Thanks to the excellent advice I got here before, I've been
enjoying my 32Mb in my Kodak DC215 (?) 1.00MP camera. Now I want
to upgrade the memory again, and I have two questions, one specific
to my Thinkpad, one not.
I'm going to NZ in two weeks and I'm thinking 112 shots might not
be enough before downloads (I plan to take my TP but still...) At
least I'm hoping it is. Of course I have to deal with batteries
too.
I checked pricing on the FutureShop (canadian) site, and on
Crucial, and did a quick look at eBay buy-it-now prices.
It looks like the sweet spot (all in U$) on Crucial.com is 128Mb or
256Mb, which are 40c/Mb (49c/Mb and 44c/Mb with shipping to Canada
respectively). The 512Mb is a bit more expensive, 81c/Mb (85c/Mb
shipped). Saw one on ebay for 67c/Mb shipped, but it's ANMO brand
from "GetMySystem".
Interestingly, FutureShop matches the Crucial prices on everything
up to 128Mb, if I pay the $13 FedEx for direct shipping (but
Crucial wins if I take free FedEx to California and get a friend to
mail).
My question is, am I right in thinking 128/256Mb is the sweet spot,
and Crucial's $100 for the 256 with free shipping is a good price?
My TP600 related question has to do with PCMCIA adapters. I'll buy
one here for simplicity. With my current USB adapter, while I seem
to be able to just plug it in and it's seen, if I unplug it and
plug it in again, I often (or always?) have to rebook Win2K. How
easy is the PCMCIA adapter to use with Win2K? Just shove it in and
eject it? Have to reboot or do anything special?
Thanks!
