He would have 256MB x 2 .. not 512MB.halo_3 said:if somebody is selling 2x512mb of ram you will have to throw out the existing 512mb ram stick since most laptops support 2 sticks only.
what you need is either one 1GB ram or one 512MB stick.
halo_3 said:^^ no, he has 512mb already. if he buys 2x512mb, he will have a total of 1.5GB (3x512mb sticks).. got it?
he does not have 256mb nor he is looking for 256mb.
halo_3 said:please show me where 1gb of ddr1 laptop ram is being sold for 700 and i will definitely buy 2-3 ram sticks myself.
you are most likely seeing ddr2 which is much much cheaper than ddr1. according to current price: (cheapest) DDR2<DDR3<DDR1<SD (costly)
in fact new 1gb ddr2 stick costs only 800 so 700 for a USED ddr2 stick is actually very expensive.
