Thanks for your info and offer, Arie. But my laptop has 144(?) pin PC66
sodimm, which is physically quite smaller than desktop dimm and simm of
all variations.  I have various leftovers of ancient 36, 72, etc desktop
ram cards already to try if it were that simple :-/. I think I will play
safe and just chase PC66/PC100 128mb card off ebay where I have been
monitoring prices already - unless some esteemed plug member has any
suitable sodimms lying around ;-)
