Description: The Kingston 32MB Module For IBM Thinkpad 770/600 chip is a 32 MB, notebook memory module.Compared to other notebook memory modules on the market, it is midpriced at around $65.This product is intended for use in select IBM systems, though it is likely compatible for use in any comparable PC.This module upgrades more mature computer systems, typically those running older Athlon, Duron and Celeron processors.
Pros: None noted, given available product data.
Cons: Has a 66 MHz clock speed.(Though you always want to purchase the fastest memory supported by your system, be sure not to mix modules of different speeds if you already have memory installed.)Also, this module only has 32 MB of onboard memory, which is considerably less than than some similarly priced modules.
Suitability: A notebook memory module, suited for upgrading system RAM.Memory upgrades are the best way to improve performance in a notebook, since you can't upgrade its processor.Note that this memory module will typically install in older systems, such as (Intel) Pentium-III, Celeron, and (AMD) Athlon and Duron based computers.
Value: Overall, this module's features seem a bit weak for its price, compared to most other modules.In fact, the average price of notebook memory modules with a similar amount onboard memory is quite a bit less, around $50.On the brighter side, this module is manufactured by Kingston, a trusted source for reliability and compatibility.
suggestions: (1) You will need an open SO DIMM 144-pin slot or be willing to swap out an existing module to accommodate this one.(2) Be sure to check with the retailer for warranty information on this product.(3) For more information on upgrading your system's RAM, check out CNET's How to page.
