ok heres the deal. i have a HP Compaq nx9005 with the product number
DH905A. it has 256 mb of ram and lets face it thats just not enough for the video editing i want to do. so i want to upgrade the ram right now i have 1 open slot for more ram. the hp website says that it only takes a certain kind of ram i believe its PC2100 DDR-266. so when i try to look for that i can't find it but conviently HP is selling a 256 mb upgrade for 212 dollars. for some reason that seems absolutely rediculus to pay over 200 dollars for only an additional 256 mb of ram. does anyone know where i can get this ram somewhere else for cheaper? or will the computer still run with something i buy off newegg.com or something? not sure how strick the compatibility is but with a pricetag of 212 bucks for a small amount of ram i wouldn't be surprised if its the only thing i can buy...which i refuse to do. so if anyone can help that would be great.
