Hi,

Today I acquired my 2nd MB that requires ddr2 memory, from my usual
source, the local scrapyard.

The computer-box is a Lenovo, made about 2008 and has a 160 Gb hdd and
2 sticks of 1 Gb memory - I'd assume that it is standard ddr2 memory
except that it says in a one line description on each stick
"1GB,DD2 DIMM,F", (marked as made by PNY). I have to wonder if it's
counterfeit and the makers just couldn't spell ddr2; however, I was
able to find a few references to dd2 memory by DAGS, which mostly
referred to PC2-4200 memory.

So far, after disassembling, cleaning, replacing the cmos battery and
reassembling the box, I've not had any luck starting it, not really
surprising considering I paid a couple bucks for it. I've got five
different ddr2 sticks now (actually 2 dd2 sticks and 3 ddr2 sticks) ,
3 different working power supplys, and just downloaded some tech info
from the Lenovo site, but I don't know if that's gonna be enough to
get it running. Anyway, just curious if anyone else is seeing ddr2
memory marked as dd2. (Okay, I guess I'm gloating a little bit too,
but know I'm really not entitled to at this point.)


What memory does the munufacturer say it uses?
