    I would say there pretty much useless.

    laptops only have 2 slots for ram in them and 1 gig is basically the minimum anyone with ddr2 will have.

    There probably only worth about $5 a peice now anyways. Keep em as spares or see if any friends need them? Doubt many people would be looking to buy them though.

    ya with Vista people lke me are upgrading to 2 gigs a laptop

    it was cheaper for me to buy the laptop with one gig and upgrade it to 2 gig then it was to pay extra with the 2 gig in it in the first place

    but you did make a good point which was save it just in case one goes bad

    they are even too thick to use as book markers
