[Discuss] Laptop memory card needs a good home

[j.natowitz at rcn.com (Jerry Natowitz)]

That may be the case for DDR3, given that you can buy 2GB DDR3 SODIMMs 
on eBay for about $8 including shipping, but the old DDR, which I guess 
we should call DDR1, topped out at 1GB, with the exceptions of some 2GB 
server DIMMS.  The going price for a 1GB PC-3200 SODIMM is about $24, 
512MB around $10.

Of course you can question the wisdom to putting any time and effort 
into upgrading a laptops that are at least 8 years old (like my Thinkpad 
T40 and T42).
