I verify what any given system would allow for an upgrade via 'crucial.com'.
They are really good with that data.
Then I note the specifics and shop around, between crucial, amazon, newegg,
tigerdirect and microcenter.Beyond them, I shop around via google searches for
the exact components I require, comparing prices and any deals I can get in
general, or via coupons I might have (or find by searching for them), etc.... I
do also keep in mind the shipping costs, and estimated shipping timeframe.
In my experience most of what I've purchased in the last two years has been
from either Newegg, or off Amazon (Prime).
As for the USB LAN connection devices.... I've not used one in a long time, but
I found reasonably good throughput in the past. They do 'work', but I've been
wary/concerned in the past as the potential is there for physical damage to the
laptop and/or that plugged-in component, depending on your situation, stability
(where you are in one place for a while), or portability where you are packing
up and setting up frequently (i.e. someone who travels a lot). Your mileage
may vary (YMMV)!!

Hi.
Thinking of upgrading a laptop.
Any opinions on good/best online to get 8G mem sticks as well as 1G
internal hard drive. Laptop will already have 256 SSD.
Also, anyone have opinions/thoughts on using the USB to LAN
connectors, as opposed to the onboard LAN interface/port?
thanks
