If anyone’s interested, I messed up trying to upgrade the memory on the Vaio, and I now have two spare PC133 144-pin SODIMMs up for auction on eBay: they are a 192MB SODIMM and 256MB SODIMM [update: the 256MB one sold on the 28th] — both gave the Vaio palpitations. Feel free to bid – the reserve is a fiver less than the Buy It Now! price on both auctions.

Oh, I got quoted about 80 quid on Tottenham Court Road for a PC133 256MB SODIMM … when I silently fell aghast at the price quoted, I said “OK, thanks, just looking at prices”, the salesman replied with “… OK, I’ll give it you for 70!” He wasn’t realising he could have made the sale for 45 quid less, but I think that would have hurt his profit margins just a tad :)
