(all prices are USD $)
Kingston is not "Thinkpad Approved". One may wonder why..
the only two thinkpad approved memory vendors are Apex Data
and Apricorn. I've got 2 32MB Kingston DIMM's in my 760ED.
Cost: $300. They work fine. Apricorn's would have been
$350 each.
The thing to watch out for with Laptop memory is that they
don't "stack" the ram. My Kingston 32MB DIMM's have 4 chips
on each DIMM. A "stacked" DIMM would have about 8 or 10.
I could have bought 2 "stacked" Hitachi 32MB DIMMs for my
TP for $240 each, but I found out that this would have been
the absolute worst solution: high power consumption, poor
reliability.
BTW, does anyone know if there is a 760ED specific mailing
list ?
Thanks,
