Hi, trying to find memory upgrade for my Dell E6410, the first Brand come to my mind
is Kingston. But using their module selector page:

http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/modelsinfo.asp?SysID=62661&mfr=Dell&model=Latitude+E6410&search_type=&root=anz&LinkBack=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingston.com%2Fanz&Sys=62661-Dell-Latitude+E6410&distributor=0&submit1=Search

it gives me part numbers not available in NZ.

For example in PB, there all the modules under Laptop
http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=c&p=memory_laptop

All comes with KVR something instead of KTD from Kingston, and browse in pricespy give me same
part number as PB. Why the part number listed in Kingston website not available here, or why we
have different part number here in NZ?

Was going to say, anyone with an Ingram Micro account could get them - they are listed there (but out of stock). Pretty sure PB just show Ingram's stock listing.

Ingram currently have 3 of the L3A/2G sticks, none of the 4Gb ones.

Guess Ingram is their supplier? Only 3 left, in NZ, OMG gonna to fast!

Guess the point of Dell memory module is that guaranteed to work ( been specified tested ), but
in theory any compatible module should working, but not guaranteed?
