When I got my X300, I had some lockup problems. Since then they've pretty much gone away, I wasn't able to find a source for the problem or a pattern, and I wonder if a BIOS or other update fixed it.
I've also still got only 2GB RAM which I know is too little for Vista. Occasionally it looks like the notebook has locked up when it's actually just slow. I figure I should get a 2GB SODIMM in case I go to 64bit OS at some point. The price is pretty low so I'm thinking it's worth it just in case. www.crucial.com says I should buy 200-pin SODIMM, DDR2 PC2-6400 and that Lenovo specs a minimum PC2-5300. Both are the same price on their site, is there any downside to the faster RAM used beside a Lenovo issue SODIMM? "CT791083 • DDR2 PC2-6400 • CL=6 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-800 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64" vs. "CT791088 • DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64" On their sites, Crucial is $27, Kingston is $40, and Lenovo is $44 (US sites). Not that much more for Lenovo. Newegg's pricing ranges from $20 to $27 on the 2GB (5300), on names like Mushkin and PNY to Crucial and Kingston. Is there a difference between them? Are some brands important to avoid?
