    Hello!

    I am going to upgrade my Dell XPS m1530 and I have a few questions. First, does the Corsair Value Select SO-DIMM DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHz work on it? Second, I dont know what harddrive im going to get, either the Travelstar 7K200 (200gig) or the Seagate Momentus 7200.2 (160gig). The Seagate Momentus is a SATA2, does that work with the m1530?

    Thanks!
    /Patrik

    Hard drives work, SATA II is overkill anyway, doesn't matter. THe 7k200 will have better performance. The RAM will work.
