My poor little Inspiron 500m with a 1.3 Ghz Pentium M normally has 2 x 512's but the first SODIMM slot has gone bad and throws out all kinds of errors whenever something is put in the slot now. Running on a single slot of 512 megs of ram is *OK* for most things and old school games but with 8+ firefox tabs open I start get disk thrashing like crazy. I wanna breath more life into it, considering I just replaced the USB board, the other one had all kinds of broken pins. I wanna keep the old engine going and max out the surviving slot. It runs DDR266 but should be able to manage DDR333/400 just fine as well.
I'm also probably going to get a bluetooth module and maybe upgrade the CPU later, but right now I need more ram for it!
Any of you selling any 1GB ddr1 sodimm chips for cheap?
