So I just got this new Dell laptop, nothing special, but it is just for school to take notes and stuff. however, it only has 256mb RAM, and it shows! so i have this IBM Thinkpad, which has the same type of DDR in it. I know that sometimes companies like that are anal and only support proprietary stuff, I was wondering if anyone knew of such a thing between Dell and/or IBM. Think it would work to take the 256 out of the IBM and slap it in the Dell for 512? The Dell has one "User Accessible", as they call it, RAM slot, so I could throw it in that.
