Title: Will Dell Laptop Memory Work In a Acer Laptop?
Post by: johngetter on September 07, 2010, 07:23:06 PM
I dont think It matters on what Brand it is As long as it fits I guess.   ???

But here is what my acer can take with ram
 http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Aspire%204520 (http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Aspire%204520)

Thats what Im looking for. Then I looked at ebay and saw this
http://cgi.ebay.com/DELL-LAPTOP-MEMORY-RAM-2GB-1GB-x-2-PC2-6400S-666-DDR2-/180558255334?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a0a1c54e6#ht_500wt_1154 (http://cgi.ebay.com/DELL-LAPTOP-MEMORY-RAM-2GB-1GB-x-2-PC2-6400S-666-DDR2-/180558255334?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a0a1c54e6#ht_500wt_1154)

It looks like it would work but I am unsure. Does brand matter? Would this ram even Fit? (on ebay)
And one more thing is This Ram run good? I mean is it a sluggish type or is it good? Im just wonderin because the Price is so cheap.  :o

I see the seller will allow return within 7 days after the buyer receives it.  So, you would have a chance to try the RAM in your computer and, if it does not work, return it.

As far as price, I have the impression you are not familiar with ebay auctions. The bidding on that item does not close until Sep 10, 201015:38:28 PDT.  Bidding near auction close time often occurs at a rapid pace and quickly drives the price up shortly before the auction closes.  So, in the end, it's selling price may not be much, or any, less than crucial.com.
