Transcend notebook memory

[TechHead99]

I'm upgrading my cousin's toshiba M60 satellite's ram for him(only came with 256mb). This is my first time upgrading a notebook that uses ddr2 sodimm. I found this transcend memory to be the cheapest and it even has a $10 MIR.

it says the chips on here are samsung chips so i guess it's pretty good. has anyone had any experience with this memory before? i'm also considering the kingston since it's got good reviews. any suggestions? TIA

I'm wondering the same thing. I've seen transcend used quite a bit in some of the smaller builders computers (ABS uses them I'm pretty sure) but I have never used this brand my self. I need to purchase 2 1gb sticks of this within the next few days and I am basically running the same debate as you are. Purchase and try to save a few bucks or go with the kingston.

No one has experience with transcend?

I 'bought' two of these from BestBuy when they were running their free memory coupon. 2 512MB sticks of PC2700 SODIMM's. works great in my wife's 600m. She's not a heavy user though. Everything installed great and they both worked witout a hitch out of the box.
