    Thanks for posting this link KnightUnit. There are no specs on that page though. Can anybody who knows confirm that this is a 2GB stick of 667mhz ram?
    Thanks

    That Transcend module works OK in every notebook I tried it in (Intel 945 and 965 and ATI 1250M chipsets). It's excellent value (and was £400 in January). The CU-Z report is attached.

    I've now got two: One in my Zepto 6024W and one in the Sony G11. And don't worry about the theoretical performance hit if you have 1GB + 2GB. It seem to be around 3% on the memory bandwidth. See this thread for some test results.

    The mysterious thing is that you won't find the module on that site if you look under the DDR2 SODIMMs. However, they do exist and will arrive in about 5 days from order through the postal system.
