Re: [Thinkpad] Any spare 128Mb SDRAM ??

CL2 is not a parity reference,

CL stands for "CAS latency," which is the number of clock cycles it
takes before data starts to flow once a command is received. Low CAS
latency is faster than high CAS latency. However, faster memory will NOT
necessarily make your system faster. Your computer will only run as fast
as the "slowest link" in your system, so you can't speed up your
computer by adding memory that is faster than your current memory. The
way to make your system faster is to add more megabytes (MB) of memory.

Have you tried crucial.com? $56 for 128mb
