Dumb question time! Is memory chips for a Toshiba different from from a normal computer?
Depends on what you're talking about, ("Junker"?) Jim. :) Start with
I had to drop "Junker", my darling wife hated it. <G>
the model, and head to http://www.crucial.com/ to see if they have
So, I looked at crucial.com and found that they had 32mb and 64 mb chips for my system. BTW I have a Toshiba Satellite 220CS laptop with 16mb built-in memory and you can add up to 128mb in a single chip. What I found surprising was that the 64mb chip was about half the price of the 32mb. I looked over everything and to be honest I still am not sure does this laptop need special "laptop memory chips" or normal 72pin etc memory?
memory for it. If they don't, it's proprietary, and you need to do more digging. Are we talking about a desktop or a laptop? Most, as in "almost every single", desktop machines use either SIMMs or DIMMs, of which there are several types each. Laptops from pre-SODIMM days mostly used proprietary memory. SODIMMs (relatively speaking) are pretty new technology. Look to Crucial, then to Kingston, and let us know what you find out...
