Inspiron 7500 ram

[EXreaction]

I have been working on a guys Inspiron 7500, and it only has 64MB of ram in it...so we were going to get him 256MB more(one 256MB stick, not 2 128's)...

The thing is, we don't know exactly what kind of ram it takes(from newegg)...I have looked on the crucial site, and it is $70 for one 256MB stick. But that costs a lot more than we would spend on it...anyone know of some stuff that would work for around $40 or less?

I think this stuff would work...but I am not sure...

Well the Dell site says PC100 memory, and your Newegg link is PC133. It may work, but it can conflict with the 64mb already installed. Don't know if it'll down clock.

Weird...seems like this laptop's specs keep changing on me. I could have sworn there was PC 133 in there...and I thought it was a 600Mhz P3...now its 501?

With one 256MB stick, I would have to take one 32MB stick out...the thing I was wondering about was the height more...sounds like there are short, and tall SODIMM's...and there is only enough room for one that is 1 1/4 inch tall...I am unfamiliar with SODIMM's...so I don't know...

Dig, Ex.

The CPU is probably a 600MHz. Intel uses a "Speed Step" that underclocks the CPU when using battery power. So, unless you're freading a 501MHz CPU when on AC power, it's completely normal. Copy?

Also, to ther best of my knowledge, all SODIMM is the same height. I've personally never seen any "low profile" or the like.

BTW, I sent you a PM. I might be able to help with the RAM

Heh, ya, I got the PM...you know if your ram would work in it?

Lemme check on the speed quick...I think your right...since when I was working on it before I had it plugged in.
