Interesting site and very helpful! <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.si/html/@4D7C97FD8435BC5F6F42C999D01DAE43/images/smilies/026.png" alt=":cool:" title=":cool:" /> <BR /><BR />I have a Japanese OS TX51B and want to upgrade the memory.<BR /><BR />I can see in the VAIO info for my VAIO that says the memory module is VGP-MM1GA and runs at 400mHz.<BR /><BR />The replacement I see on the web shows the speed to be 667 mHz. I have been told differently about what I should do!<BR /><BR />1. Buy and install the 667mHz module because your VAIO will just default to the lower speed,<BR /><BR />2. you must buy the correct speed module, i.e 400mHz!<BR /><BR /><BR />Now this may be a Cardinal Sin, but I was also told I can buy another companies module, and I will be in Japan in 3 weeks time. I know Buffalo do a module for 7800 Yen, so about 35 pounds. But of course, Sony say only use genuine Sony modules ! <BR /><BR />Is buying Sony memory really critical ? Buffalo seems repuatble in Japan. <BR /><BR />My last thought is that I want to buy the long life battery VGP-BPL5 and I think I just switch batteries, then charge the new battery up, and that's it! But I was told that I will need to change something in the BIOS ! <BR /><BR />Any advice welcomed!<BR /><BR />Ofiaich :smileygrin:<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 21 Jun 2007 08:40:37 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-module-for-tx51b-tx2-in-uk/m-p/62136#M72653 ofiaich 2007-06-21T08:40:37Z Re: Memory Module for TX51B _ TX2 in UK https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-module-for-tx51b-tx2-in-uk/m-p/62137#M72654 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>1st off welcome to CV.<BR /><BR />Sony memory is actually usual Hitachi so any brand is not a problem.<BR /><BR />As for the speeds you are correct about it defaulting to the speed it can deal with so to be honest i would buy the slower 400MHz and save the money because thats all it'll run at.<BR /><BR /><A href="http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.aspx?model=VAIO+VGN%2DTX2HP%2FW" target="_blank">Crucial</A> is the best place to get the RAM from as they sell you what you actually need.<BR /><BR />Hope that helps <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.si/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 21 Jun 2007 16:17:59 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-module-for-tx51b-tx2-in-uk/m-p/62137#M72654 MattWilson 2007-06-21T16:17:59Z Re: Memory Module for TX51B _ TX2 in UK https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/memory-module-for-tx51b-tx2-in-uk/m-p/62138#M72655 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Matt, Thanks very much for your reply and your welcome!!<BR /><BR />Sorry for my slow reply, live next to one of the badly flooded areas, been busy,,, <BR /><BR />I am off to Japan on Thursday, so I will checke out memory modules there.
