bill, i think you can use the 200-pin SODIMM. DDR PC2100 (CT3264X265) on dell inspiron 8200. I remember there was some discussion about this.

someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Dell Home department Sells 256MB PC2100 memory for i8200 for only 54 after 10% discount, also free shipping and no tax outside of TX. Anyone knows if Crucial RAM are better than Dell ones?

I am about to buy some PC2100 DDR memory for my Inspiron 8200. I just feel safer buying it from Dell than a 3rd party. Only problem is--it is out of stock and doesn't ship for 1-2 weeks! My laptop will be here Wednesday--I can't wait that long! Are there any good coupons besides the 15% available for Crucial right now?

Thanks!

i think the 15% off coupon is the best coupon for crucial right now. they had a 20% off coupon but it only lived for a few days.

Alright, next question from me about Crucial...On their website, it says:

"Note: To protect our company against abuse of this (return) policy, Crucial reserves the right to charge a restocking fee (up to 20%) at our discretion. "

Does anyone have any experience with returns to Crucial and their "20% restocking fee charged at their discretion" policy?


Here is the email question I emailed them to explain my question:
================
Hello,

I just bought a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop with 128MB and planned to purchase additional memory from Crucial to save a LOT of money vs. the Dell price! I am planning on keeping the laptop for college in a few weeks?however, in the event that I returned the laptop to Dell for some reason during their 30-day return period, would I be able to return the additional memory I purchased to Crucial? If so, would this ?20% restocking fee at Crucial?s discretion? be assessed?

Thank you.
================

is the 15percent webpromo link still working for you folks? i can get there, but there isnt a place for you to type your 'company name' and when you click GO button, it doesnt go anywhere, i've cleared out my temp files and cookies and rebooted as well.

Umm... every time I try to use coupon codes I get this message:

Sorry, you can't redeem this coupon code with the items you're purchasing. This coupon is only valid for $20 off coupon offer. If you would like to use this coupon now, please review the conditions of the coupon and make the necessary changes to your cart.

Can someone tell me a page that has one that works, or PM/email me a coupon code: cck@mdmba.com. Thanks!
