JustAnotherFarang Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I want to buy more memory for my laptop. I remember someone posting the website address of Crucial Scan to check what memory I have but I cannot remember the online website in Thailand that I could order it from. Can anyone point me in the right direction please JAF
penguin Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I don't know which website you would have been looking at but Google Crucial or one of the other big name memory companies like Kingston, Corsair, Apacer etc. etc. Each one should have a tool to check your memory or you can simply enter the model # of your laptop. Another way to find out what is inside your computer is to download a free program such as Belarc Advisor or Config Inspector. Crucial is a brand that might not be so easy to get in Thailand. Once you know the type of memory you need then if you are anywhere near a computer shop look for a brand like Kingston Value Ram, more than adequate for most users and sold just about everywhere.
JustAnotherFarang Posted February 23, 2007 Author Posted February 23, 2007 www.thanni.com - good prices Cheers guys I already know what memory I have after using Crucial Scan, not really looking to buy their memory and I also have Belarc which I highly recommend to everyone I shall check out the website and see what prices they are selling for Thanks again JAF
JustAnotherFarang Posted February 23, 2007 Author Posted February 23, 2007 checked out both sites Crucial Scan website reports as follows Currently installed memory:512MB DDR PC2100 Second slot : EMPTY Each memory slot can hold DDR PC2700 with a maximum of 1GB per slot So I checked Thanni and I am a little confused as to which memory I can purchase from this list of 1gb chips Kingston ValueRAM 200 Pin 1GB DDR2-533 Notebook RAM Retail 2,880.00 บาท Kingston ValueRAM 200 Pin 1GB DDR2-667 Notebook RAM Retail 2,950.00 บาท Kingmax TinyBGA Series 200 Pin 1GB DDR2-533 Notebook RAM Retail 3,540.00 บาท Kingston ValueRAM 200 Pin 1GB DDR333 Notebook RAM Retail 3,790.00 บาท Kingston ValueRAM 200 Pin 1GB DDR400 Notebook RAM Retail 4,120.00 บาท Which one is best or can I just buy the cheapest ?? Thanks JAF
Florin Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 You need DDR, not DDR-2...so one of the bottom 2 on your list They'll both run at PC-2100 anyway, since that's what your current RAM tops out at.
penguin Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 As Florin says, get what ever is cheapest from the following specs as it won't run faster than PC2100 anyway. DDR266 = PC2100 DDR333 = PC2700 DDR400 = PC3200
JustAnotherFarang Posted February 23, 2007 Author Posted February 23, 2007 Cheers guys I really appreciate the way this forum helps others out Highly commendable JAF
