Hi Nate

Be very careful. I tried upgrading my old T22's RAM once when I went to visit 
a friend of mine in Switzerland, and whereas the generic module he had looked 
the same as the 128MB module that was in the machine, it did not work. In 
order to test it we plugged it into one of his HP laptops, and it worked, so 
the module was in working order. The bloke who sold me that T22 did warn me 
about this sort of thing. I wonder if the same thing applies to an X30?

regards
Duncan
