Straight and simple:
I'm looking at a laptop: HP L2000 (no dual channel support, 2 RAM slots, SODIMM, max 2.0 GB, max DDR400)
In the memory configuration section on HPShopping:
Choices 1-4 all HP-specified DDR333
Choice 1 (Base choice): 512 MB (2x 256 MB)
Choice 2 (HP Upgrade): 512 MB (1x 512 MB) +$25
Choice 3 (HP Upgrade): 1024 MB (2x 512 MB) +$125
Choice 4 (HP Upgrade): 1024 MB (1x 1024 MB) +$175
Choice 5A (Self upgrade): Choice 2 + 512 MB DDR333 +$88
Choice 5B (Self upgrade): Choice 2 + 512 MB DDR400 +$90
Choice 6A (Self upgrade): Choice 2 + 1024 MB DDR333 +$136
Choice 6B (Self upgrade): Choice 2 + 1024 MB DDR400 +$165
Choice 7A (Self upgrade): Choice 1 (use 1x 256 MB, sell the other) + 1024 MB DDR333 +$136
Choice 7B (Self upgrade): Choice 1 (use 1x 256 MB, sell the other) + 1024 MB DDR400 +$140
Choice 8 (Total change): Choice 1, sell both sticks, buy 1024 MB DDR400 (1 RAM slot left over) +$140
Choice 9 (Total change): Choice 1, sell both sticks, buy 1024 MB DDR400 (2x 512 MB) +$130
(All prices from HP configuration and Crucial.)
I'm leaning towards choice 8: fastest, and upgradable..
And also, which RAM manufaturer should I choose? I'm debating between Corsair and Crucial and OCZ, but I'm probably choosing Crucial because Corsair and OCZ don't have 1 GB DDR400 SODIMM RAM sticks.
Thanks for all your help!
