hi there,

i got one question. i have an age old ibm thinkpad r30 (pentium III 1.0 Ghz with 256 mb RAM (128x2 unit = i checked it using BelArc Prog) and I would like to upgrade the RAM to at least 512 mb or 1Gb RAM. Which Kingston RAM Model i should look for as I understand that pentium III motherboard cannot support more than 256 Mb RAM in a single stick and it has to be 16 chips?

Please advise.. thank you...
