Re: [Thinkpad] RE: Thinkpad t40 2373 Ram

exactly right..

FIWI, the upgrade memory is in a small door in the bottom..
the standard memory part is under the keyboard..
the last i heard, the 1gig parts are STILL about $800 to
$900..!
in these times WAAY too expensive.. whether here, in germany
or iraq.. :-)
