You can double check with this "Memory Finder". I could not do it because you did not post the model number.

@mpc, if you bought DDR2 5300, then $44 is a lot. It sells for $30 in the big electronic stores. But maybe you had another kind.

mpc, Understand, I guess it depends how far the next store is. So you paid $88 for the 2GB's. Right?

That's a good price - very good even. You are a good shopper.

No sweat mpc, it was just one little number that needed to be clarified - 2 instead of 1. I watch prices pretty closely, but I do not like to buy on the internet. Only from companies that accept PayPal because I never put anything else on the net. And I am a cash guy too. Hate credit cards.

@whs: Why don't you like credit cards? And why don't you like to buy on the internet?
