LOL, those are probably all the chips from people like me who are returning
them...

BEWARE...I had one of these in my T21 and while it seemed to work OK, no
errors, proper countup, etc., the system would NOT go into BIOS setup with
the Crucial 256mb SODIMM installed. I removed it and all is well.

I noticed that the IBM spec for the RAM is CL=3 and the Crucial RAM is CL=2.
What is CL and do we care?

I agree it's a great deal esp. with the discounts. I got free shipping on
mine. But if it doesn't work, it's not really worth it...ya think?

FWIW, Crucial has 256MB modules for these 2 machines in their
clearance section for $49 (click "specials" on main page.
