers
