Default Is this a good deal, on RAM ?

I need to update my RAM, I currenlty have 512 and I want 2gb.
I also wanted a Lightscribe DVD burner.
More importantly is the ram.

I found this deal on Ebay. Tell me if its a good deal if it stays below $160 with shipping

http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-M7680N-MEDIA-...QQcmdZViewItem

If you don't want to click on the link, just go to ebay and put in the number
Item number: 190112308547

Let me know
If not where else can I find cheap 2 gb ram, used or whatnot
Newegg and meritline are great, I just might continue shopping there.

Peace

NON-REFUNDABLE
no testing could be conducted.
Due to the fact that we were unable to fully test all functions

Bad signs... You can find a DVD lightscribe and 2gb RAM combo easily on newegg for under $160.

Yeah now it got too expensive
But for $150 shiped it was worth the risk.
Cause it brought a case and a couple extras.

I'm just going to buy them new, or I'll keep looking
I know I can get a brand new Lightscribe for around $30
Brb in the AM hours
peace

LOL, pretty old machine you have there, i would rather suggest you to save money rather than expending 50$ on a 512 mb ram stick, but if you can oh well.

this memory is the higher model that works with your computer
