SODIMM: PNY 256MB PC133 $14.99 AR +S&H

[BobSnob]

TigerDirect have 256MB SODIMM sticks of PNY SDRAM for $34.99 - $20MIR + S&H ($9 for me). Rebate is from PNY, specific to TigerDirect, and limit one per customer. I'd be interested if anyone knows any better deals on sodimms.

same thing was 4.99 yesterday at amazon & J&R... quickly canceled though

I've been looking to upgrade my laptop's memory, but I don't know much about it. Its a Toshiba Satallite 2800-s202 and according to crucial, it uses 144-pin sodimm's at pc100. Will this pc133 run allright? Its just like a computer, so it'll work, but run at pc100, right?

Thanks!

Thanks, Aphex! I just ordered, so now I'm headed off to get my gf a new lock for her apartment. Never enough locks for an apartment full of girls. I have copies, of course....

Uhh... be careful, not ALL 133 is compatible with 100. I picked up a stick of the cheapie kingston 256 pc133. Failed to run in my thinkpad t20 (100 mhz), but worked fine in my t23 (133 mhz). I'm not an electrical engineer, but my guess is that the really bargain basement is missing a few wires that will let it auto-adjust.

x23 takes PC133 so i think the ram should work.

I will never buy for these guys again. I purchase some ram from them a while back. It had a $19.99 rebate.
I sent them documents and they claimed I didn't. Long story short sent them documents 3x and 8 months later
I got my rebate. Not worth the hassle. If you go with this deal, I highly suggest you keep copies of everything.

 

[laugh]

tigerdirect even has advertisement on this board. oh well. i bet admins know it's not a good store, but money rules.

if you don't like Tigerdirect, amazon has these for $32 shipped w/o rebate.

I had the same problems, but I attributed it to that POS Rebate House in New Rochelle,NY. You know the one, www.wheretheFismyrebate.com. This rebate is going to Parago (staples rebate house) and appears to be an actual PNY rebate. These things were enough to get me to do the deal.
I paid approx. $24 after rebate, not exactly smoking but a pretty darn good value.
