Our Daily Deal: 4GB Laptop Memory for $28.99

by Terrence O'Brien on March 13, 2009 at 11:57 AM


The folks over at TechDealDigger are letting us know about some of the best deals they find on gadgets every day, so we're going to pass that information on to you. After all, in these tough economic times, every little bit counts. We may not be buying Swarovski-covered iPods any time soon, but everyone needs essentials like a computer, so take a look at what the online deals site sent us today.

Maybe you can't afford to cough up the cash for a brand new laptop, but you can greatly boost its performance with a cheap and simple memory upgrade. Memory is generally inexpensive, but we haven't seen any cheaper memory than this 4GB deal from Amazon. The catch? First, you'll have to send in for a rebate to get the price down to $28.99 (you'll pay $43.99 up front) and it's not exactly the latest or greatest tech: The 800Mhz DDR2 RAM from OCZ is a generation old, but that means that it will still work with most laptops (check with your manufacturer first). Regardless, you'll be hard pressed to notice the performance difference between this and the newer DDR3 -- unless you're doing a lot of gaming or video editing.

Watch this space every day for new tech deals. [From: TechDealDigger]
