[ltp] MDK 10.1 Performance and ThinkPad T22 HD SODIMMs

[Andrew Crawford]

I upgraded to Mandrake/Mandriva 10.1 on my ThinkPad T22 recently.  The 
newer distro is a little sluggish and I thought going up to 512MB of RAM 
(from 256MB) might help.  Crucial sells the appropriate PC100 SODIMMs 
for ~$225 USD (2x256MB) ... which is awfully steep (consider that 256MB 
PC133 SODIMMs are in the ~$50 USD range - less than 50% the price).

There's a guy on eBay who has a bunch of new 256MB PC100 SODIMMs and 
only wants ~$45 USD for them.  However, they are high density.  I can't 
find any references to high density RAM either way in manual or in the 
IBM/Lenovo support docs.  Anybody know if these will work?

Anybody have any better suggestions?
