I want to upgrade the memory on one of my laptops

[The Spawn]

Its a Dell Inspiron B130...right now the RAM is at 248, 256...I want to make it 1 Gig. The cheapest place I've come across so far is this one:

Anyone know any better places?

Usually, cheapest isn't the greatest...and the dual module thing to attain 1 Gig falls on deaf ears for me.

Search results expire apparently...so to actually get the link, I think you have to fill the form.

I use either Tigerdirect or newegg for my computer needs.

Also dont forget to check if your pc can handle a gig (im sure it would)

 

[The Spawn]

It can handle two.

You could just go to the manufacturer website, type in the model number and look for the specs of your desktop.

When you brought your pc the motherboard should have come with a book, in the book it will tell you whats recommended for Memory and what Hertz the processor can goto etc...

If failing that like the person above me said.

That almost can be misconstrued as an attack, Black_Dust.

I'm not attacking you, I'm just saying it may be misconstrued.

That better for you

I have 3 laptops by the way...my most expensive one can handle 4 gigs.

 

[The Spawn]

Ok....so, wait...if I buy 1 gig, it will always come as two 512's?

Always?

 

[Diamanthus]

Two 512's = 1g but it doesn't mean you have to buy two 512's, you could just buy a single 1g module. Also, if the current 256mb is a single module, then you wouldn't have to take it out, just stick a 1g and keep the 256mb.

 

[black_dust]

Dell pcs normally run on the basis of if you have a 512 in one slot you have to have a 512 in the other, dont know why dell Motherboards have to have the same slot same memory thing going on, dont know if that would apply to yours tho

Allright, thanks fellas.
