Thanks in advance

My prices:

kingston 512mb so-dimm , 200 pin - DDR2-533 , CL4 , 1.8v - lifetime warranty
R790

kingston 1024mb so-dimm , 200 pin - DDR2-533 , CL4 , 1.8v - lifetime warranty
R1430

So the memory is exactly the same for both laptops?

Because we got a quote with two different prices for the 2 laptops :
1024mb R1870 for the T42 and 1024mb R1352 for the R52

No, I cant find those exact models on IBM's website (need to know if they are DDR or DDR2 because that would cause a difference)

 

[wesleyfraser]

I would I check if it is DDR or DDR2

What would you need to identify the laptops correctly?

Download cpu-z here: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

Run it (even in its zipped folder form) and check what it says under SPD tab...

 

[wesleyfraser]

Well then i guess my memory is ddr...

 

[wesleyfraser]

Do you have DDR ram?

kingston 1024mb so-dimm , 200 pin - ddr400 , pc3200 , 3-3-3 - lifetime warranty

Not being stupid.

That is DDR333 (also called PC2700) and anything DDR400 (PC3200) would work with it, it would just downclock itself to match that modules speed.
